Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2587022, member: 6620"] Kat0189: Good post. I'd be interested in a bit more of your thinking on [COLOR=#00b300]the "lure" not being enough. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]I've written in posts in the past that I thought Brunelle was a UConn lean and I totally get and still understand why. However, having paid attention to Brunelle a bit more over the course of the last few months have made me be, well, a bit more optimistic for considering the Irish. A lot of this has to do with Brunelle herself. She is taking in what she wants to and then making decisions. As you noted, she did this once with Stanford and then, saying "thanks but no thanks" to Louisville after visiting. As for ND: She was part of the large group that went to ND and has been spotted in ND wear. That's probably part of the grand tour for folks like she and Paige B, but she did enjoy it. What's more of an interest to me is her active participation with ND-related social media and folks that pop up on them. Hoops-wise, I'm on record as saying she'd do well working in either Geno's or MM's motion offense. However, the more I watch Shepard, Nelson and Westbeld move the ball to each other and/to from the guards as the season progresses, I can see Sam B. fitting in, taking that to another level, and, putting her own imprint on it.

I thought Erin had a good frosh year and she was the "finisher" in whatever happened. What this version of offense does is emphasize all aspects and talents of the offensive tool kit of each player (to varying degrees). Brunelle could excel at all of them....for some reason, I think this would appeal to her tremendously. Heck, while it's not early in the process, there's still some more day breaks ahead. Onwards and upwards. :cool: ;) [/QUOTE]
