Not a lot of analysis went into this prediction IMO.........I think they'll be better than 24.

Agreed -- some sloppy stuff in there: "Angel Procaccio"?. Is Sheila Reid really still an assistant coach? Siofra C-B not in "Probable Top Five"? I wouldn't give this ranking/analysis much credence. One thing is correct, though: a lot hinges on Angel Piccirillo.

Also, it doesn't mention Kelsey Margey at all. In my opinion, she's the biggest wildcard on the entire team.

Another talking head ...

Lots of question marks - including Margey.. XC roster for 2014 hasn't even been posted yet.

Julie Williams is probably a better bet than Jaskot.

Any chance the under-performing seniors - Venables, Chapman, Burroughs, Tucker - might show up ...???

2014 hasn't even been posted yet.

I looked at a few programs. Some have rosters up,some don't . Fr. Tess Barrett is listed at PSU in spite of the recent coaching change. It wouldn't surprise me to see a few notable transfers right before school starts. A few from the Ivy League maybe.

Or1on, expand on your thoughts about transfers... Do any of these possible transfers affect Villanova?

Do any of these possible transfers affect Villanova?

I don't think so? Though I would have checked a few of them out. Certainly 2ks Rachel Sorna (Cornell) if she has CC elig. remaining and Jr Wes Gallagher if he's leaving? I checked NU roster and he's off.

Others I heard are on the move were John Gregorek (Col to UO) Bri Nerud (Syra-UO) Wavey Neer (Col to UO) Gallagher (Northeastern - ?)
