    Non-UConn Recruiting Information

    I think this high school should correct coach Moore's collegiate affiliation. Not even @triaddukefan would confuse UNC with NC St.

    WNBA Rookie of the year

    Collier has other options on her team, while Arike's options are limited. Collier has 2 other teammates who were voted into the All-Star game this season (Fowles and Sims). Arike has no All Stars on her team. As a team Dallas has shot 38.9% this season. Arike has shot 38.6% this season, and...

    That's a great point, but Blue Star has her ranked 9th! But I agree with you that I see nothing wrong with her list.

    So, with Geno as #1 WCBB Coach...

    I agree that it's just how you look at this, but you're so, so much closer to wrong than right on this. I get that you hate Muffet, but how can you have her as the 7th best current coach (behind Vic, Graves, Walz and Blair)? What criteria are you including? For example, have you looked at...

    Thoughts on upcoming season

    Notre Dame has applied for a waiver once and received it (Shepard). UConn has applied for a waiver once and is awaiting the NCAA decision (Westbrook). If the NCAA approves Westbrook's waiver (which I expect and see as fair), will posters here then include UConn (along with Notre Dame) when...

    2) Their bones are solid. While that allows them to dive in water very effectively, it makes taking off very challenging. I worked in the Experimental Lakes Area in Canada (a little north of Lake Superior) for 3 summers, and once I saw a loon make three loops around a lake (after it became...

    Grad Transfer Evelyn Adebayo commits to UConn

    Very true. And Notre Dame just picked up a grad transfer this spring (Destinee Walker) who has 2 years of eligibility (or at least has only used 2 years of eligibility thus far).

    Hoopgurlz Master Rankings: Class of 2019

    I can see why you think that, because you are not using the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet. It shows different rankings in time. What a fun look at the evolution of the HG rankings for the 2019 class. Great job @DaBball!

    UConn Transfer rate

    Didn't Samarie Walker start for a decent Kentucky team? Dani has started only one game at ND and that was due to injury. Reimier started for a Michigan St. team that was decent (not top 25) but not because of Taya's contributions. Patberg was injured at ND and hadn't yet shown anything when...

    UConn Transfer rate

    I did an analysis of Notre Dame for the same time span and and the Irish have a far lower transfer rate. 2009: 0 out of 2 (Diggins, K Turner) 2010: 0 out of 3 (McBride, Braker, Achonwa) 2011: 0 out of 3 (Cable, Holloway, Wright) 2012: 0 out of 3 (Loyd, Mabrey, Huffman) 2013: 1 out of 4 (Reimer...

    Mikayla Coombs to Transfer

    Taylor Rooks fits into that time frame. She attended Stanford as a freshman in Brittany McPhee's class, then transferred to Harvard, and then this past year played as a grad transfer for Michigan. LINK

    How will Notre Dame, UConn, Oregon and Baylor look a year from now?

    I'm not sure why this article made it to this board so late, but it is dated April 3rd which was the Wednesday before before the final four. So at that time, Notre Dame was the defending champ preparing to face the Huskies in 2 days in Tampa.

    Non-UConn Recruiting Information

    I know she wasn't ranked because she's an Aussie, but Goodchild looks like a great find. She had a very nice freshman year. That lessens the loss of Craig, although they are different types of guards.

    Preseason Top 15

    I'm a little more bullish on the Irish's fortunes than @Orangutan, but not as confident as @bballnut90. If Jackie returns, the Irish should be top 10. Muffet will figure out the puzzle. If Young doesn't return, then Muffet may lack the pieces necessary to complete the puzzle, so ND is 11-20...

    I Ain't Worried

    Massey's Rating places more emphasis on record than margin of victory and strength of schedule. But Massey's Power Rating primarily emphasizes margin of victory. Massey uses the Power Rating to make his predictions because it's more accurate than using the Rating. Notre Dame is second in...

    Irish up by only 3

    I don't think I undermined my point. My point was that the fouls were pretty even despite the home court advantage. Any difference in fouls could have been easily explained by the difference in paint points and 3-pt shots. As another example of the these logical fallacies, posters were once...

    Irish up by only 3

    By reading these comments one might think that the officiating was biased tremendously in favor of Notre Dame, but a dispassionate analysis of the stats do not bear that out. 1. Total fouls: A&M: 17 ND: 12 But remember that A&M intentionally fouled ND twice in the last 30 seconds of the game...

    @Ralph, your predicament reminds me of an email that was circulating a year ago: My cousin has 2 tickets for the 2018 SUPER BOWL, both box seats. He paid $2,500 for each ticket, but he didn't realize last year when he bought them, it was going to be the same day as his wedding. If you know...

    That article is very interesting and I think the NCAA will find it interesting as well. As a Notre Dame fan who appreciates adherence to the rules, I have already sent them a copy of this video clip. I have one question: when is Geno going to stop interacting with underage recruits? I really...

    2 Seed Discussion on ATH Today

    I am replying specifically to your passage that I have underlined above. I believe that you are cherry-picking data that supports your argument in each instance, but are not being consistent. For example, you condemn Notre Dame for losing to teams that they should not have have lost to, but...

    Espnw player of the year

    While we are on the topic of POY, I have no problem with Gustafson's selection. She has had a ridiculously successful year. But moving on to the topic of next year's POY, the early front-runners might be Sabrina Ionescu and Jackie Young. Of course either one may declare for the upcoming...

    Battle for #1 Seeds

    Tonyc, wasn't KLS only on the bench for the last 3.5 games? Do you think that UConn's performance in their last 4 games (10 point win @USF to finish regular season and then 3-game sweep through AAC tournament) is that much more impressive than Notre Dame or Stanford's performance over that time...

    All Americans??

    Effective FG% may make Lou look like an AA when compared to Arike and Asia, but Lou is not really having a good year based on this stat. Arike is the only starter for Notre Dame that has an effective FG% that is lower than Lou's In fact, KLS is ranked 238th in the NCAA in Effective FG% (LINK)...

    One of these 8 teams will win the championship

    I agree with much of what you wrote, but not all three of the Duck's PAC12 opponents were not ranked. Arizona is 18-13 and 7-11 in the PAC12 and were never ranked in any poll or computer ranking of which I am aware. With the Duck's shallow bench and starter-dominated roster, the NCAA...

    The Top 16

    If that is the case, then they shouldn't make a regional so close to UConn that they are guaranteed to attend that location. Notre Dame is getting 'evicted' from their 'local' regional because it is driving distance to another 1-seed team. When UConn was moved to a 2-seed, they were still...

    The Top 16

    Question: With things as they are (based on the reveal tonight), why does ND have to go out to Portland to play an away game against Oregon if they are higher on the S-curve than UConn? Shouldn't UConn be sent to Oregon for the "away" game against Oregon while ND gets Miss St. in Albany (a...

    You're not at all annoying. Some people were just poking fun at your post because it wasn't really news and it was posted in a thread for news. Maybe if you started a thread on the SEC tournament and posted your opinion they wouldn't have commented on your content at all.
