I think Indiana State started the season a few years ago with ZERO players from their previous roster.
There were multiple teams with double digit transfers last year.
Agreed but this is the trend and it seems to be getting worse. The pace of players entering the transfer portal will start to increase with the end of conference tournaments. I fear we're only seeing the start of this.
I think the Aggies track and field program will definitely be a benefit for the Colonial conference.Hampton has been in the Big South since 2018. As you may recall... I railed at Hampton for leaving the MEAC for the Big South when it happened...... but alas... My Aggies joined them a few years later. I was gonna rail on Hampton again when this announcement was made, but decided to let the smoke clear first... good thing I waited.
Hampton's President goal for years was to be in the Colonial. This news caught everyone by surprise here... but apparently the Colonial reached out to A&T last fall. The Aggies are gonna have to upgrade their facilities...... and they are gonna be taking some arse whippings for awhile... and I bet the football team is looking forward to a late November trip to Maine every few years
Kim and Autumn might want to look at Aaliyah Nye from Illinois. Leading scorer and leaving after one year.
You're right, but I'm not sure she's at the developmental level she needs to be. I think she's gotten better and would've benefited from being the focal point of the front court next season with Na'Lyssa Smith moving on. Now, she's jumping in. While you rightly bringing up other top centers coming out in '23 (don't forget Czinano), I'm just wondering if Egbo can jump some 5--6 year vet who knows the ropes for a WNBA roster spot. A lot of these "gray" area players could benefit from another two teams being added to the WNBA. In the meantime, tough market....
I don’t think Egbo should be concerned about Czinano, the W hasn’t been saturated with undersized posts from the BIG Ten. I do agree she should stay another year to get more development, although I’m not sure Collen is the right person for the job. Ironically, I believe the Iowa coaching staff would do wonders with Egbo
Low post players outside of Fowles, and Griner are not very popular in the WNBA.
No offense to Czinano, but Gustafson was a much better player for Iowa and she's barely clinging on in the W.
Maybe not a WNBA roster. Overseas is a possibility I think, but not sure if it would be the upper tier European teams.
Czinano definitely has the talent to play in Europe. And in Gustafson's defense, she's been using her time in Europe to expand her game further and further from the basket. But Ekat won't be calling either of them any time soon.
Egbo is very talented, athletic and is very capable. Unfortunately she is not consistent against top tier competition. She fouls way too much and she is erratic scoring at times (missed layups and shots near the rim). Smith on the other hand has shown she can sustain it and put up elite numbers against the best of the best.
Taylor Mikesell just announced she will be back as well
