Yes - this very "off" off season has been mostly bad news for us from a competitive coaching standpoint - three programs we have had to recruit against to varying degrees - ND, TX, and Duke - all made big upgrades. And whether or not Lawson is the next coming of her former coach Summitt, I imagine recruits will find her night and day in terms of demeanor vis-a-vis JPM, so that alone will make her much harder to recruit against.
In theory, Duke should be our absolute closest competitor from a recruiting standpoint given the similarities in size, university style, and academics-athletics excellent.
