Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4304450, member: 6620"] OK' That trip out to do errands unexpectedly turned into getting the computer serviced, so I had more time to ponder than expected. Now that the computer is back, I've used it to check into what would be Notre Dame's best recruiting classes. Unless you consider Skylar Diggins and/or Ruth Riley to be so important to ND, their other classmates were good, not great, so I looked elsewhere. Here are three incoming classes that caught my eye: [U]Class of 2010[/U] [LIST] [*]Natalie Achonwa [*]Kayla McBride [*]Ariel Braker [/LIST] No championships, but a mess of Final Fours. Achonwa and K-Mac are still playing pro ball and Braker is an assistant coach at West Virginia. [U]Class of 2014[/U] [LIST] [*]Hannah Huffman [*]Michaela Mabrey [*]Jewell Loyd [/LIST] Once again, a mess of Final Four appearances. Loyd started as a freshman and Michaela started the Mabrey chain that is still ongoing, with she as an assistant coach and sister Dara playing. Loyd has won WNBA, Olympic and World Cup championships. And, Johnson, is the partner of Warrior star Andrew Wiggins. [U]Class of 2015[/U] [LIST] [*]Marina Mabrey [*]Arike Ogunbowale [*]Ali Patberg [*]...and in Nebraska, a center named Jess Shepard enrolled at Nebraska. [/LIST] The ND starting point of this one is pretty darn strong: those are three exceptional collegiate careers. Patberg, of course, left for Indiana and just finished up. And Shepard joined her U.S.A. National teammates her junior year to get to the national championship game twice in two years. Mabrey, Ogunbowale and Sheppard are all still in the WNBA. So, I've got to five a nod to this class, for NCAA accomplishments and still developing pro careers. [/QUOTE]
