A hidden benefit might be added maturity. I haven't read the term "miscreant" on Crossports in ages. Not since the last time Coach Carmody was bashed.😉

No reason for concern but there has been a trend in women's bball that commit announcements pick up well in advance of the end of their jr. years. This year's and next year's frosh were committed to HC by this time. I hope we're trying to reach higher given our recent success - we will have at least 3 openings with Janelle, Bronagh and Cara being seniors next season

Although a fair amount of commits have occurred the last couple of weeks, not at the pace of previous years. Don't know if that is due to coaches or the kids. Who knows what effect the portal is having. |

Maybe HC can secure a little higher talent level than usual if other teams are overwhelmed with trying to compare a current HS junior vs what might be available in the portal for the '24-25 season, and HC can act decisively with a plus talent recruit.
HC should be decisive with aspirational picks as at our best we are not a portal school. Out of necessity like in MBB, OK. But long term, four year keepers are more valuable than portal pick-ups at HC imo.

I also note, that, as of today, there are only 4 announced commits in the PL, 1 for Lehigh (Nov.), 1 for Loyola (Nov) & 2 for Navy (both Jan.).

Emma West, who is a teammate of incoming frosh Simone Lewis is off the board, she just committed to William and Mary. I thought we had a pretty good shot of getting her. Had several offers including Navy & Loyola.
