Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3804615, member: 7492"] For the most part MM failed to capitalize as her style was/is grating even on her own players, never mind the viewing public. Her plethora of top transfers out these past few years was a tad shocking to me considering at least half were getting playing time. The 2019 class was headlined by Sam Brunelle, who thus far in her 1.5 years of a career has been more ACC announcer sizzle (ahem, Deb Antonelli) that production substance. Aniya People's is a role player on a Top 25 team but "star" on this team. So I am even dubious on this being a "good" class. The 2020 class actually does have a great player in Maddie Westbeld who is probably the 3rd best Freshman in the Country behind Clark and Bueckers and ahead of VanLith, Brink, Cardoso, Paopao to name a few. The rest of this 2020 class, again is at best "good" but with Westbeld being great, maybe that elevates the class. The narrative that Niele Ivey inherited a top talent team is questionable despite what the McDonald's numbers indicate. Still a bit too soon on the 2020 class as someone else may or should step forward for this team. [/QUOTE]
