At One Point We Did. Then Alli Campbell Started Growing

...a lot. From 5'9" to some 6'1" Would you like to guess how tall Ms. Parrish is? Yup, 6'0" to 6'1".

ND knew of Parrish from a very early time and she's come to camps at ND and ND followed her in AAU and early high school. And, yes, she came to Recruitapalooza. However, they decided to go in different directions awhile back: ND stopped attending Parrish games and the Irish dropped off her social media. This is around the time Alli started making serious inroads and she committed early.

And we still may go after another wing: the 6'2" Maddie Westbeld, who is keeping a very low profile compared to, say, Parrish. I actually think this is interesting for the Irish.

BTW, my only concern for the Irish surrounding Parrish going to Oregon was this enthusiastic tweet from Caitlin Clark, who herself is being pursued by the Ducks.

I'll stay upbeat on that front and hope Muffet and Matt McGraw spend a lot of evaluation periods in the front row of Caitlin's games. And, of course, let's get her to ND for an OV.

Let's go Irish!




I'm not sure what the coaches are thinking.

But Deja Kelly can create her own shot and create shots for others. Something that Arike and Jackie did and that Anya can do. I don't believe that her and Clark are mutually exclusive. I continue to believe they may sign 5-6 players for 2020. Also look for some rankings to change after this summer. Some act as though that stuff is set in stone.

Agree With the Change in Rankings View....

I simply can't see Alli Campbell, with winning her second straight state title, does not move up a bit.

Have not thought of Clark or Kelly as being mutually exclusive: Clark can also create her own shot, both off the drive and the pull-up/step-back.
Have read much the same about Kelly, who did very well in her one year at Duncanville (MVP of the squad).

Beginning to believe it may be in the squad's and coaches' best interest to go for a larger class...playing these tight margins has got to catch up to you, one way or another.
