Welcome back to Good Follow Show.

Today's episode is presented by DraftKings.

I'm Roz.

She is Autumn Johnson and is a great analyst covering women's college basketball as we continue on with our women's college basketball preview show.

There's so many teams to talk about, but we are still at the other two teams we haven't even talked about from last season's final four.

That would be UCLA and Texas and where they're going this season.

And for UCLA, personally, Autumn,

Oh, yeah.

Absolutely.

To be in the Final Four, there's almost a skill set to that as well, and UConn's experience there showed.

It was the first time ever that UCLA had ever been to the Final Four.

And coming into this season, there's a lot of loss, but it's interesting.

It's all of their freshman class from last year, and then some contributors, London Jones, Janiyah Barker, transfer portal, madness.

But they're stacked with talent, with experience, with veterans.

I'm going to just say the names and then we can get into a discussion.

Lauren Betts is arguably the best player in the country, depending on who you ask, and is the reigning defensive player of the year nationally.

Kiki Rice, Gabriela Jaquez, they add.

Gianna Niepkins, who's been, you know, a longtime great contributor in what was the Pac-12 at Utah coming through the transfer portal.

They add Lauren's sister, Sienna Betts.

Plus they have Angela Dugalich back and healthy Charlize Ledger Walker will be playing for the Bruins this season.
