I think pretty much every coach takes whatever talent they can get their hands on. Waltz was making do with a lot of good mid-ranked recruits, he had some success and got a few high ranked players, but he still seems to be mentally stuck in that 'scattershot' mid-level mentality. But look at Tara's roster, or Kim, or SC they are not afraid to recruit 'over' a player already on the team, or grab a transfer or two on top of their own recruits.
I guess Waltz does stand out as being less selective in his recruiting than most of the coaches at his level of success, but what coach isn't going to accept Hailey Van Lith even though he has another PG on his roster already?
I would say Dawn has done very little recruiting over incumbent starters.
It's actually pretty darn hard for a starter to lose a job in Dawn's program even if they lose a lot of minutes.
Davis and Gray replaced graduating seniors. Jennings stepped in for Coates after Jatarie White transferred.
Then you had Littleton, Spann, and the Clemson transfer whose name I can't quite (Ed. Nelly Perry!) come up with who were mostly added for depth.
I'd guess that South Carolina will sit out transfer season, but a bold move would be to try and find a wing shooter that could play near starter minutes.
I kind of doubt that she'd want to introduce that element of chaos to a delicate playing time situation as it is.
You probably don't want any of those freshmen only getting garbage minutes. And you've got two incumbent starters that you don't want to lose their heads.
