Twister Sisters come in at #8 in AP preseason poll
- Thread starter loyalsons4evertrue
- Start date
I think this is last year's final poll - do not think the new coach's poll is out yet.
That explains why Iowa was ranked so low. Here's the new AP poll:

acoustimac goes from 23-24 in one thread, back to 21-22 in this one. Can someone get him on the right year?
OK...I'll blame it on the fact I was at the eye doctor doing this with my eyes dilated. 
Here we go...and I was enjoying seeing Iowa ranked so far down...darn it. Amazing how they are a two trick pony and get ranked so high....
Interesting to see Baylor down there a ways...and Texas at #3? Hmmm...I thought they lost a lot after last year...curious...
Fritz is a net add over last year's team since they played practically the whole season without her.
How much more help do we need? What did the Hoks add to Caitlin and her pushing off to get open, to make them a top 5 team? That's more intriguing to me.
The only other new player is freshman PG Shantavia Dawkins, who might earn some pt behind Ryan. But as VeloClone pointed out above, Denae Fritz is essentially new given her injury last season after three games, and she'll compete for the starting spot not occupied by Joens/Ryan/Donarski/post.
not new but getting Fritz back (hopefully she can stay healthy this year) will be huge. She was playing really well up until her injury

Media day comments on Fritz.
She’s now healthy and ready to contribute again. Fennelly said Fritz has made massive strides and could be in the starting lineup.
“She’s going to impact our team dramatically,” Fennelly said.
Didn't the Big12 coaches vote the Cyclones ahead of Texa$ in the conference?
This was my thoughts exactly. Honestly thought we would be/should be flip-flopped with Iowa.
I hate to admit it but that game in Iowa City this year should be off the charts for atmosphere.
And national hype now, not just CyHawk local bragging rights. This should be a really good TV draw for WBB fans outside of Iowa.
