I'm not sure how hard she goes at it
But she did land top 10ish level recruits in Miles, Citron, and Hidalgo. I think Maddy Westbeld was also a top recruit. Kate Koval was a 5*.
I think she has legitimate recruiting chops.
But it's the Mike Brey redux conundrum.
2023, the Irish signed one player (Hidalgo), ditto 2022 when they only signed Bransford. In 2021 they signed 2 (albeit highly rated in Citron and Miles).
You can't go 3 straight classes and sign a total of 4 HS players. Not in women's college basketball. It's forced us to scramble in the portal and not land great fits. But these unbalanced classes really throw a wrench into roster management. Made worse by our inability to keep these ladies on the roster.
