I agree 200% with this.


I don't see how Dara gets more playing time at talent rich ND. They had a rough season this year, but are currently loading up with highly regarded recruits. I admire Dara's hustle, and she is a terrific shooter, but yes, she is a step slow for ACC play. As was, Panousis. It's hard to coach up quickness and athleticism. You either have it or you don't. I actually thought she would have been better served switching to a different league. Her comment that "Coach Ivey can help me be a better point guard because that's what she was" reads as a diss to Kenny Brooks, whether it was intended as such, or not. Coach Brooks, also a former point guard, arguably knows as much about that position as Coach Ivey. Based on experience alone, he may know more.

VT is not a stepping stone for players to move on to a "better" program. To my knowledge, Dara is possibly the first to ever do so. We've had many transfer out, but not to a bigger, better program. It's been the opposite. Most end up at a non-Power 5 program, many to a much smaller school. I really can't think of anyone else who "moved up", and I can recall as far back as the Carol Alfano days.
