That needs to change. We need to be able to compete on an ongoing basis for the elite, All-American level types. We've seen from personal experience how the best of the best (Cameron Brink, Haley Jones, Kiana Williams, the Ogwumike sisters, etc.) are needed to win titles and face off against teams with incredible talent.

I'm with you 100%, but if it's true that we're not effectively competing for those elite players, something has to change.  What might that be?  Could Tara's retirement still be playing a role?
