------------------------------------------------

While I agree with the ranking, two straight second round exits and not a great finish last year, I do have a problem with the All-America teams. Where's Crystal on this list? She has to be better than the Covington girl. I guess it will just be another year of Maryland players being overlooked despite the fact that they are better than most players. Hopefully this is the only publication to make this mistake.

Two noticeable omissions: anyone from Tennessee and Ivory Latta.

Your Terps will be good this year. I like Shay Doron a lot (even though we're Minnesota fans and we're supposed to resent you for stealing "our" coach).

You should look at your site in Firefox when you get the chance-- the columns don't align (at least not on a Mac).

Will you cover the Mystics next summer, or are you waiting till somebody drafts a Terp to start covering the W?

Anyway, keep it up...
