Fully half of the roster is occupied by Hoopgurlz top 25 players in their recruiting classes including #2 Brianna Turner and #10 Arike Ogunbuwale. I didn’t count #4 Taya Reimer in that half because she is gone.
Do you know that Nelson and Michaela Mabrey were top 40 recruits? Even the players who we associate with hustle and heart, Cable and Huffman, were highly rated. Both were #52 in their recruiting classes. They are excellent athletes, fast and quick with good verticals. Huffman is reputedly the fastest runner on the team.
The two incoming freshmen just made the five player Naismith high school All-American team. Erin Boley is the Hoopgurlz #5 ranked player in the class, and Jackie Young is #11.
Recent graduates include #4 Jewell Loyd, #3 Skylar Diggins, and #20 Kayla McBride. Natalie Achonwa wasn’t ranked because she played in Canada, but she was the only high school player on the Canadian senior national team.
Athletes like to have their effort recognized, but they do not like to have their talent overlooked.
Muffet McGraw has Notre Dame at the top of the best prospects’ recruiting lists. She deserves credit for parlaying her and her staff’s player development and Notre Dame’s advantages in women’s sports into a juggernaut.
