NCAA Women Basketball Prediction 2009 - 2010

Hello women basketball fans.  I wanted to give my prediction to this year up and coming women basketball season.  I've read everyone elses prediction. Here is minds.  I've been following women basketball for a while now. I used to coach AAU boys and girls basketball. This year the anticipation for women basketball is at a all time high.  I am really enjoying women basketball right now.  These ladies are putting in alot of hard work in the offseason and it is really starting to show. So without further ado.  Number # 1 is ....

1. Connecticut... UConn Huskies... 

How can you pick against the best player in the country in Maya Moore. No one (Male or Female) works harder than Maya Moore. Now that Tina Charles played with the USA Women National Team her confident will be at a all time high. Beside the two of them they are lacking depth this year. This year they will definitely feel the effect of not having Elena Delle Donna. Renee Montgomery was a huge loss.  They will NOT go undefeated this year. But they do have a chance to repeat but it will be very hard.

2. Notre Dame... Lady Fighting Irish

 Notre Dame is ready for this season. There home games are selling out. The fans are excited. The love of basketball is in the air. The Irish got real lucky when a lady by the name of Skylar Diggins chose to stay home. This young lady is a mix between Cynthia Cooper and Diana Taurasi. Her skills are that good. She will raise the level of the whole team. She have the whole state of Indiana looking forward to women college basketball. They will be hard to beat.

3. Stanford... Lady Cardinal

You have to have 3 skills to play for Stanford. Smart, beautiful and can ball. (and there loaded). Jayne Appel is an all american. I've read that Nnemkadi Ogwumike is jumping out of the gym. They have all of their starters back from last year. For them to win a National Championship Kayla Pedersen and JJ Hones will have to have a big year.

4. North Carolina... Lady TarHeel

I wanted to rank this team number #2. But due to the unfortunate incident with Jessica Breland. (By the way I am praying for you. Forget about basketball for one year and concentrate on getting well. We love you!) I feel they are young but very good. North Carolina had the best recruiting class last year. Chay Shegog lost weight.  This team will score alot of points this year. Tierra Ruffin-Pratt, Waltiea Rolle and Krista Gross will have huge impacts this year.

5. Ohio State... Lady Buckeyes

Jantel Lavender and Samantha Prahalis will have to step up big. Samantha Prahalis is one of the best point guard in the country. She can handle the ball and can shoot lights out. Jantel Lavender is big and strong and can run the floor. They will need some  help if these ladies are expected to go far.


Here are my top 5. Please comment. I will have 6 - 10 next week.
