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.

Not just Mulkey, by BabaGhanouj
although she is the star.
Here's a brief sample I just looked up of 5 or more person recruiting classes:
UConn 2014 - not really 5, but became 5 when Natalie Butler joined; lost 2 plus Natalie Butler
Mississippi State 2014 - 5 including the coach's daughter; lost 2
Louisville 2015 - 5; lost 3
Louisville 2016 - 6; lost 2
Oregon 2016 - 7 (we talked about this one); lost 2
Baylor 2013 - (in addition to 2018 and 2015) 5; lost 3
Maryland 2016 - 6; lost 2 at least
OK, we're starting to get the picture. If I had to rank the schools in 2018, I'd give UConn the number one ranking. The school that already had the best rated 7, gets another incredible class. No wonder they are claiming gloom and doom in recruiting. They lost one number one recruit.
