tOSU loses their top two scorers (Hoskins was lost before the end of last season to injury) this team lost to Marist in the NCAA. They add number 3 Hoopgurlz Jantal Lavender to replace Davenport and will fight it out with Purdue, Minnesota, and who else in the Big Ten. I don't see them challenging the top 12 above given their tendency of blowing it in the tournament.

Evidently Lindsey Wisdom-Hylton is now out for the 2008 season putting a real dent in the Boilermaker's chances for 2008. They also lost the recruiting battle for Xavier's Ta'shia Phillips. They do add three top 90 recruits per Hoopgurlz but none over 50. They need a couple of Sidney Spencer's in that group to be a NCAA contender.

Despite Emily Fox's good showing in the Pan Am games it will be tough for Minnesota to be an NCAA contender given the loss of their top scorer and limited additions to the 17 - 16 2007 squad.
