Coming into today's scrimmage, I projected the Cardinal would finish 4th. in the PAC-12 behind Utah, UCLA and Colorado.  Now I'm moving them down to 5th. behind USC.  Sure hope my projections are wrong, but we will have a much better picture of how good this team is after November 12th.

Laugh out loud. Yes, let's move Stanford down in the predictions after observing an inter-team scrimmage for an hour, not even an exhibition game. How did USC look in their scrimmage to move them above Stanford? Oh wait.. 

I do appreciate your write up otherwise so thank you for that. But let's just stop with meaningless predictions.

Thank you for your critique.  Many people have already been making predictions so what's one more?  It's fun.

Actually I saw 'SC scrimmage 10 days ago when I was down in LA, checking in on the Trojans and Bruins. 'SC very ragged in the beginning, coming down the court, sometimes lazy, throwing the ball away a few times.  Gottlieb not happy; called a time out and when the scrimmage resumed, they were a different team.  Incredibly athletic at all positions with multiple players who can drive, finish and hit mid-range shots.  Not much 3-point shooting.  Ju Ju Watkins had her moments, but the player I was most impressed with was McKenzie Forbes, the Harvard transfer.  She can do it all.  Rayah Marshall and the 6'6 girl (Akunwafo- sp?) very athletic inside.  Defense insane.

Hope we catch them when they come up here (and perhaps) over-confident.


Their key will be their consistency or lack thereof.  That will be Gottlieb's challenge.

Well that's awesome that you actually did watch SC in a scrimmage recently. I do think they will exceed expectations and have a great year.

I would think Clardy could be backup PG as well as Jzaniya?

I REALLY like Clardy.  She seemed poised out there.
