Player signed by Coach in early signing period is a McDonalds All American nominee. This is a big deal which proves Coach is signing much better talent. We need to keep Coach because if we cut him, this player will probably hit the portal before she gets on campus. This shows progress. Great players make good coaches better.

I don't want to downplay anything here, and maybe things are different now. But when I was in high school there was a guy on my high school team (from a po-dunk town in Western North Carolina) who was a McDonald's nominee. He was a good player, and being nominated recognized the player is very good in their area. Two other guys I played with that were younger both ended up also being nominees and all-state players 2 years later. But that is a long way from being selected for the All-American game. None of the 3 of them were selected, and only 2 of the 3 even played in college (the "biggest" school for any of the 3 was UNCW).
Again, not saying this might not end up being the best player we have ever signed for women's basketball - I really don't know. I am just saying I am not sure I would make the long-term decision on who our coach will be based on a single signee unless maybe they were an actual McDonald's all-american selection.

Just saying it is a step in the right direction and maybe we are getting better players and trying to be positive about the future.
