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.

I'm not sure Turner's a great example. by SorinBasement

Turner might be the most highly-rated post player ND has ever successfully recruited. She was the 2014 Gatorade High School Athlete of the Year, she was ranked as the #2 recruit in the country by Hoopgurlz (ESPNW), trailing only A'ja Wilson. She was (and is) an immensely talented player who had her ups and downs at ND because of injuries.

She played much of her early years at ND with an injured shoulder, tore her ACL, then had continued shoulder issues. Her excellent play late in her career came at a time when she was finally healthy. We'll never know, but without her injuries, Turner may have been as good a player as the program has ever seen.

None of this is offered as a criticism of Carol Owens. I don't pretend to know how effectively she develops post players. I just think in Turner's case, it's likely that good health had more to do with her late success than coach-driven development. The talent was already there.
