I think Aston is underrated with player development.  On the current roster you have:

Brooke McCarty-she's developed into one of the top PGs in the nation
Ariel Atkins-she's come a LONG way after an underwhelming start to her career.  Yes she was highly rated, but she's made huge strdies.
Lashann Higgs-same situation as Atkins.  Massive strides the last 2 seasons.
Jatarie White-she looks light years better than she did as a freshman and sophomore at SC.

She has quite a crop of underclassmen (Joyner Holmes, Alecia Sutton, Patterson, and Boothe) so it remains to be seen how they do, but the potential is sky high.

I am particularly interested in seeing how Boothe develops.  I think she has more upside than anyone in the 2017 class but is a bit of a wild child on the court.  If she can slim down and improve her shot selection and decision making, she could be an impossible matchup.  Very strong 6-3 forward with good handles, great hands, extremely quick and has inside out ability....I don't know if we've seen a player like her before.  If she and Holmes make strides in the off season, their battles with Cox/Brown will be epic next year.
