I heard MPR talk about how Geno gets 3 of the best 5 girls every year and Lebron made a similar remark on Tuesday about how impressive our girls recruiting is in regards to the streak.

I've posted this before, but we have four top 25 girls on our roster, after two transferred away. ND and Duke has each signed 9 over the last four years and a handful of teams have matched our 6 or thereabouts.

I think it's safe to say Geno and staff do a pretty good job.

They are only recruiting coachable types of girls within the upper tier, there are some top 25 girls they don't recruit or stop recruiting because they do not meet the criteria.

Agree Khalid. Geno may not get 3 of the top 5 ranked girls, but he usually gets 3 of the of the 5 he really wants.

And girls like Bent and Irwin, will grind for four years most likely and make some of the headliners better in practice.

Bent and Irwin are serviceable bench players. Next year they are going to be very deep on the depth chart but they are good players. Irwin is skilled and has good instincts, but is not a great athlete. Bent's main assets are that she scraps for rebounds and gets a lot of assists, but is not much of an offensive threat. They really have to make the most of their minutes.
