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.

Agree With the 16 Mentioned; Some Changes IMO by dillon77

- Agree with you that K-Mac should be on the first team. She was clutch in big games and was a valued team member...look at her shouting from the bench, feeling for one and all. Exceedingly respected by friend and foe alike.

- Jackie was superb, but to get on that first team I think she needed to have a year of being the go-to person. 2nd team feels right.

- Jacqui Battesast was a really good player on some good, but not great teams. I could see her on third team, save for...

- Big Agreement: Jess Shepard. Never has ND had a more flexible big. One year, she's the low post option; the next she goes between high and low post on offense, while still commanding the boards and playing within the team concept. Honestly, just grateful beyond belief to have had her for the two years, but it does make you wonder what could've been if she, Bri and Kat were around as a rotating threesome. Whew!

- the fact that Alicia Ratay was an exemplarly shooter (180 club) and a good all-round player (she could rebound, using that 6' frame). She was an All-American and the 2nd scoring option on a championship squad. If Lou was worried about 3rd team make-up, just run a more-guard offense!
