Ok so I'll be controversial here. I want to thank Tara, all her coaches, players (past and current), and also Joanne P McCallie for their help in boosting our class. I could be wrong but suspect that in past years we might have lost some of these excellent players (especially those in the southeast) to Duke. Stanford's an amazing school, great campus, great coaching but Duke's terrible coaching may have helped us capture recruits that might have stayed more 'local' otherwise! So glad she's still at Duke! ;D

Duke has really underperformed considering the talent they've recruited.

Over the summer, I went over the Hoopgurlz rankings from the Class of 2010 through 2016 and Duke had more top-10 recruits in that period (10) than ANYONE else, which included UConn, Tennessee and N.D.

Though they did have 4 consecutive Elite 8s from the 2010 through the 2013 NCAA tourney (including losing to us in the 2012 tournament), they've only made a second round and a Sweet 16 appearance since before missing the tournament all together last year.

In comparison, we had one Top-10 recruit in that period (Chiney in 2010) and we've made 4 Final Fours, 2 Sweet 16s and an Elite 8 during that same time period.
