Great post I would not be surprised if the portal players are younger

Who knows but Duffy may be rostering up for the future and this will be a transition year. I could see her going full bore on an experienced portal player who already knows her system (like Karlen, Hare) but does it really make sense to go all out on a 5th year senior who will take 1/2 a season to learn the new system, then graduates? Especially if these players are going to be in super high demand anyway (and the most talented ones will likely want to be on at least an elite 8 contender team)? Maybe it makes more sense to recruit a talented though lesser known freshman or sophomore and let them develop with our current young players? I think that is sorta what Kara Lawson did at Duke. Next year Duke is going to be very good because those young players matured with a lot of playing time. Thoughts?

Weren't you the one panicking about coaching hires? That worked out ok.
