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.

There's Room For A Number of Approaches.... by dillon77

At the projected start of the 2020 season (not counting walk-on Katy Cole or any transfers/graduate transfers), ND has 8 players on scholarship. Nine (9) if you include big guard/wing(?) Alli Campbell.

Four of those are low/high posters: Mik Vaughn, Danielle Cosgrove, Dani Patterson and Sam Brunelle.
- Brunelle's positioning next year bears watching. She often plays like a three in high school, but many project her (me, too btw) as a 4, like Kat Westbeld.

Five (inclding Alli C.) are guards: Jordan Nixon, Abby Prohaska, Katlyn Gilbert, Anaya Peoples and Campbell.

ND has been a guard-oriented offense for a few years (the wing is usually the biggest guard who can do some work inside, like Jackie).
If they stay that way, I see them going after a point guard and possibly another guard/wing to join Alli, plus one big.

However, if Brunelle plays wing, I could see that flip flopped: one PG, possibly two bigs.

My gut is Brunelle goes to the 4, we keep the three-guard approach and go after one big.

Gut order:
Big: N. Marshall, K. Watson
Point Guards/Guard-Wing: One will be a PG to learn from/spell the starting pg. As to the other, best possible?

So the Irish could seek to land 4 total prospects, bringing the total up to 12, plus Katie.

But the standards will stay high: if they don't get who they want, take 3 and come back with two in 2021.

Ok, second cup of coffee needed.
