On the roster in the link they will only have 6 players in Nov/Dec. Then 7 in Jan.
I know they lost like 8 girls but don't they have some people coming?
Not a lot of scoring besides Banham and Wagner of the girls listed?

Doesn't look like the freshmen and JUCO transfers have been added to the roster yet. I believe there is 3 or 4 of them total.
 

They'll contend for the title. If Buckingham is a adequate replacement for Zahi B and the new girls are the real deal. It will be a fun venue this winter at the Barn.

Comment from early June: Women’s basketball head coach Marlene Stollings’ recruiting class sits at seven right now, with two freshman, two transfers and three junior college players. She said the team “might add a couple more late.” So, now, maybe one more to come? And thats out to be Edwards.

They have 4 centers now...seems Lamke would redshirt if Buckingham did...and if Barnes or Edwards is stellar. One of the centers would seem a redshirt candidate?

I'll agree they should be respectable but if they are contending for a title I'd say that was unexpected by most...but I could be wrong...fairly easily. They do have 15 players now so I do think they put things together pretty well after the departures. No idea how good any of the incoming people are but nobody seems wow from press clippings. But they also seem to have potential.
