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.

ND '21 Recruiting Class Now Rated #1 by World Exposure WBB by dillon77

Yes, it's is -- ahem -- still early and the #1 player in the class is still unsigned (yes, her initials are AF), but it's still interesting.
Order is:
1) ND
2) UConn
3) Oregon State
4) South Carolina
(see link for more).

How did ND pull this off with just two signings? Well, in part, because of where those two -- Sonia Citron and Olivia Miles -- are rated in World Exposure's rankings. Note the order I wrote that:
1) Azzi Fudd
2) Payton Verhulst
3) Sonia Citron
4) Talia Von Oelhoffen
5) Olivia Miles

This #3 and #5 clearly explain ND's high ranking. That's the highest I've ever seen Sonia or Payton Verhulst rated, so someone likes tall shooting guards. The rest of the top 300 players is a paid list.

I've never really seen this organization until now, which may or may not mean much of anything. They post a number of articles on commitments (a la Raoul) and have ratings.

Still, encouraging to see the two 2021 recruits get some early kudos.
