This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Thoughts on 2019, 2020 by dillon77

Having taken in a lot of information/opinions on these players here and on other boards, here's a gut reaction as of early May. Will rate by year, because the 2019 cycle will have an impact on 2020. Also, these multiple tête-à-têtes tend to take on lives of their own, so I completely reserve judgement to change what I'm looking at (primarily because they'll probably determine themselves anyway!)

2019
- Haley Jones (wing): 5. Eh: Lots of competition. Will she leave West Coast. Her HS coach is a US National Team vet. Ah: Seems like she'd do well in basketball system, at ND.
- Aliyah Boston (low post): 6. Eh. Don't even know her finalists. UConn is local. Louisville is chasing. Ah: Sam Brunelle. Seems like a natch matchup with Coach Owens.
- Laeticia Amihere: (forward). 3. Eh: Huge finalist list.who knows? How is recovery of ACL/MCL going? Ah: Why not -- she's the Black Queen!

- Sydnee Roby (low post). Probably only in play if Boston or Amihere don't come. If so, 6. Could use a banger to be with Mik Vaughn.
- Fran Belibi (forward). 5. Lots of variables here (Jones, Amihere), not to mention Stanford.

2020

- Paige Bueckers: 7. It would've been 8 if Lindsay Whelan hadn't taken the Minnesota position. Obviously Sam Brunelle connection, but just think she'd thrive here.
- Caitlin Clark: 6. How many trained point guards can you have on a team?
Ah: Something about Clark says she'd be in charge regardless of what you brand her position. Eh: While ND-Clark would seem to be a natural pairing, it seems pretty low key. Then again, maybe that's all that is needed.
- Natalija Marshall: 7. This just seems right and tight: Strong mutual interest.
- Mady Westbeld: Totally depends on Jones. If Jones comes: 0. If not, 6.
Unlike Kat, Mady is a wing.
- Sydney Parrish: Think this is similar to Westbeld--Jones decision is key. Great player but do you go with the family you know (Westbeld?) For now, 4.
- Ali Campbell: 2. Not as high on guard pecking order, particularly when you factor in Ms. Fudd in 2021.
- Kylee Watson: 2. Not so much wondering about her interest in ND, as the other way around.
