Partially agree. Vic wants to build a program that is perennially considered Top 10. But he will do it his way, not the conventional way. His first year team finished 17th in the final Coaches Poll, an incredible accomplishment thanks to the Elite 8 performance, so the program is already on that trajectory. No other 10-loss team finished as high.
I agree that a healthy Moore is a very important cog, but a healthy Gaston is just as important. (I'm not certain we can consider Deyona a freshman, but she certainly is from an eligibility standpoint.) Throw in Sikuzani and you have a front court nucleus that can compete at the highest level based on their mobility and hard-nosed attitude. I admit I'm reaching a bit with Femme because I have not seen her play, but I trust Vic's instincts that she is his type of post presence.
Let's face it, we won't find a prototypical, Jessika Carter-type post in the transfer portal this off season who is proficient on both ends. But we don't need one with the aforementioned players that are excellent program fits and match the style of play that Vic is trying to instill from one to fifteen.
