Come home, Laila!

Hope she didn’t burn any bridges last year!

Yeah I mean I’m fine with her backing up Liv and Sy

I wonder how her eye is doing.

I wouldn’t call a wing a need on next year’s team but if she’s willing to come off the bench as a depth piece I think it would be a nice add!

I just don’t see how so player of her ability would choose to come off the bench. She’s a high level player

If her eye is fully recovered but if her vision is off……

She’s not coming back guys

I’m certainly not expecting it but it would be a nice story.

I definitely get the impression there are/were some bruised feelings around this one. Like, KBA didn’t (and wouldn’t) evoke anyone by name, but the way she discussed last off-season I think it’s somewhat clear she took the mass exodus somewhat personally.

Probably so. I think it would be hard not to. Though I think at least a couple were strongly NIL-related.

Why wouldn’t they just play Swords, Phelia and Olson together in this hypothetical world? I don’t see an issue playing 3 girls who are 6’0+ in the lineup, especially when they are pretty good rebounders. You don’t need a true 4. We played a 6’1 guard at center last year. A 6’1 wing at the 4 is no problem.

Notre Dame fans seem confident but it’s interesting she has a no contact tag already. Her high school teammate is still at ND
