Syracuse, N.Y. -- The proof of Syracuse women's basketball coach Quentin Hillsman's elite talent as a salesman is boldly splashed across his roster.
Hillsman has again recruited one of the nation's top-ranked incoming classes to blend with the return of all five starters from last year and create what could be his deepest and most versatile team ever.
Now, Hillsman has another sales pitch all worked up, one that could go a long ways toward determining to what extent the Orange fulfills its massive potential. On a team that could legitimately field two high-quality starting fives, Hillsman must get his players to buy in on the notion that it's not all that important who starts.
