:wow: I don't see how they can think this right now...especially with FIVE other Big Ten teams in the top 15.

Well, i guess they already know where all the portal players will end up.

Funny how a top 10 national recruit will give a program some "credibility" in the eyes of the national media.

Iowa had 5 players enter the portal so they may not live up to early predictions.

Four of those five were not playing much this season. The 5th is former 5* Addy Deal, she showed good potential at times, but, also was not getting many minutes down the stretch. As the article states, they get a new 5* and will have a core of juniors-to-be.

I did think they overperformed to finish as a top ten team this past season; but, they will be tough again.
 
I'd love us to be the 11th best team in the country next year, but that seems too optimistic. I hope our incoming recruits can replace what we're losing with Petrie, and that Potts and Weidner are healthy. If everything works out, then yeah, best case scenario could be that high, but I would be happy with just having a stronger team that makes it directly into the tournament and skips the play-in round.
 
When those who do "Way Too Early" polls, why do they say anything else? Because it is way too early to say anything more. "mshrug:
