Chickens should speak the truth. Dawn will have a huge and unfair advantage in recruiting just like the little man has/had.

It must go into neutral hands.
And perhaps, just like Pat Summitt had. She was the Olympic Head Coach too. But unlike most all the other national championship-winning head coaches - the Summitts, the Auriemmas, the Van Derveers, the Mulkeys, Dawn Staley has another unfair advantage that they don't/didn't have, and she's totally proud of that: Staley was a major face and force of WBB as a PLAYER - won professional championships and national gold medals as a player. So Staley already had cache with prep prospects as a player. She could tell them things about being developed to have an excellent career at the professional level, that even Summitt couldn't tell them, because Pat side-stepped that avenue (or it wasn't available to her). The first nationally accomplished player at South Carolina for Staley - multiple SEC player of the year and All-American Tiffany Mitchell, had almost a shrine to Staley as a PLAYER in her bedroom growing up as a young basketball player, with pictures and basketball jerseys pinned to the wall. Parker could never have done that for Summitt, Stewart never for Auriemma, Griner never for Mulkey.
Staley hasn't won multiple national titles like Summitt, McGraw, Auriemma, Mulkey, and Van Derveer. She hasn't yet had multiple #1 ranked teams and hasn't yet had an undefeated season. All those coaches had those and in some cases, had several of those. And due to their success they all had unfair recruiting advantages over other WCBB head coaches, even over Staley in those degrees as coaches.
There is no advantage that Luigi now holds, or that he's held over the last 10-15 years, that Pat didn't have snug in her pocket for years, if not decades as well beforehand. It's the ole' "what comes around, goes around". It may be going around elsewhere right now, but that's no reason to be hypocritical about it......
