Sometimes, timing and circumstances are everything:  If Sam Brunelle was an incoming freshman this year, she sure might have trouble getting a lot of playing time with Jess Shepard moving to the high post and Brianna Turner down low.

However, in 2019, circumstances change dramatically and Sam Brunelle, Anaya Peoples and whomever (else?) will constitute the class of 2019 all will have ample opportunity to duke it out with the Class of 2018 (K. Gilbert, J. Nixon, A. Prohaska and D. Cosgrove) for playing time. As Coco pointed out, only Jackie Young will be around from the primary 2018 NC six, so MM will have a chance to rejigger the motion offense in a way to get the best players on the floor to join Ms. Young. I'd bet one of those ND Big Mac's that Mikayla Vaughn is at the low post for rebounding and defensive purposes. Outside of that, game's open.

And once they're on campus, these are the players MM presumably wanted enough to have there, so rankings are irrelevant in the mix (save for the reasons that might've helped the player achieve them. Then again, some folks slip under the radar....).

That will be a fun year to observe.....
