Any questions for Muffet?

Why does your hubby want to get in on photos & interviews?

I can't think of another spouse in women's or men's basketball that does this.

Just a pet peeve.

I'm OK with Matt - shows genuine affection for Muffet & ND

And the team seems to like him around.

Journalists find him, he doesn’t seek them out.

Such a petty question.

He's our Drake..... *

He absolutely is not “our Drake” or any kind of Drake. *

maybe consider a sense of humor? *

Not when you’re comparing Matt McGraw to Drake. *

He's two letters away from Drake - a "C" and an "L"

Drake = ass
Matt McGraw = class

Follow up: Where can I get one of those cool green hats? *

Have they ever considered recruiting preferred walk-ons? *

Ask about leadership in 2018-19

You had a group of starters who were peers with Kathryn Westbeld as the team leader during the championship season. It's really difficult for someone to emerge as a leader after being an equal voice for several years.

Did one of your 2018-19 starters emerge as the team leader, or was there a different dynamic this past season? Describe how it unfolded.

I'm certain that will get a lengthy and interesting answer.

If Possible Here is My Question. Not Recruiting Oriented

Is this the youngest team you have had to enter a season. And do you change
up your approach very differently, medium, or slightly to get the players
ready for the season.

...P.S. How are we looking health wise and how is Jordan doing.

SEG/Chief

Well, if you factor in the grad transfers

There are some if you factor in next year's grad transfers.

The 2002 team had 6 freshmen, but it also had a senior Ericka Haney and junior Alicia Ratay (and I think Barksdale was still at ND as a junior, too).

The 1998 ND team had senior Mollie Peirick plus junior Sheila McMillen, but I think everyone else was either a sophomore or freshman.

Knee injuries in WBB

Is there any research going on or changes to training that may reduce the number of knee injuries in women's BB?

I have a question for you

how did you get Muffet?

my understanding is that she does 1 club a year. as such, she is much harder to get than Kelly.

MM visit

NB- What is your ALumni Club We (Dallas) are jealous!

For all of us WBB fans: Will the ladies practice on FB weekends, when, open to the public?

Recruiting/Retention Questions

1) One sees more and more transfers taking place in WCBB these days. What does MM attribute the increase to?
-- How does this, if at all, affect the way she and Niele plan and put a squad together?

2) To the best of our knowledge, Natalie Achonwa is the only "international" player you've had at Notre Dame ...and she's all the way from Ontario.
Many of your competitors have used international players with success.

Will you consider recruiting international players?
-- If no, why not?
-- If considering, how would you go about it?

The second one (internatinal recruiting) could be very interesting....

Another recruiting question.

I am interested to know her thoughts on recruiting from a geographic perspective. She has not had great luck recruiting in the South or West (Uncle Geno has had much more success). Any particular reason or thoughts on the best way to improve recruiting in ‘hard to get” areas?

Thanks!

If all of her teams played in the same league, who would win

2001, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2018, or 2019?

good one *
