Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 4280416, member: 9403"] On the topic of recruiting and competing with Dawn, this [URL='https://www.slamonline.com/the-magazine/south-carolina-slam-237/']Slam[/URL] article from a few weeks ago was a great read. Dawn is a uniquely charismatic woman and it's obvious why 17-year-old WBB players are drawn to her. That she has succeeded at the highest levels as a player has to be so appealing to recruits who aspire to play pro. Geno can't offer that. Nor can Tara, Walz, or Graves. Mulkey can, but her pro experience feels like from the time when dinosaurs roamed the earth since there basically was no pro opportunities. To me, the most interesting potential competition for Dawn would be Lawson at Duke and Ivey at Notre Dame, because they too have experienced it all as players and can pitch that model of mentoring through lived experience. And I suspect that's what draws people to the possibility of a potential Bird or DT coach. [/QUOTE]
