Sports Illustrated picks GW as the tenth best team in the USA next year and they could be right. The Colonials only lose one senior Kenan Cole who accounted for 11 points in 31 minutes average.
GW does not add any top 100 Hoopgurlz or Scout prospects to the lineup but they get back a more experienced team that lost only to Maryland, Tennessee, UNC and St Joseph's in the finals of the A 10 tournament by 2 points. This team beat Georgia by 12 and Texas A&M by 12 in the NCAA Tournament.

Chrissy Givens is gone but Amber Holt and Brandi Brown are back - Amber led the team in scoring in the NCAA tournament. Insell adds the Duffey sisters and Jasmine was Blue Star #18 - top recruit to ever sign with Ga Tech - at 6'7" she gives the Blue Raiders some height they need. Sister Jawanda at 6'4" give MTSU their version of the Paris twins along with the 6'plus Boyd sisters.
Don't know what happened to Ke Ke Stewart from Oak Ridge who signed up in 06. Anybody know?
Insell has fifteen players and he's a top coach. MTSU will be NCAA material and they have the chance to make some noise. This team won't challenge Tennessee for state supremacy this year.
