We should always be cautious about defensive expectations. Many folks were talking about BB being likely to garner significant time because she was great defender. It turned out to be an area where she struggled at times last year.

Are you getting defensive?

You're right--Brianna's defensive posture and quickness are great, but she let the offensive player get by her too readily.

From the videos I have seen of Jefferson (the two all star games and some others) you described her game perfectly with your Banks comment.

The coaching staff will work on that with her, but she did struggle keeping players in front of her.

It's logical that these kids have trouble staying in front of the competition defensively as they step up in competition. They have to make adjustments at every level as they move up.

Excellent point.

Very true. At the next level the quality of competition steps up everywhere.

One thing stuck out from the article to me, was that the 3 Amigos all displayed a level of maturity and calmness, with the ability to dial it up when it was necessary.

In that regard, they remind me of the 2002 class--very calm and workman-like.

I am reminded of the 69-70 NY Knick's players...no show, just go.

MoJeff is pretty showy! In a good way...those youtube videos of her ballhandling are amazing.

Has anybody pointed out that 3 Notre Dame commits made the two teams and Notre Dame just happened to have 2 votes on the committee- Asst. Coach Beth Cunningham and former NDer Coquese Washington?

Did they both actually have votes? Cunningham was "players representative" or something like that so she may not have had a vote.

Yep, a great team.
