UPDATE:
Samantha Peszek has made an early verbal declaration to compete for UCLA. There’s nothing official on their website, however, as I write.
Sources say she will — if she eventually signs — not compete next season, but rather the year after.
Add powerhouse Peszek to the UCLA line-up. And look out at Championships 2011.

More talented than Kate Richardson? Yvonne Tousek? More talented than their own Freshman of the Year Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs?
Wow!

Alabama?
Utah?
My guess is UCLA. The Bruins have a young talented team that could easily challenge Georgia even next season.
