'17 Danielle Patterson F 6-3 NY

'17 Danielle Patterson F 6-3 NY

ND has been recruiting her for sometime. I hope the ND recruiter wasn't Niele Ivey.


Danielle Patterson of New York's Mary Louis leaps up women's basketball recruiting rankings for 2017 class

By Walter Villa for ESPN
5/5/16

...

Patterson narrowed her college search to four schools: Notre Dame, St. John's, Tennessee and Virginia.

Patterson grew up a Tennessee fan -- Candace Parker is her favorite player -- and St. John's is her hometown team. Patterson has visited St. John's and Virginia and plans to tour Notre Dame and Tennessee in the fall.

...
"I'm very comfortable with the four schools on my list," Patterson said. "Those four coaching staffs have known me for a while. St. John's has been watching me since the fifth grade. ... To just put a new school in the loop wouldn't be right."

Aside from being loyal, Patterson is smart. She has a 3.8 GPA and plans to major in sports management. After her playing days are over, she wants to be a coach. But that figures to be many years down the road.

Haven't found any announcement of a hire. Did find two tweets that appears to still be open.

Also: I never said that Ivey & Banghart were “the finalists” for the job—in fact, source says at least 1 other coach (P5 HC) turned job down


Raoul ‏@Raoul_000 17h17 hours ago

Regarding that Niele Ivey to Vandy report from late last night, a very good source has cast some doubt on whether it's actually a done deal.

Latest I've heard on the Vanderbilt WBB job is that Niele Ivey will be staying at Notre Dame.

A little surprising that White is leaving the Fever after such a short time as HC.

Probably for a lot more $$$ than the WNBA pays.

Here's an article on SEC WBB HC compensation for the 14-15 season. UTN had a $565K guarantee. At UK, the coach had a $1.1 million guarantee. The Fever doesn't pay like that.

7. Holly Warlick, Tennessee
Guaranteed compensation: $565,000

Max potential bonus: $235,000

Championship bonus: $150,000

Pre-season number one. From everything I've heard this could be McGraws most talented team.

1) Notre Dame
2) Baylor
3) UConn
4) South Carolina
5) Louisville

Notre Dame Fighting Irish ranked No. 1 in Associated Press preseason Top 25, four-time defending champion UConn Huskies third

I think this is Muffet's most talented and deepest team. Muffet has a very nice blend of experienced players and young, talented players. If they don't win the championship this year, something would have gone horribly wrong. The starting 5 will probably be:

Lindsay Allen- Best PG in the country
Arike Ogunbowale- IMO, could be best scorer in ND history when all said and done.
Marina Mabrey- A better all around player than her older sister.
Brianna Turner- Probably the best player in the country.
Kathryn Westbeld- A nice compliment to Turner and is a very solid #4.

Bench:
Kristina Nelson- Most improved player on the team. If they can get consistent production out of her 6'5" frame, watch out.
Ali Patberg: Coming off a torn ACL. She is the future replacement when Allen graduates. Was a big time recruit in high school.
Jackie Young- True freshman and former 5:s: recruit. Indiana's all-time leading scorer for both men's and women's basketball combined.
Erin Boley: Another true freshman and former 5:s: recruit. Similar build to Westbeld but I have heard she is a better scorer.
Mychal Johnson: One of Muffet's best perimeter defenders. She won't light up the score board but players like her are very important in March.

It looks like the defense is greatly improved this year, last year we were often just outscoring teams. Hopefully that continues- that is what it will take to win a title.

ND WBB faces Roberts Wesleyan College
7 p.m. Thursday at Purcell Pavilion


Boley, Young, and Patberg take the floor for the first time.

Really interested to see how she does. Saw her play against my granddaughter a couple of times and was impressed with her offensive skill set. Good head on her shoulders.
