transferred to Texas Tech. At 6’6” I would welcome her to Notre Dame. Decent stats. Tall, solid, not skinny. Bummed losing out on Prince, and others, this year.
..about Erin DeGrate's possible new playing site.
Like you, would like to see some action on the 2020 Recruiting front: who knows, the covert trip last week might've been Caitlin Clark?
As per your desire for Clark and Westbeld joining Nat Marshall and Ali Campbell, you won't get any complaints from me if that came to pass.
Erin DeGrate may be transfering to Baylor according to Raoul. https://wbbblog.com/2019/07/02/transfer-news-july-2019/
If we can get Clark and Westbeld to go with Sam and Campbell. Their
outside shooting could cause night mares for opponents. This would open
up some holes for our guards like Anaya and Gilbert to do their magic. Plus
would put Danielle either uncovered or one on one to do her ususal 3 point
shot. Lets night leave Mik out of the scoring. She can be a tough load to
handle by a post. Like I said a night mare coming to a court near you.
With or without them it could still happen. I just would rather have it
with them. It will also open up space for 1-5 to get a rebound or assist.
God, I am getting excited already.

after Mik gets into foul trouble?
I agree with your concern. But I also don't want her to slack off on her
aggressiveness and toughness. We may have to revert back to our style of
the championship year. Play loose the first half and go at it the second.
...I do not have the answer to that one. You know who ever we play their
game plan will be to go at Mik. They may use 3 or 4 post. But there goal
will be to attack Mik and get her out of the game. This might be MM'S
biggest issue to over come.

We don’t have to mirror who plays where on both ends of the floor. We are going to struggle at forward all year due to lack of numbers and experience. We had lack of numbers in our title year but had experience.
We lack the experience required to lay-off teams in the first half and then charge back in the second half. I suspect we will play zone to limit fouls some - but in the end we simply are going to lose to any elite teams with experienced and numbers at forward.
That’s just reality this year. 6-8 losses is to be expected because of this issue and also because at the start we have five players that don’t know each other laying together.
But where it comes to my team they will always have a chance. We all start
0-0. After the season gets started and see what they can do. Then I will
make my bold prediction. As of today. They can still win the national
championship. Until they prove me otherwise.

We don’t have the experience and horses to do it. Better just to buckle up for a bumpy ride and look for progress over the season.
