Marta Sniezak is such a solid kid....prolly never be a star, but played her heart out at Stanford, and deserves to be on a solid team--she'll hopefully be able to make more of a contribution at ND than she could at Stanford.

I'm really liking Sniezak. She might not get the hardware at ND this year, but she'll likely be a reason for hardware ND could get in the following seasons. She's going to be a great mentor to ND's young guards this year.

Yes, unfortunately for ND...

I also found Kelly Harper's demeanor on the sideline a nice change-up from Holly's persona--I know she meant well, but she typically struck me as being so pressured, and frazzled. Kelly took it all in stride, and seemed to give a great encouraging energy to the kids.

Later in the game when ND started to make a run to bring it within single digits, I was thinking that if UT still had Warlick coaching, ND probably could have pulled it out.

These 2 teams may surprise a ton o' folks with progress made by February. |
Agreed, especially if Vaughn comes back fairly strong for ND.

| Poor Sniezek. She should have multiple assists but ND can't buy a bucket. |
Brunelle has talent, but she may struggle against top-25 competition. She is very slow and unathletic. |
She could end up as another McBride, but bigger. And that isn't bad. |
What? McBide is an absolute stud and was in college. |
That is my point. I meant it as a compliment. McBride isn't 6'2" either. |
Dont Think UC was complimenting at all with the comments. |
I meant that she seems slow and not very athletic. While she clearly has a lot of basketball talent, the speed of top-25 teams might hinder her. Nothing more, nothing less. Please don't insinuate things based on my opinions or attempt to put words in my mouth. If you disagree, give reasons why. Thanks. |
Keep in mind that she is playing out of position for the most part and is just starting out on the college level. She's playing the 5 when she's more naturally a 3.

I thought Sniezek looked very good and I don't know why some of y'all are talking her down. She is really solid and was everywhere. Brunelle looked nervous and like she isn't quite there yet. She'll get there.
This is the first chance I've had to get a good look at the Lady Vols and I was quite pleasantly surprised. I can sure see the difference in Kellie's coaching. They have a lot more speed and energy and really pounded the boards. I also noted that KK has dropped some pounds, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Kamera Harris, who Holly almost never played, has come along and did some nice work last night. It was also good to see Jazmine Massengill's ability to pick up for Zaay Green.

| This might be the worst ND team I’ve seen in years. Muffet will definitely earn her paycheck this year. They are young, but talented.

They were inexperienced before, but they have already lost one starter and one projected starter to health issues only three games into the season. That certainly hasn't helped.
With Vaughn out, their lack of height may be more critical than their lack of experience, certainly against a tall team like Tennessee.

Where'd that happen? I thought everybody here who commented on her were positive.
You realize, she's not a freshman. She's a grad transfer, and didn't exactly set the scene on fire at Stanford. I always enjoyed watching her there, though I'd stand by her probably not becoming (my definition of) a star. But I am glad she overcame her injuries and is able to play for ND. She will contribute there, nicely. She may well be a *star* for Muff.
