I love Vaughn but I don't trust MM's preseason hype on

players anymore. I remember one year with Kristina Nelson, she went overboard.

Now, Kristina was incredibly valuable and one of the reasons they won a championship, but one year MM made it sound like we have the next Griner on deck. 'Absolutely dominating' I think were her exact words.

Nelson, MM was right on the money

We wouldn't have won the Championship without her on the court!
I think it's just positive reinforcement

I'm sure Mikayla has made improvements. I don't expect her suddenly morph into an All-America either. Please prove me wrong, Mikki!

I interpret these statements as Muffet's way of letting the player in question know that there hard work has not gone unrecognized.
Hopefully the improvement relates to lower body strength

If MV has worked on her lower body strength, it's likely she'll be better going up for shots and rebounds than she displayed last year. She seems to have good instincts for the ball and runs the floor well so hopefully she'll be a much more confident and assertive player.
Stronger hands, stronger with the ball, too *
