Nobody has pointed to recent women's recruiting. Princeton has been bringing in high level, now top 150 recruits, for a good while & Harvard has joined them in the last couple of years. Mike McLaughlin has been competing very well for top talent, thank him very much & has the highest rated player in the incoming class. While I think that H/Y/P have some institutional advantages, the biggest hurdle that Steve Donahue & his staff have is probably the dismal record since 2007. Not only are Corky Calhoun, Ron Haigler & the final four team meaningless to recruits; but so are Allen & Maloney & the Dunphy years. We're going to have to have a sharper eye for talent that will develop(e.g. Betley) and the local awareness (at least Philly area & North Jersey & DC kids know what the Big 5 is or can see it at the St. Joes game) to get competitive. Nationally, right or lucky evaluations are necessary. Mike did find Alyssa Barron & Syd Stipanovich & get them to come to Penn. If Steve can do the same & we win one title, the advantages of the best facility, excellent training facilities & an exciting rising city can do the rest to restore the program.
