Will Aubrey and/or Saylor travel with the team to the Bahamas?

See no reason why everyone but Poffenbarger wouldn't go. ??

Maybe she’s afraid of dolphins?

If I knew I was leaving the program, I would need to mentally separate myself from the team ASAP. Envy and other feelings would get in the way of enjoying the trip.

Beyond that, she needed to get in the transfer portal so that other schools could make contact with her and possibly arrange for her to transfer there for the second semester of this year. Losing three to four weeks would not help with getting that done.

True, but after this semester Saylor will have completed her Freshman year. So she would actually be starting her Sophomore year.

The only reason any of the injured wouldn't travel would be if the travel could aggravate their injury or if they were receiving a treatment that they couldn't receive there.

Saylor, where ever she ends up, has four years of eligibility remaining, and it probably doesn't make sense to burn one of those years on a half season given her injuries, so she may very well not play again until next fall. As far as her new school is concerned she might as well be an incoming freshman come next summer.

I thought the same thing. I mean she's staying at UConn for the rest of the semester, so why not stay with the team for at least that long and then make your decision?

She made her decision and I suspect it was not a secret. What happened Monday was her decision was announced.

Once the decision is made, it's time to move on from the team you no longer want to be a part of. It's better for everyone.

Saylor is no longer with the team and Geno said he expects those injured will be ready to play. We will see.

What is everyone doing to get their games on TV ? Or can they only be streamed via some service? Which service? These could all b e really good, competitive games. Unlike the dreary Big East Conference tilts.

When are classes over?
 
Never mind.
Looked it up.
Friday, Dec. 10th.
Another 3 weeks.
Had to pull the trigger when she did.
(IMHO)

Wonder how the years of eligibility work? Since she announced she's transferring now and has not played any minutes, she has 4 years of eligibility when she does transfer.

If she had played some minutes this season (no idea what the minimum is), would she have had only 3 years of eligibility left?

My guess is that there will only be on competitive game, the final.

If she stepped on the floor and was recorded as played (1 min) she would have burned a year of eligibility and would have needed to apply for a waiver to try get it back.
 
Do the girl's have their own dorm? If so, do you think Saylor moved out of the team dorm? Does anyone know who her roommate was?

It was a judgment call on her part. But theoretically she could’ve waited until January to announce she was transferring.
 
Yes, theoretically.
But the comfort zone of hanging around until January?
I’m guessing “Mom” had the next destination selected at least concurrent with the announcement.
Really do wish the best for Saylor.
Tough to carve out playing time on such a talented team.
