..with assistant coaches. In fact, one (or more) is usually assigned to a prospect (seems like Beth was with Sam Brunelle).
So maybe whomever is in contact with Paige B. decided to drop by.
Or maybe the assistant coach came out the first time to do some reconnaissance.
Don't see it as a slight by any means. Besides, I very much seem to recall from posts on the Boneyard that Geno's been out to her hometown and has seen numerous of her AAU games. He's interested, as is Muffet.
Whelan has some catching up to do.
She is a high priority recruit for UConn just as she seems to be for ND........her playing style is a perfect fit for the Huskies motion offense
...to see Paige B: they just might've taken place outside of the gym that her HS coach was referring to.
She would fit in with UConn's motion offense. Of course, the modified Princeton offense that Notre Dame runs is also based on motion and ball movement, plus puts an emphasis on the transition: all things that Paige excels in.
It's no surprise that ND and UConn are both pursuing her services. Have no doubt Lindsay Whalen will join the fray, as well.
Minnesota might have been a good first stop before taking over at ND.........big enough to lure some talent but not a high pressure situation where expectations would be unrealistic......
