Kneepkins commits to UCLA

I think that on paper we're at least as good a team as last season.

Losing Barker hurts. She did things no one else on the current roster does. Can Sienna replace those things is a big question. On the flipside, Close only played her like 10-11 minutes/game.

Looks like
Lauren
Dugalic
Gabby or L-W
Kneepkins
Kiki

C/F
Sienna
Gardiner
Muse
Wing/guard
Bilic

That's 8 very strong players + Muse and Bilic, who I don't know anything about.

Now, I hope CCC gets out there in the portal and gets some decent young players. We have (I think) 3 empty roster spots, and 6 players (I think) lose eligibility. I've never been very good at cipherin', but looks like CCC needs to find 9 players between now and the start of the 26/27 season.

From this roster, we'll have Gabby, Sienna, Bilic, and Muse.

But, all the big teams are re-loading and it looks like we'll be able to compete.
