2020 off-season transfers

[SECbbfan24]

Austin to Ole Miss is a headscratcher if I've ever seen one. Going for a legitimate title threat to a team that went 7-23 overall and 0-16 in conference play....not seeing what the benefit is for her other than being a massive fish in a tiny pond. I don't see as a smart move if she's wanting to develop her game or improve draft stock.

Her fathers words on why she transferred and her decision of the school she transferred to do not add up at all. She wanted to go to a school where she can do almost anything she wants to "expand her game". At a program like Ole Miss who is desperate for anything at this point, she will likely be able to accomplish that and more with very little restrictions which is what she wanted all along.

There have been quite a few transfers who have announced their decision on their new school, in addition to a number of high school commits, since the shut down. Obviously none of them were visiting schools during this time.

Tampering is a real issue, I think it probably happens all the time, hard to prove though. In this case though I think singling out Frese/Maryland over this is a non starter.

??? That is pretty much one of the things that Frese (and Mulkey) have taken a lot of heat for from "sources" over the years. True or not, who knows, but I can see why it popped to mind.

OTH, I do agree, probably not an issue at this time.

Weird that it took this long to get her name in the portal. Her name was 404'd from the Rutgers online roster over a full month ago, and Stringer confirmed she was off the team in an article published March 20.

That makes sense.

She was apparently removed for medical reasons. Know no details, it was discussed briefly on the Rutgers board, apparently she was at some point in the hospital.

What this has to do with the transfer, I have no idea, but I would say sources cited at the time were reliable.

Kyra Lambert to Texas.

I'm anxious to see where Slocum ends up at

I was half expecting her to end up at Texas before the Lambert announcement.

Lambert is from the San Antonio area, and her high school (Schertz Clemens) is about 60 miles away from the UT campus, just a quick ride up I-35 (barring traffic, of course) for any family members or friends from back home.

Thanks. I saw that. I think I mentioned on another post tgat there was talk that Coach Schaefer had a grad transfer point guard coming to Mississippi State before he left. I bet this (Lambert) was her.

You just know Mulkey is going hard after her. Doesn't strike me as a particularly good fit, but it could happen.

Or she could end up somewhere that nobody’s expecting like a Texas A&M b/c of a school’s star player leaving by means of the draft or transfer. I think Slocum wants to be the #1 option wherever she transfers too.

is Andrews coming off an ACL? I know Mulkey has brought in point guards back to back, but I don’t think she really needs a graduate transfer this time around, remember Sims started as a freshman.

So bummed to report this but... here it goes, another Maryland transfer

Other than conjecturing on message boards, I haven't seen anything about her. She seems to be playing it close to the vest.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dang, another one from Maryland? Maybe Mikesell wants to be the PG and sees that it's gonna be Owusu primarily for the foreseeable future.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of the rumblings about either of these coaches. I think this kind of stuff, when it does happen, is thru back channels so it can't really come back to the HC.

 

[SimpleDawg]

Oh yes, TAYLOR MIKESELL. Can we do Mikesell and Bibby trade?

Not that I want Bibby to leave, btw. Just that given the circumstances, the best I can hope for is that.

I think just the opposite. I think she wanted to be on the wing shooting 3s.

Brenda needs to be in the hall of fame of coaches who produces elite transfers annually. It’s incredible to me

considering Andrews is coming off a major knee injury. I wouldn’t blame her. We all thought copper could be a bad fit at Baylor but it seemed to workout for both parties. Kim is usually really good with PGs

All of a sudden, Vic has 14 players on his roster. It's amazing how fast he overloads a roster. He did that here, and now he's doing it there.

he does as does Walz, but they win

Not necessarily a transfer, but 2020 signee Deyona Gaston is coming to Texas instead of Miss. State.

She has been radio silent since Coach Schaefer left. She was always a big mystery when she first signed as she was ranked number one in her class her freshman year before a knee injury. My understanding is she is recovering and almost back to her old form. If so she will play a lot day one.
