Thanks. I reviewed the top 13 and found some items of note. by MPG

Wilson, Turner, Mitchell, Atkins, Canada, Williams, and McCarty stayed at their original schools and had successful careers. Of course, we hope that the best is yet to come for Brianna Turner.

Lejahna Drummer has stayed at UCLA despite limited playing time for her first two years and missing her junior year due to injury. She made progress in her 4th year with 6 pts and 6 rebs per game.

Everybody else transferred. Gabby Green from Cal to Loyola Marymount; Jatarie White from South Carolina to Texas, Sierra Calhoun from Duke to TOSU; Recee Caldwell from UCLA to Texas Tech; and Sadie Edwards from Storrs to Southern Cal. All of the transfers seem to have been successful at their new schools, but none have won a championship.

UCLA had the top rated class in 2014 with Canada, Drummer, Caldwell, and your #19, Billings. The best Coach Close could do with that group was an NIT title, an Elite Eight, and two Sweet Sixteens.

Coach Aston had three of the top 13 playing for her this year(Atkins, White,and McCarty) and could only reach the Sweet Sixteen where they lost to UCLA in an interesting twist of fate. She has had three Sweet Sixteens and one Elite Eight during the past four seasons.
