Anything short of a starter would be a disappointment.

This is an elite starting four that is screaming for a big. A Maya Dodson would certainly do. We lost a great rotational player (and teammate) in Nat. Kiki obviously fits the mold. I don't know enough about the other players. But this team needs an athletic big that will be able to defend the post.

Not quite

I'll be disappointed if we don't get anyone as good as (or better than) Kylie. If she hadn't gotten injured we probably wouldn't be in the market, so getting someone comparable will keep this from being a "what if" season.
Not to me

We have a 6'5" top five recruit coming onto the team. I will be fine with Koval as the starter, especially when she is surrounded by accomplished veterans.

If Ivey can get a post player who's better than Koval, great; but if she gets a solid backup who defends opposing post players well, I won't be even a little disappointed.
Sure. But we had that.

If we lost Nat and simply got a rental of similar caliber then I’d call that a loss for the program.

Ditto.

Or a very tall forward who is good in the lane who can become something of a three-person rotation, like Maddy, Lauren Ebo and Kylee used to have.
