Kind of an interesting take on what it was like to come in during a pandemic. Initially, they couldn't have more than 4 players in the gym for practice, trying to find ways to form team bonding over Zoom, lack of a crowd for home games (She said it was weird being able to hear herself calling out plays during a game, as if it were a practice), etc.

While I'm no ND fan, I think the sport needs them to be great. With that being said, I think too many people are sleeping on ND based on Muffet's last year(how do you replace all the those seniors?) and Ivey's 1st year being Covid.

I really think they can challenge to win the ACC. Miles and Citron are going to be a top 5 backcourt nationally next year. They're young, but they've got some talent. If Dodson can anchor the post against top 25 teams, that's a S16 team to me.

I agree. If Sam Brunelle can continue to contribute as well, this is a very talented team that I see no reason why they can't hit top 15, if not hover around top 10 this season. Miles is a very talented, top tier point guard and Dodson seems to found a great fit.
