Thoughts on 2019, 2020

Having taken in a lot of information/opinions on these players here and on other boards, here's a gut reaction as of early May. Will rate by year, because the 2019 cycle will have an impact on 2020. Also, these multiple tête-à-têtes tend to take on lives of their own, so I completely reserve judgement to change what I'm looking at (primarily because they'll probably determine themselves anyway!)

2019
- Haley Jones (wing): 5. Eh: Lots of competition. Will she leave West Coast. Her HS coach is a US National Team vet. Ah: Seems like she'd do well in basketball system, at ND.
- Aliyah Boston (low post): 6. Eh. Don't even know her finalists. UConn is local. Louisville is chasing. Ah: Sam Brunelle. Seems like a natch matchup with Coach Owens.
- Laeticia Amihere: (forward). 3. Eh: Huge finalist list.who knows? How is recovery of ACL/MCL going? Ah: Why not -- she's the Black Queen!

- Sydnee Roby (low post). Probably only in play if Boston or Amihere don't come. If so, 6. Could use a banger to be with Mik Vaughn.
- Fran Belibi (forward). 5. Lots of variables here (Jones, Amihere), not to mention Stanford.

2020

- Paige Bueckers: 7. It would've been 8 if Lindsay Whelan hadn't taken the Minnesota position. Obviously Sam Brunelle connection, but just think she'd thrive here.
- Caitlin Clark: 6. How many trained point guards can you have on a team?
Ah: Something about Clark says she'd be in charge regardless of what you brand her position. Eh: While ND-Clark would seem to be a natural pairing, it seems pretty low key. Then again, maybe that's all that is needed.
- Natalija Marshall: 7. This just seems right and tight: Strong mutual interest.
- Mady Westbeld: Totally depends on Jones. If Jones comes: 0. If not, 6.
Unlike Kat, Mady is a wing.
- Sydney Parrish: Think this is similar to Westbeld--Jones decision is key. Great player but do you go with the family you know (Westbeld?) For now, 4.
- Ali Campbell: 2. Not as high on guard pecking order, particularly when you factor in Ms. Fudd in 2021.
- Kylee Watson: 2. Not so much wondering about her interest in ND, as the other way around.
