How good will our ladies team be next season?

Should be a top 40 team. Maybe top 25 if Vic can coach it. We'll still have the best center in the game. Not anything near to this team but still very good. I think sweet 16 is achievable too. Vic is an elite coach.

I might also remind everyone that our recruiting has been okay at HS level (honestly maybe could be better considering our dominance), but Vic has been killing it with transfers. Before I just realized that the UConn transfer couldn't play next season, I thought our lineup next season might have 4/5 players be 5* recruits. That's insane at MSU.

Guessing the starters next year will be something like:
Holmes at the point
Myah Taylor (5*)
Jordan Danberry (5*)
Would be the 5* UConn transfer, but will probably be Bibby with some Nyah Tate
Teaira McCowan (5*)

And that's assuming that neither of the two 5* true freshmen we have coming in will be impact players. Our recruiting is starting to roll. We'll have six 5* players on next year's roster, right?

This team will be young but very talented. Maybe something like this year's men's team (although much less frustrating to watch I'm sure).

I don't think anyone thinks Sweet 16 will be out of the question. I'm just saying it shouldn't be the expectation. I would say the expectations should be similar to a few years ago when the current team was all freshmen. We finished 3rd in the conference and made it the round of 32. I think that is more realistic expectations. We may end up better, or worse, but a Sweet 16 next year would be a huge accomplishment, not an expectation.
