NICE ARTICLE ... about a good H.C. and a team to challenge
Creighton in the BIG EAST (?). I predict the "Eagles" will
be "GOLDEN". No disagreements I assume!!!
 
I do not see this as an anomaly.
Bottom line is that star women’s collegiate basketball players want to be on the biggest stages, competing for championships, and improving their stock moving forward to the pro ranks. So, one needs to decide for themselves whether any of those three criteria can be met at Marquette or any school in the Big East with the exception of UConn.
I think Marquette is in a sort of sweet spot. Great university, good coaching, solid facilities. Good enough to hold onto a nucleus of players, but not good enough to attract top recruits or top players in the portal. Great landing spot for a second tier recruit. (Forbes) Is Marquette the newest version of Creighton. Creighton lost everyone after their six years of commendable performance. This Marquette squad will graduate more than half of their roster after this year. Will be interesting to see if Skylar Forbes stays for her senior year. If she breaks out, maybe not, like Serah or Kaitlyn.
Lucy Olsen- portal to Iowa from Nova, Aneesah Morrow- portal to LSU from DePaul.
 
I wouldn't write-off Creighton just yet, FS17. Great coach, great fan base, a program that is attractive to a certain type of team-focused player. They are very young, but in the era of the transfer portal where many teams have to remake their identity from one year to the next, if anyone can get a group of non-NIL focused midwestern ladies quickly playing tough defense while spreading the floor, it's Jim Flanery. We shall see how they compete.
