and maybe the most important is staying healthy. We have 3 stud players this year, Sophie, Frericks, and Porter. And each one has health issues of varying degrees. All 3 need to be healthy and ready to go all season long, and have great years, if we are going to be a top 25 team and be in the mix for a national seed and a home regional. If any of those 3 go down for any significant length of time it's going to change the trajectory of the season. On paper this is Pingetons most talented team, by far. I have high expectations for them but those 3 players need to stay healthy. If so, I think we will be surprising a lot of teams in the SEC this year. It's going to be fun I think watching Aldridge come in and manage the offense in a way that Doty never could due to her lack of size, and watching Amber Smith take that next step as a sophomore; I think she will be an all SEC player before her career here is done, and that's saying a lot given the talent level in the conference.
