I don't really think anything is going on at Duke. Goodman was not an asst coach, so this move is an upgrade for her. Gandy is young and wants to be a head coach and best practice is to work under a variety of head coaches. Pretty sure SC pays way better, too. With the exception of one, not a single transfer was a surprise. Shy didnt fit the system, Shay never played, and Jordyn wanted to play more and start. I do think Jordyn jumped in the portal prematurely. However, Lawson doesn't strike me as someone who is going to make promises about playing time, so this is where things are. I'm actually pretty content with the changes as long as we get a pg in the portal. I think if the '24 class doesn't work out, then maybe I'll be concerned.

I agree. Coaching churn happens more frequently than we think. Michigan has gone through a fair bit of assistant coaches over the past few years. The post coach changed at least 3 times in the past few years when Toyelle Wilson got the job at SMU. Baath just landed the job at Providence this year. It hasn't affected their ability to be competitive. Too early to say how this impacts Duke, if at all.

I couldn't have said it any better. Hindsight is 20/20, but Oliver bailed too soon. Taylor leaving was a gut punch. I don't think the other two transfers will hurt. My blood pressure is fine..... For now.

I guess the Corvallis to Durham pipeline has dried up. I wish the young lady well. I was thinking a few weeks ago, if we could have somehow snuck her into a game, we would have advanced further in the tournament

Class all the way around. Heard an interview this morning with Aleah back in Corvallis, OR, and Aleah sang the praises of Duke University, the Duke coaching staff, and the rise of the Duke WBB program under Lawson. Thanks to the Dukies for supporting Aleah Goodman while she was away from the OSU campus. We are glad to have her back. This is a game changer for OSU WBB.

I forgot to post this earlier
Doing some reading. He played at Marquette with D Wade. I kinda remember him now. He comes from the University of Wisconsin, was an assistant at Marquette previously. Going from Madison to Boiling Springs. My goodness gracious.....
He might wanna look into commuting from Charlotte.
