[Dillon77]

It is VERY difficult to get comfortable in first class what with all that noise from the folks in steerage. I just HATE when the private plane is in the shop.

Yeah, the heck with the curtain...Where are the sound-proof sliding doors being put in?

Doors? Concrete wall preferred.

I don't like the fact that greedy ND was suddenly added to Jones finalist list 😠 I expect Francis will go the greedy FSU. Lampley to LSU ?

Yes.

 

[Stronga12]

Most of Olivia Jones latest Instagram follows are related to Vanderbilt...seems like that will be her choice.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

It's quite the opposite, actually, Rooster: ND and Jones were in mutual contact early on, when Jones' former HS teammate, Kate Koval, was still enjoying the shine of the Golden Dome. They somewhat surprisingly stayed on Jones' radar but were clearly not on her "podium" of serious finalists. We'd heard nothing but Vandy or Miami recently, so the announcement of Vandy wasn't a surprise.

The Irish effort towards procuring a guard is primarily (if not solely) geared towards Jenica Lewis, with whom the Irish have had a long relationship. Who knows what the Iowa native will do? She's probably under intense (both self-generated and certainly by Iowa fans and influencers) to stay local. On the other and hand, she's had a mutual interest with ND/Coach Ivey for many years. As my Bench colleague says, there could be two old chestnuts in play here:

• Go with the last recruiting visit, which traditionally goes to either the favorite and/or local team.
• If the magic isn't there, go with the team, you've been interested in the longest.

IMHO, it will come down to Iowa or ND.

Bummer . She had Marquette as a finalist.

Notre Dame and Iowa fans paying hard attention to this announcement. Lewis, of course, is an Iowa resident, but she and Notre Dame have long had a "Mutual interest" (a phrase Muffet McGraw once used, that I liked and continue to use) in each other. Lewis took an OV to Notre Dame not too long ago.

Notre Dame is going to be really, really interesting to watch next year. They’ll have a top-3 player in Hidalgo, a likely top-2 recruiting class, and almost nothing in between.

Point taken (with Koval in LSU this year). Regarding the "almost":

• It's early in the season, but KK Bransford is back for this season and is a solid contributor. Don't know if Cass Prosper will stick or choose to leave for the draft, but if she stays, she's a valuable tweener.
• Perhaps most importantly, Leah Macy might not play this year, so she'll be a member of that incoming class (from an athletic eligibility point of view).

But, yes, it will be really interesting and the Irish are in a much better place than they were a few months ago, for sure.

Ah, thanks. For some reason I thought Bransford and Prosper were seniors. If both are back, ND should have a good chance to capitalize on getting to a Final Four with Hidalgo. They need a center though.

Assume the center position will be the focus of the transfer portal in the spring of 2026.

Bransford and Prosper both have medical years to consider using (or not). I'm guessing Prosper is a coin flip depending on how things go this year, while I'm certain Bransford will play for this year and next.
