Agreed! Hildago got me watching the team…honestly, but I fell in love with Maddie’s game. You could see her importance and impact when she got hurt. The team missed her. I think she should be a lottery pick. One thing you left out is she is a decent rebounder too. She doesn’t mind getting in the paint. She really does have more of an WNBA game. I can’t wait to watch them this season.

I've loved maddie's game since I've been watching NOTRE DAME🍀🍀🍀I'd love maddie with the Mystics in D.C. learning from the players in that club.

The problem with this is that Europeans do not seem to want to play in the WNBA. Americans want to play in Europe for the money.

It's a disgrace that ND never used her to her full potential. In the beginning of her time with Irish she would get a seal down low but the Irish have never had a guard that could make a lob pass. After awhile she realized that she was wasting her energy getting that seal so now she hardly ever does it any more. Irish coach never made the guards learn how to make that pass so ND will never play for the championship Maddy could have led them to.

" Notre Dame women’s basketball will be without its longest tenured player for the early parts of the 2024-25 season. Fifth-year senior forward Maddy Westbeld underwent foot surgery a couple weeks ago according to a university spokesperson. "

@lincolnholder5874 6 ай бұрын

Westbeld is not underrated, anyone who is a fan of the college game knows how good she is but we must accept that the current PG on her team is a shoot-first guard. With Miles returning it will not get better because both Hidalgo and Miles need the ball in their hand to be productive, then the third choice will be Citron, before Westbeld but I hope that the team who drafts her will play her consistently.

@DT_Brown 6 ай бұрын

Sorry but I don’t really understand the “hidalgo and miles both need the ball in their hands to be productive” like the two are equivalent. I feel that’s very oversimplified. Yes, Miles starts the possession with the ball, but her whole thing is that she prefers to pass first and she creates offense for others. If Westbeld is open, Miles will feed her. I’m sure she has a high level of trust with Westbeld because Westbeld is a 5th year veteran and a smart player. Hidalgo’s court vision had to develop over the season but frequently she would miss an open teammate and force a contested shot herself. Miles is the opposite, she will get her team the best shot every possession, they just have to make it. This is why I hope Ivey lets Miles be the one to run the offense most of the time. Hidalgo is a very good passer with good court vision but Miles is an ELITE passer with THE BEST court vision in college basketball.

@maxpower247 6 ай бұрын

Statistically Maddys best years were without Olivia Miles. Maybe it’s a coincidence but that seems interesting. Hidalgo doesn’t need the ball in her hand to be productive. Olivia Miles is a better floor general, while Hidalgo is a better scorer. Miles will be the 1 while Hidalgo is the 2.

@DT_Brown 6 ай бұрын

⁠@@maxpower247 Westbeld’s first year she put up better numbers because it was a weaker team she was probably the best player on there. Technically miles was on the team that year but only for a few games Westbeld continued to be a solid player the two years after that, but she wasn’t as good as she was this year. She was kinda inconsistent on offense and too passive at times. She took a significant leap in 23-24 and didn’t have to do with Miles not playing imo. She was visibly in way better shape, and clearly more aggressive asserting herself on offense EVERY game like she needed to do as a senior leader. She was very consistent and really the rock of the team. Hidalgo was the spark but they would have really struggled without Westbeld’s steadiness considering half the team was injured. Basically I agree that Westbeld is underrated, should be a steal in the draft. She had a fantastic season and got very minimal hype about it.

It can work they just have to be interchangeable thats an advantage they will have with hildago and miles on the floor at the same time the coach will make it work

@@DT_Brown I love that you pointed out Maddy was very good last year because she worked on her body and om her game. I've seen so many people try to say that her and Citron played better with Hannah at the 1 than Miles. If you look at stats, then yes. But the two of them were better versions of themselves this past season than years prior. I'm excited for the finalized versions of Citron and Westbeld this year. And excited to see a sophomore Hidalgo and a returning Miles.
