Destinee Walker from UNC? Used to be a 5 star who has had some injuries? Anyone with knowledge verify this? Not my style to follow women's hoops recruiting but I had some time on my hands .
ND Basketball women's transfer in?
- Thread starter hoopsstar12
- Start date
At the football game on Saturday, I was talking to an usher who is a women's season ticket holder. Follows them religiously. He told me he heard a big girl is transferring in but didn't get specific. Is this the young lady he's talking about?
How would I know who the usher is talking about but if I was a betting man I would say most likely yes .
The question was rhetorical for anyone or no one. I "wonder" if this is the young lady he was talking about? Yep. That sounds better.
Maybe the word big doesn't refer to height but possibly big time? Just a thought...
Another guard? Jordan Nixon , Katlyn Gilbert, Amy Prohaska , , 2019 guard recruit Anaya Peoples , plus early committ for 2020 A. Campbell .
Then there is mention of Tennessee transfer ,Evina Westbrook,who was the #2 ranked recruit in 2017, plus a top #5 recruit C. Clark who Mc Graw is actively recruiting . Don't think we have a chance with Westbrook,but it was mentioned on other Irish websites that there might have been some interest?
That is anywhere from 5-7 guards . Some of these guards will be sitting the bench with little playing time I know we had a a 3 guard offense ,but there was a super player in Jackie Young at the 3spot . Don't know if any of these guards can fill that position.
Still doesn't address the need for taller players that can help in the paint . Sidney Cooks ,6'4" possible transfer from Michigan State?

Yes, Walker is transferring in. She was a high school McDonal’s All American guard who played a lot her freshman and sophomore years, but missed year three with a major knee injury and was limited to four games in November last season due to a hip injury. If healthy, she will give us much needed experience in the backcourt. We still really need to add an impact big!
For a year. She's a grad transfer. I would assume that she's going to be the guiding veteran presence for all of the guards that Jackie Young would have been.
Not sure, but I think she has two years of eligibility left given her medical issues.
Has two years to play from everything I've heard.
Could be a nice addition if she comes back off the knee well. Fits the academic profile ND is looking for and scored 13 ppg as a Soph. Would like to see McGraw find a big with some experience to pair with Vaughn. Preferably someone in the 6'4-6'5 range (as if that's easy lol).
I stand corrected. She does have 2 years available.
6'4-6'5 isn't impossible. Sidney Cooks from Michigan State(6'4) is in the portal and is looking for a more uptempo offense. ND does fit the bill.
Yeah, no worries. I didn't realize it was 2 years at first either. That's nice because I think 2019-2020 will be a rebuilding year, but by 2020-2021, when Sam and Anya are sophomores, if McGraw can get a strategic transfer from a big to support Vaughn, ND will be in good shape again.

There has to be a different strategy, since in the 2020-21 season, Vaughn and Patterson will be seniors and Cosgrove will be a junior. If Muffet holds true to form, the 2020 class will be rounded out with 2 bigs to replace Vaughn and Patterson. Muffet seems to be very adverse to waiting until the last possible moment to replace graduating players, and unless the transfer has 3 years available, it's not the long term solution solution she likes.
Now that destinee Walker transfers to ND , you can forget Evina Westbrook and possibly C. Clark. Too many guards 6 so far . Many pf them McDonalds All -Americans . These days ,elite players don't want to sit the bench.
ND needs elite in the paint players . Vaughn and Patterson haven't shown much ,are not that mobile ,and don't see them dominating in the paint .
Cooks, Marshall, and possibly Watson seem more of an answer to ND's problems

It's really a shame that we have problems recruiting this past year especially when we won a national championship last year, made it to the finals and lost by one point, and had five of our players drafted in the first three rounds. What do you have to do to recruit? A rhetorical question of course
Injured transfer Lili Thompson from Stanford never played for ND due to injuries. Hope injured transfer Destinee Walker fares better.
