If there is any year for Coach Ivey to bring in more players than not, this is the year because they're going for broke.

Last year, she had 11 players (not counting Brown) that she thought would play. This year, she currently has eight players (not counting Watson) and of that list, we don't know if all will be healthy next season. I think at minimum they get three transfers and I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up with four.

I wonder if NI is starting to adapt roster strategy based on what teams such as SoCar, UConn and LSU have been doing.

...given the close-to-the-vest nature of the program, who really knows how the injuries/recoveries are progressing? And, yes, working with a short deck year in, year out limits one's options.

So, even though these two six-footers are both listed as guard/forwards, they offer talents that could work with/spell Cass/KK and/or Emma.

And then, there's the big(ger) forward/post situation!
