..to show that I've got nothing against certain top names and bring up that I, too, believe Niele should call and kick the proverbial tires of certain well-known names.

If the Irish can get Kiki, I'll be high-fiving the mailman Timea Gardiner? Let it rip. (However, I can see her going to Utah to take Alisa Pili's place).

And, yes, I do think Iriafen can be part of a perfect three-person rotation with Kate Koval and Maddy Westbeld (if she's back) and/or Liza Karlen, if she comes, too.

However, right below #1 is #1and those can be a bit more fungible for the team-building that Niele has in front of her.

On that note, let's see what happens....


I thought your original point was clear

I don't think you or anyone else suggested not to pursue top players. Especially now, when they have a chance to make a very deep run. I personally would like to see ND get at least one top frontcourt player that can ease Koval's transition to CBB. Additionally, they need more bodies here for obvious reasons - foul trouble, injuries, etc.

Transfer portal business is much like speed dating - if one side is not feeling the connection or prefers to be elsewhere, you have to move on to the next transfer target, promptly. If the next target is not as well-known but the coaches believe can provide similar results, then so be it.

Hopefully, the coaching staff has a well-organized plan and can execute it.


Got It...And Agree.

Need to go to plan 1A or 2 Quickly. Also agree that the most important piece of this year's puzzle is a post that can work with Kate Koval.
(Dang that injury to Kylee Watson: she looked like she was going to stay next year.)
