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.

All Power To Her. Not Sure This Impacts the Irish That Much. by dillon77

While Fran Belibi is quite a story - relatively new to the game, can dunk, parents are doctors -- I'm not all that certain it impacts the Irish that much.
She's a 6'1" athlete and unless the Irish were to tweak their offensive system, I think her abilities were not an easy fit in terms of the ND offensive system.

If ND goes after an athletic forward, always thought Laeticia Amihere was the key. And many people are not even that sure of that, given her knee injuries.

For some reason, I think ND is looking at Amihere but perhaps even more so at Aliyah Boston as a low-post addition to Mik Vaughn. Sydnee Roby may be a back-up option there, but the news on Gusters in 2020 makes me think MM is going hard after top-line talent for the 2019...Boston, Amihere and/or Jones. If not them, she'll look to make those up in 2020 with a Gusters, Marshall, Watson, etc.

Stay tuned.

BTW, where's the "faith" in Stanford that is mentioned in the article, outside of the Belibi belief in the Hippocratic tie-ins?
