Northwestern women’s basketball will be looking to reload after Nia Coffey, Ashley Deary and Christen Inman all graduated after the 2016-17 season. The Wildcats will be looking for its next core of young players to take the team back to the NCAA Tournament.
So far, Joe McKeown’s Class of 2017 is very guard-heavy, which makes sense after Deary and Inman’s departures. According to ESPN’s rankings, Northwestern has two top 100 recruits and another three-star guard. This is good enough for ESPN to rank Northwestern as having the 17th-best class in the country.
Lindsey Pulliam, a four-star guard from Maryland, is the best recruit in the class.
