The draw of playing for Tara is not there and last year being the team's first in ACC, and first without Tara, was worse than even the lowest expectations. Kate and team will really have to show significant improvement this coming season to remain in the conversation.
This is a critical year I think. The infusion of talent from the freshmen class should safely put us back into the tournament win and hopefully a run to the Sweet 16 or even Elite 8 depending on matchups would put the program trajectory back on the upwards path.
It's going to be tougher in the NIL era, but that doesn't mean we just give up. Hopefully, the new AD will help bolster Kate's resources to attract recruits. We shouldn't let us ourselves become the Louisiana Tech or Old Dominion of college wbb, once powerhouse programs that are now irrelevant.
Recruiting for the Class of 2026 got tougher when Stanford's Class of 2025 was signed, which on paper is a stellar class. High school players do look at depth charts.
