If Vic were still here I would tell you this is a Final Four team. I just don't know that you can expect that from Nikki in Year 1 though. I think she has a high ceiling as a coach, but I don't know what her floor is.
We should still be very good, and Vic left her a lot of young talent that she will have for multiple years. My questions are more in the long term range once our roster is the players she recruited. Can she maintain the level Vic was recruiting before he left? I'm skeptical of that. But can she still recruit well and keep us a competitive team every year? I think that's realistic.
I think this team finishes 2nd in the SEC and is a 2 or 3 seed in the NCAA Tourney. Should get to at least the Sweet 16 and has a chance to do better than that, but it will depend on what kind of coaching we get. Vic was the best we've had in any sport, and Nikki undoubtedly has huge shoes to fill.
