and the talent level should go up a notch w the ogwumike sisters, and more experience for the rest!

I haven't watched any of the women's games, but worth noting that the #2 and #3 scorers on the team (Goodwine and Hawkins) are both seniors. They are the top-2 in minutes played and FT%. Hawkins is #1 in assists and Goodwine is #1 in blocks. I'm not saying the talent will or will not go up. But unlike this year's men's team, there are a few strong contributors that will be graduating. This isn't really a "young" team, though another year will also mean more of Langley's recruits will be on the roster.

The Pepperdine transfering sisters (and sisters of Stanford's former all-american and #1 draft pick), who are sitting out this year, are better than anyone graduating from this year's team.

Isn't the Arizona transfer also sitting out this year and also considered quite good? I sort of think of her as the female Koulechev, though that is probably completely wrong on several levels.
