Owens was ranked #34 by HG in class of 2018, but she barely got off the bench in her freshman year, and I'm assuming she redshirted this year due to injury?

Her ESPN profile says she also considered Miami (FL).

She was recovering from mono and then decided to redshirt from my understanding. She seemed like a big UConn target for a little while too.

Leaves Maryland thin in the post.

U Thompson could be a great final piece to a team that is a title contender. She is very skilled but I’m even more impressed by her energy and leadership.

If she is really in the transfer portal hope Vic goes after her big time. She would help our post play a lot.

Where would she play? You think Unique Thompson is better than Sydney Cooks? Rickea will be at the 4, Myah at the 1, Matharu at the 2, not sure about the 3, maybe Rickea with Chloe at 4 (although I think Chloe's playing time is about to be like Andi's was this past year).

She is All SEC talent. I think she would be starting four and back up post.

I distinctly remember that early on in the process Geno A. took a visit upstate to see her and either MM/Carol Owen (ND's post coach) did the same. However, UConn moved on and MM went after Danielle Cosgrove, from Long Island.

If Owens has three years of eligibility left, she could be of value to teams that are in need of a 6'4" post. In fact, Miami still comes to mind. Heck, ND could use someone to spell Mik Vaughn because Ms. Cosgrove has proven to be more stretch forward than center and Nat Marshall might still be recovering from her ACL surgery.

BTW, Mimi Collins and Angel Reese are coming into the Terrapin front court, joining Austin and Masonius. Still, I think the team is at 9 scholarship players now. Could Brenda be looking into the transfer market?

Raoul is reporting that DiJonai Carrington of Stanford has entered the transfer portal. She's eligible for immediate transfer as a graduate. Booooooooo.

This isn't a question for you specifically, but when a player puts their name in the portal is it basically like seeing who would be interested and they can pull their name and return to their school if they want? Is that what happened with Mikiah Herbert-Harrigan?

Basically what I'm getting at is could this just be Carrington seeing who out there would have interest if they end up not having space for her at Stanford and so she has almost a back-up?

It appears Owens will have 4 full years of eligibility remaining because she did not appear in any games for MD this season.

Thanks - glad to see that parts of my memory are still working and that Geno did go to see her play. Whew :rolleyes: !

Oliva was Class of 2018. She did not play in 2019-20 for sure, but she got into 16 games her frosh year (see attached), so that's how I came up with the three seasons.

Putting your name in the portal can be exploratorary but it is also mandatory for you to visit or even contact other schools. I'm still not sure what the rules are for graduate transfers under the old rules players were free to make contact once they had a diploma in hand.

You are correct and my memory is slipping since I forgot Owens was class of 2018.

We will get transfer to replace the forward position.
Thank you for helping Geno with this board!

Your forward is already signed.

Hope other coaches can see this message before they accept her transfer ....

Today's youngsters will see nothing wrong with notifying a coach by text rather than in person or actually making a phone call. I'm hoping there are still parents who will correct this.

Not sure why that matters. A lot of coaches spent plenty of time texting recruits during the recruitment process.

That is an unequivocal "wow!"
My first reaction to Oliva Owens entering the transfer portal yesterday was that she had Austin in front of her, along with Mimi Collins coming into the mix.
Now, Collins stands virtually alone in the forward mix there....whew.

Oh brother. Or, perhaps future recruits will think twice about playing for a coach who will end up tweeting about their private interactions for the whole world to see.

Point taken. My kids fire off tweets in the way many people call.

Sure, I'd like to hear "bad" news in person, but who knows how their relationship was and how the communications were built?

What's more important here: the tweet or the (kind of) information revealed therein?

The fact that coaches and recruits text each other is Irrelevant. This is about leaving a coach and a program after spending 2 years there. I believe that deserves a conversation.

Would you resign from a job via text?

Wish you read the twitter closely. It is Mike Barber's twitter. Where do you see coach Kenny Brooks has posted in twitter about Dara's transfer?
