Begs the question: why post this now? We are in the midst of "portal season".
Potential transfers may see this or be directed to it by friends and/or family members.

My thoughts are that this isn't the time to ask/post said question. Portal still open; last season, while perhaps falling short of expectations, was not a bad one- 21 wins and .500 in conference. In fact better than the ACC media/coaches predicted. Let's see what our roster looks like before criticizing hypothetical scenarios. No need to rehash old conversation at this point.

If we don't suffer any more losses to the portal I think with the returning core our team will improve as much as we did from 2023-24 to 2024-25. After that I have no idea.

Charmin has four years remaining on her contract extension. Lyons will give it a look after two more years. NCAA appearances have to be the standard. Cannot spend $8 million on our program without at least getting that result. But optimistic that this standard can be met if we keep our current players and do well in the portal.
