Lawson grabbed 7 in the portal last year to fill out the roster.  All 3 of our posts last year graduated, so she picked up 3 posts in the portal (plus a wing) this year.  Barring transfers, we will have 9 returning players and 3 incoming freshman.  With 3 open scholarships available, we will need to pick up at least one post, and hopefully a 3pt shooter in the portal.  So next season, for the first time, most of the players on the roster will be players that Lawson recruited.

Actually Lawson has done pretty good on the recruiting trail.   She was hired in July of 2020, so it was already too late to make inroads among the top players in the 2021 class.   Volker was the early recruit, and Day-Wilson came along after she decommitted from Syracuse after their coach resigned.  This year's class was a top 11 recruiting class according to ESPN.  Jackson was a top 20 kid... Bolin a top 40 kid, and Koabel was a top Canadian Player.  Next year's class is rated #6 according to ESPN with the #3, 27, and 29th ranked players.    So she started off slowly, but is recruiting better each season.  :)
