.... what are your expectations?
I'm not sure I'm demanding a national championship this season, but I am expecting a Final Four appearance at the very least.
Connecticut, Notre Same, Stanford, Tennessee, Kentucky and perhaps A&M should all be very stout so it's not going to be easy getting there. Possibly UNC, Baylor and Duke as well.
Will we go undefeated during the regular season?
Win the SEC?
I dunno. We're going to be courting, for all practical purposes, the women's NCAA dream team with what we have returning plus a total of four Mickey D's All-Americans.

I'm in the same place as you, Final Four. Anything less would be a little disappointing.

I would agree, Final 4/Elite 8 type season.
WBB was in fact picked to win the SEC. Gamecocks picked to win SEC, Mitchell earns Pre-season POTY

Win the SEC/Final Four...... anything less would be slightly disappointing. Anything more would be great. I wouldn't be surprised if this team did win it all. Dawn has some serious talent... y'all should've seen how the other SEC WBB coaches were raving about the talent at SC during media days. Staley isn't shying from a natty and neither should we...

By the way.... How's recruiting going this year? I don't expect another top-10 class.. mainly because any big recruit is probably gonna be turned off by the amount of talent we already have... But are there any recruits out there that we fans should be keeping our eyes on.. I know we missed out on DeShields and Cooper.

Repeat as SEC Champion, and getting to the FInal 4 are actually reasonable goals for the coaching and talent level we have. We have 2 1st Team All SEC players and we should end up having the SEC FR of the year in Aja. Jatarie White is also very good. Our 2 Deep is going to be awesome, we'll have very high quality depth, which will help a lot in the tournaments.

This, but following the game long enough the post season can be most affected by refs.

If we go undefeated in the regular season then we would be hands down the favorite to win it all... as we play @ UCONN this year. That game will go a long way to telling us how high we should set our goals.
