WBB: Way too early 2022 Bracketology

[mred]

Women's Bracketology: LSU, Iowa open on top line, but UConn is No. 1 overall

LSU and Iowa open as top seeds along with UConn and Utah. The Huskies are No. 1 overall in our first projection for 2023-24.

ISU is a 4 seed, which is reasonable. Others:

Baylor 1
Iowa 3
WVU 4
Texas 9
OSU 11 (last 4 in)
OU 1st 4 out
LSU Next 4 out

That's a pretty optimistic #1 for Baylor. That assumes almost all the players stay and they hire a really good coach who ends up doing a great job. There are no true blue blood schools in WBB, only blue blood level coaches. UConn is Geno. South Carolina is Staley. Baylor was Mulkey. Tennessee was Summitt. The WBB elite are the coaches, it' not like some Kentucky or a cheating ass Kansas where sustained success is a given.

What???? You don't like Kansas?

Yeah, I think we can wait for the coaching carousel to stop turning and most of the players in the portal to land someplace before we start taking any projections seriously.

I wonder how many of the Baylor recruits Kim poaches away to follow her to LSU?

I looked at LSU this past year. They finished 9-13 but most of their league losses were all by single digit margins.
