The Tar Heels are well-represented in the preseason rankings:
#12 Elizabeth Scotty (Sr.)
#15 Abigail Forbes (Grad Student, 2 years left because she graduated from UCLA in three years; the #3 seed here)
#21 Fiona Crawley (Jr.) (the #1 seed here)
#28 Carson Tanguilig (So.) (a 5-8 seed here)
#31 Reilly Tran (Jr.)
And they also have #2 newcomer/#1 recruit Reese Brantmeier. They are going to have someone playing #6 that is good enough to play #1 on most teams. But as far as a top 3, no one touches Duke, who has #5 Chloe Beck, #6 Cameron Morra, and #8 Georgia Drummy. Three in the top ten (plus three others ranked further down)! Holy mackerel!
Sigh, Ma down an early break, 1-4 in the first.
How close are we to matching their lineup? And projecting ahead with the two top 10 recruit commitments we just got, how far does that help next year?
