Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2770832, member: 6620"] Hey Charlie and Coco: Yes, that's the basic thinking I've read/heard regarding ND's approach to all these quality guards. A lot of this depends, at least in my NJ-based, Irish-fan mind is what happens at the wing position. Right now, the Irish have Jackie Young (who is really a guard with hops) playing that position. But I think they want to get bigger there, which is why they're after Haley Jones in a major way. If Ms. Jones does come to ND (no sure thing, as we all know), that means all these guards are really competing for just two positions, as opposed to possibly playing the wing in a smaller-guard approach. If Nixon, Gilbert, Peoples and Prohaska are performing well and they're set at the wing, I could see the Irish being very happy (as anyone would be) with "just" Bueckers or Clark. Can't see both of them wanting to dribble into a potential logjam...anywhere. But if Jones (or someone else in that position) does not come to ND -- I could see the Irish going after a Mady Westbeld, Sydney Parrish or Alli Campbell (now a legit 6' tall) or going after two premier guards and having a three-guard approach as often as possible. Of course, they could be then hold off for a huge push at Azzi Fudd. Fudd, after all, is one of those once-every-decade or so talents that you just pursue and pursue, as I'm sure MM, Geno and Tara (never forget where Azzi's first name came from) will be. Should be interesting on the guard/wing front, for sure. ;) [/QUOTE]
