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.

Certainly A Bunch of Guards. 2019, 2021 Have Influence. by dillon77

When Alli Campbell walks into practice in 2020:
- Jackie Young will have graduated;
- Jordan Nixon, Katlyn Gilbert and Abby Prohaska will be juniors; and,
- Anaya Peoples will have one year under her belt.

My gut is that one current player and two prospects will influence things:
- Jordan Nixon. The frosh. How good will she be as a frosh? MM and Niele will be able to tell if this is a four-year contributor (a la Lindsay Allen) or if she can use some help.
- Haley Jones. If we get her, the wing/small forward position is signed, sealed delivered for four years.
- Azzi Fudd. Yes, she's not due to graduate until 2021, but her the concept of getting her is huge. Another four-year starter, no questions asked.

So...
- If Jordan is great, our combo guards of Katlyn, Anaya or Alli could all be the "spell" point guard.
Then, maybe MM goes after the guard who can best play off guard, which Bueckers has been doing a lot of.

(On the other hand, I like and admire Clark, Bueckers and Campbell...)

- In regards to wing, if Jones does not come, will MM see if the continually growing Campbell (allegedly 6' tall now) be considered for wing? Or does one also look at 6'1" Sydney Parrish? 6'2" Maddy Westbeld?

- And as for Ms. Fudd, probably does not seem like prudent planning to consider the "beyond" as a factor, considering the whole world wants her, so just go after her, regardless of who is on the roster.
