LV's #15 In Preseason AP Poll

[RAVOL]

They were number 13 at the end of last year, gained a great player in Alexis Dye, and brought in the number 9 recruiting class in the country. Jordon Horston and Tamari Key have another year under their belt and Rae Burrell has proven herself over and over again. They have a ton of depth. I don't think the name on the front of Jersey doesn't has anything to do with it considering we weren't even ranked to start last season with a potential SEC Player of the Year candidate in the starting lineup (Rennia Davis). If they stay healthy, this should be a top ten ranked team by the end of the season.

Agree if each of the starters from last year improve their game with the addition of Dye who is a baller ad will now play with talent beside her and better depth due to Freshman Class we should be Top 10. IN CHRIST Alone.

I don't think Geno agrees with the poll:
Geno's reaction to poll

“I’m not even sure how we’re No. 2,” Auriemma said. “Doesn’t Stanford have everybody back from a team that won it? Lost a point guard. So what? We lost a point guard one year; we were still No. 1 the following year. We should probably be like fourth or fifth.”

You believe him? He’s just being a smartass.

No coach wants to start out top-5,,,6-on is much less pressure
As a top 5 all you can do is fall, bc you're already at the top

Look at our own girls, ranked 15,,,and did we blink?
Nope
All we saw was an "easy way to grade"

I think this high ranking says more about their estimation of Coach Kellie as someone who can develop players and prepare young players to compete at the next level. R E S P E C T

Sports Illustrated has us at #20. Mentioned the upward trajectory, but only players mentioned wete Rennia (!) and Alexus. Poor Rae snubbed once again.

They had Conn U at #1 and cited Bueckers plus the tall, underachieving center (whose name just now escapes me) and Fudd, who has yet to play a college game. Also huge pic of Bueckers. Fanboy service lives on.
