..and international teams, from Skylar and K-Mac to Jackie Young, Arike and now Marina (called up for a USA National team camp for the first time.)

(Or course, the closest equivalent is Jewell Loyd leaving a year early to become the #1 draft choice in the WNBA, but her coach -- Muffet McGraw -- blew a gasket and only now is that situation seemingly chilling out (not getting into the why or why nots here)).

This is really smart positioning by Nate and he's playing it up in the hope that people think of the career ladder that Korbin and her mom laid out: AAU to Notre Dame to ???? The Irish -- and hard work -- will help you get there. Korbin gave kudos to the coaching staff for helping her 'every single practice, every single game." And the reference to it's not just Florida State or North Carolina was glaringly apparent.

Listen, I'd still love to have her for another year (never thought she'd stay all four years), but if we can't --- be right there for/with her.
And she's only 19! Hopefully, she'll learn, thrive and -- before we all know it -- become a long-standing middie for the US National team, like Shannon Box.

Go Korbin! Go Irish!
