I saw that...... can't imagine why she did not get it. I will be surprised if she doesn't win the appeal.

EastTN. Who do you think will be the starting five next year? Also, who will back them up?

[EastTNG8TR]

Who I would start and who I think will start are probably different.... my guess at who will start and first off the bench to back them up though...

1. Jaterra Bonds, Cassie Peoples
2. Carlie Needles, Chandler Cooper
3. Kayla Lewis, Antoinette Bannister
4. Ronni Williams, Sydney Moss
5. Vicky McIntyre, Viktorija Dimaite

The lineup is very versatile though next year..... several players can play in different spots and there is an odd scenario that newer and younger players may be more than the veteran returning starters.

By the way, for those that don't know Vicky's story and why I was happy for her tonight, here is a gatorzone article on it.

I was cheering from my living room after every block and rebound she got tonight.

A little bit of news of interest....per her Twitter, Ieshia Small is headed to Gainesville tonight for a ballgame (packing too so assuming she is staying all night). Jaterra Bonds is headed to watch her play, and I bet Butler will as well. I know she has a lot of interaction with Bonds on Twitter. I am guessing there is a good chance she will be at the game tomorrow. UF wasn't one of the schools listed often with her, but with her waiting til Spring, UF's recent big time Floridian additions (Williams and Bannister), and Rutgers not looking good this year.....a big W with a good crowd could get UF a closer look from her....Top 20 player for 2013.

top 20? that's impressive! exciting!

who have been the top recruits that have come to UF in the past? who was the highest ranked player?

[EastTNG8TR]

Hard to say....womens recruiting going back wasn't followed like mens. I would guess Milton-Jones, Paige, and Hayden are among the top of the list though.

Here is the list of top 60 players we've signed out of high school per BlueStar which has been around since the early '90s (obviously some of the other services had some of these players higher or lower, but this gives a rough idea):

#11 Tonya Washington ('96)
#17 Murriel Page ('94)
#21 Brandi McCain ('98) - IIRC top 5 nationally before tearing her ACL in HS
#26 Ronni Williams ('13)
#27 Tamara Stocks ('97)
#29 Vanessa Hayden ('00)
#30 Marshae Dotson ('05)
#35 Kayla Lewis ('10)
#36 Tishona Gregory ('01)
#38 Jessica Jackson ('05) - transferred to Memphis after 2 years with Bullard
#39 Sarah Lowe ('02)
#42 Chandler Cooper ('12)
#46 Bernice Mosby ('02) - transferred to Baylor after 3 years
#48 Latoya Bullard ('05) - transferred to Memphis after 2 years with Jackson
#50 Dalila Eshe ('02)
#52 Sydney Moss ('12)
#52 Briana Phillips ('03)
#53 Antoinette Howard ('07) - de-commited when Peck was fired
#58 January Miller ('12)
#60 Brittany Davis ('02) - current UF WBB radio analyst

Interestingly, they did not rank Milton. Maybe she was under the radar in South GA?

Bolded are players who will be on next year's roster. Also worth noting that our transfers who will be eligible next year, Peoples and Bannister, were rated 47 and 39 respectively by this service. So we'll have at least 7 top 60 players on the roster (6 of them underclassmen) - we should indeed be pretty good!

Future sure is bright, thanks for the list.
