It's early but something to keep me occupied while I wait for the rest of the schedules to come out...

THE 2007-08 STANFORD CARDINAL
STRENGTHS
• The Candice factor ... SR G Candice Wiggins can single-handedly turn a game around and has done so on many occasions (ask the rest of the Conference) ... A two-time Pac-10 Player of the Year and certainly the league's most decorated returning player, she fought through a couple of injuries last season to still score 16.9 ppg, ranking sixth in the Pac-10 ... This is her last NCAA title shot, so look for Wiggins to leave it all on the floor.
CONCERNS
• Is there a monkey? ... Things certainly didn't end the way the Cardinal had hoped last year as they bowed out in the second round of the NCAA Tournament ... Could a shake-up in the coaching ranks usher in a renewed sense of urgency?

| Thanks for posting the link. I didn't know Ironmonger joined her fellow AIS classmate Manou at Oregon. While Manou is raw and has some potential, sadly Ironmonger is not a particularly useful player. |

Wow, the Pac-10 is on top of things.
None of the Big Ten teams have even announced a schedule.
I'm really hoping USC can make some noise. Doesn't Arizona have two sets of twins? And aren't they all post players? It's surprising that their concern is post related.

| It shouldn't be a surprise - Bonvicinni hasn't been able to pull any quality bigs to Tucson in a long time, not since Polk arrived on campus five years ago. Guard play has been the Wildcats' relative strength the last few seasons.

| Hey Keegan, I know she's not an Aussie, but any thoughts on the Tall Fern (Jess McCormack) headed the UW's way?

Allegedly quite promising - I haven't seen her play though. Has quite a few people in NZ excited (it's NZ WBB though - Angela "what the hell is shot selection" Marino gets them excited  ) |

Watched her play at the U18 Oz nationals, promising, but a long way to go. The other good bigs there ala, Francis, Tolo, Harper, Brentnall, etc etc had no problems on either end of the floor with her. For Keegan, I would have even put Ironmonger ahead of her.
Having said that, she has good height, is athletic, runs the floor well.
