Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4117853, member: 2117"] Second coming may be a stretch but her teams have gotten better and better over her time at SC. Back in 2014 everyone called SC a pretender for getting the #1 seed somewhat controversially, and from there she's steadily improved the program into a national power. I dont see anyone claiming that Dawn is going to go on and break Geno's records or surpass him at an all time level, but people do believe she could take over the role as having the dominant program in women's basketball. Historically only Pat Summitt has been able to recruit at a comparable level to Geno but now Dawn is on a recruiting tear with loaded rosters projected for the next several seasons that are comparable to Geno's. In the first matchup this year, Dawn got the better of Geno with relatively equal rosters. Time will tell if she can take her program to the next level of being the perennial title favorite. Boston could win 2 or 3 titles potentially if she stays a 5th year, but realistically I don't expect her to since she should be a top pick in the 2023 draft. Her first year SC and Oregon were the very heavy title favorites entering the NCAAs but then covid happened so it's hard to hold 2020 against her since there has only been 1 NCAA tournament in her 2 seasons.
