Ah, there's nothing more fun than picking the Top 25 for next season … when next season is seven months away. What a great way to get more, "You're an idiot!" e-mails.
These are Mechelle's picks from the Pac-10:
9. Arizona State: Coach Charli Turner Thorne was very upbeat after the Sun Devils' loss in the Elite Eight, despite the three seniors who depart. That's because ASU will be big and athletic inside next season as 6-foot-3 transfers Sybil Dosty (Tennessee) and Lauren Lacey (Minnesota) are eligible. And guard Dymond Simon will return from a knee injury that cut short her rookie season.
11. Stanford: Brooke Smith and Kristen Newlin move on, but Candice Wiggins is back to lead a talented team that hopes to avoid any more injuries to its point guards for a while.
21. California: The post combo of Pac-10 player of the year Ashley Walker and Devanei Hampton is back, and Alexis Gray-Lawson is expected back after a knee injury that sidelined her in December. What's uncertain is whether coach Joanne Boyle will return or take over at Duke.
