How can UCLA get quality guard after quality guard and we can't recruit guards worth a crap. That's the missing piece for us. I'll feel better if Nivar picks Stanford. If not, just another disappointment. We've had so many misses with guards, it's hard to even remember them all. 

Wait, I thought Hulk told us to book Kiki?  (I swear, whenever that guy says "A is a lock," my immediate reaction is "A ain't happening.").

And some of the posts in this thread - no need to specify - are a little too elitist/sour grape-ish.
UCLA is a great school and Rice will thrive there.  Maybe the Bruins will be firs women's team to cut down the nets with a 4 guard lineup.  The way the Warriors revolutionized the men's pro game (which is trickling down everywhere), it would not surprise me.

This is one of those rare occasions when I agree with Teejers.  UCLA is a great school, and Rice may find it a better fit for her talents.  I am just as disappointed as anyone, but let’s give our elitism a rest, OK?  As for Hulk, this is the guy who said the Lopez twins were a couple of stiffs who would never make it in the NBA.  LMAO.

I had no way to assess the Lopez twins.  I don't follow men's basketball
and only started following the women last season.

Welcome to following WBB. You're in for a great ride. And to start it with a season that ended in a national championship -- what a way to begin. We did it the same way, except that our first season as dedicated fans was 1989-90, which ended in the 1st natty. We went to Knoxville for the game. What an experience.

And BTW, for any of you who are wondering, and someone needs to clarify this for our wonderful announcer (who really is wonderful), the FIRST season when there were season tickets was that 1989-90 season. I know this  because we got them, and selected our seats which we've had ever since. The deal was that if you went to the 1st open practice that season, you could select your season ticket seats. So . . . , when she asks, how many people have been season ticket holders for 35 years, as she did at the open practice last week, the answer is 0 -- even if a couple of people did hold up their hands.
