UCLA the next NCAA Champion?

Honestly, I was fairly disappointed in UCLA last year.

They had a lot of problems.

But in 2009 they look like the big name team with the best potential for the future. Rookies going 1-2-3 in the All-around against Cal. Amazing.

A trio of freshmen led the way for the Bruins, sweeping the all-around standings with a 1-2-3 finish. Aisha Gerber totaled a career-high 39.55, UCLA’s highest all-around mark so far this season, to capture her first all-around win. Vanessa Zamarripa was not far behind, scoring a career-best 39.5 to place second. In third place was Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs, who scored 39.45. …

Two are Canadian. And everyone remembers what Canadians Kate Richardson and Yvonne Tousek did for UCLA in the past.

Only a fool would bet against Georgia in the NCAA Championships 2009. If Courtney Kupets is healthy, they will win.

But for 2010 … my early pick is the UCLA Bruins.
