I found it really interesting that Dave O'Brien and Doris Burke kept pushing the storyline about who ND had returning and next season's recruiting class, without saying a thing about the Huskies. They kept intimating that ND will have everyone back next season and has 3 HS all-american recruits that that fact alone would somehow change the perceived outcome of games. UConn returns 4 starters from a NC team that is 37-1 last season. 2 of those starters are All-Americans and a third should have been. They also bring in 3 of the top 15 HS Players in the nation, including the #1 player in the country as well as Natalie Butler, who was Big East Freshman of the Year. Kia Nurse, Gabby Williams, and Courtney Ekmark will be sophomores with another year of experience. Saniya Chong. who improved markedly will be a junior. Even with the loss of the greatest 3-point shooter in WCBB History and the best Shot Blocker in program history, the Huskies should be okay, too. Napheesia Collier has been tremendous and might be the most impactful player in the class next season. KLS's talent is obvious and should translate well to the college game you can't coach her ability to shoot the ball, I question her durability, DJB reminds me of Morgan Tuck but a bit smaller. ND will be better for sure next season, but so will UConn. You can't predict what will happen because of the variables involved in a long tough season, but based on what I see now, in the words of the greatest Rock Band ever; "The Song Remains the Same."
