..With both of you on having frosh placed that high on a list. Ive got no doubt whatsoever that Pistol Paige is going to be a force, but not so sure she'll take over the reins entirely from Christyn Williams and Evina Westbrook so that all three of them are listed between 10 and 16.

Can she play a few games first?

- Speaking of Westbrook, she was a highly recruited guard who started for Tennessee but the Orange, if you remember, didn't exactly set the house on fire. She sat out last year and is now...#16? And how is that mix with Pistol Paige and Christyn Williams going to work out? There's only one ball.

- I like Haley Jones. She makes teams better. But she only played half a season before injuries took her out and she was just finding her place in a very talented Stanford lineup. Wouldn't of put her in the Top 25...yet.

- But the one player coming back from injury who I think is going to make a major difference is nowhere to be seen. Two years agao, Tiana Mangakahia had more assists than anyone not named Sabrina. After beating back cancer (knock on wood all the time), she'll return to lead a Syracuse team that has returning weapons (Lewis, Engstler) and a super frosh class (Cardoso, Willlams).

- All power to Ali Patberg. I'm sure MM and Niele were hoping this would be the case when they first recruited her. Just not in IU Red. Still, circumstances have a strange way of unfolding: if Ali doesn't transfer and Lili gets hurt, do Marina and Jackie not become co-lead guards that help ND take off (and help both of them develop and diversify their skill set enough to help professionally). Still, love seeing Ali's pony tail flop and work with Grace Berger.
