I beg to differ. imo last year was not about learning to "play together." we knew before the season that losing kiana and failing to get rice, miles, or similar would limit our success. several top 10, even top 5 players, is indeed usually necessary for a championship, but it's not sufficient. you need a top point guard who can take over a game, and we had 2 top-3 posts and a top-3 wing. our 3 national championship teams all had top guards. there was no henning/azzi, molly, jamila, candice, or kiana on the team last year. i am reminded of the 49ers against the eagles last year: can't win without a qb.
