Not sure about her original commitment to Texas but when she hit the portal, she took a visit to UCONN.

That is correct. Would Geno entertain her if she wanted to visit, again, or would he contact her? I don’t think that he would.

There is that 7'2" Russian player. Her name escapes me. Ivana Stepovaya or something like that.

They also need a player totally focused on offense, shooting from anywhere on the court. There’s that German player available, Ima Guuner?

Couldn't crack the Terps rotation. There are far reaching ramifications for this transfer. First, her sister Amiyah who committed to the Terps will most likely ask for her release from her scholarship. Second and even more important, her stud sister Kira Reynolds (class of 2025) won't be going to Maryland now. She averaged a double-double and also averaged close to 6 blocks per game.

I think he would, if he was looking to add anyone. I’m not sure he is, though.

It hadn’t occurred to me that Prince had any eligibility left. She seems like the only post player Geno might be interested in.

I wouldn't touch Prince with a 10 foot pole if I'm Geno. She’s big and skilled but isn’t the most basketball focused player, nor does she like competing down low. My guess is she ends up somewhere that packages some big NIL deals for her. She has a massive Tik Tok following similar to the Cavinder Twins.

Wait. I thought if you declared for the draft, you renounced your remaining eligibility? Or is this for folks that only had a covid year to use, not multiple years of eligibility left?
Expand ...
I posted the same thing but on the WNBA website it states that this year's draft includes an opt-in clause. This means that players with collegiate eligibility remaining don't have to forfeit their remaining eligibility. However, I must have missed the "hiring an agent" caveat.

And she wouldn't of probably seen all that much PT next year with Sellars, Alexander and Briggs around. Plus, who knows if Brenda will being in more transfers.

Agree with your ramifications that have been duly noted on McGraw's Bench, since the Reynolds family plays at South Bend Washington, home high school for one Skylar Diggins (Smith).

And, yes, Kira is the primary interest for Irish fans, too.

Didn't she already visit UConn back when she left Texas? Pretty sure she also dropped by ND on her way out west to Oregon.

If Coach Ivey goes into the transfer market, I hope Ms. Prince isn't considered at this juncture for a slew of reasons; most notably that she really isn't a rebounder and that's what Ivey needs out of that post position. Ironically, Prince going to Oregon is one reason Kylee Watson ultimately left the Left Coast for ND -- playing time. Can't see Niele going in the direction.

When Collegiate players hire an agent, they’re no longer able to withdraw themselves from the draft. I don’t know how it works in terms of NIL, though.
 


Another freshman out from Wisconsin? Thought the team had made some decent inroads compared the last season. Many UConn fans want Moseley to succeed. This is a little perplexing.

I doubt he does. Sedona visited UConn after her transfer from Texas and the Huskies finished a very close second to Oregon. I’m thinking Geno would go in a different direction were he to consider bringing in a post player from the portal.

Interestingly, the number of transfers this year is way down from the number of transfers at this point last year.

I don’t think any top program should go anywhere near Sedona, she seemed to be a distraction and negatively affected team chemistry at Oregon.

To be exact, according to Raoul's blog:

In 2021-22, there were:
  • 1,331 Total
  • 269 from P-5 Schools
  • 1,062 Non P-5's
  • 192 Players who had previously transferred

In 2022-23 (so far)
  • 302 Total Transfers
  • 87 P-5 Transfers (about 1/3 of last year)
  • 215 from Non P-5's
  • 34 who had previously transferred

So, if you feel there are less transfers that you're reading about than lat year, you're right...so far.

One possible reason I can see for this is that the Covid exemption only applies to juniors and seniors now, cutting down on the multiple years a player might get.

And, who knows, maybe coaching staffs are addressing issues that players cited when they transferred (more open communications?).

Stay tuned.
 
While not wanting to disparage Martinez or Prince, they both need to figure out what they want. Martinez's announcement to me screams "looking for the best deal". I get that many players can and are doing that in the NIL days but being obvious about it seems too much.

Prince has struggled with injury issues throughout her career and I'm not sure how much she could add to a program at this point. Earlier she mentioned she would forgo any remaining eligibility to focus on the WNBA. She's a talented player but I wonder if she would survive in the WNBA or if her health would allow it.

Shouldn't these kinds of questions be directed at the coaching staff? It's not like any of us can put her on the team.
Expand ...
Do you really think anyone on the coaching staff would read or respond to any correspondence from anyone of us? :eek: Most coaches think the fans are clueless and have no idea of what's going on with their respective programs. Geno said as much during a presser once.

Did the blog give the timeframe for the transfers from last season? I would think we would have heard from a majority of players with that intention by now but don’t remember how it has previously happened.

Wasn’t last year the first year of the immediate ability to play after transfer? Is so, that could also have impacted the higher numbers.

I think this and one less class eligible for the Covid year must be the reason.

We need a "winner" emoji here so I could have applied that to your observations there. :)

I think there are plenty of red flags; just hard to tell what is fact and what is fiction.

When she left Texas she couldn't wait to tell her story about how Texas doctors didn't take care of her properly, and then cried to her new Oregon fans about all her medical bills (which she knowingly accrued by going outside the Texas medical team to seek her own surgeon in New York, I believe). She never filed a lawsuit against Texas despite her public accusations (of medical negligence?). You would think it would have been a slam dunk based all the details she provided to the journalist who published her sob story.

I believe she started a go-fund-me account for donations toward her bills; not sure how much she collected from the Oregon faithful. She then filed a lawsuit against the NCAA; I forget what that was about (unequal training centers for the women at the "bubble" in San Antonio during the COVID NCAA tournament in 2021?).

I think the lawsuit was before the 2021 NCAA tournament. Related to being able to profit of her name, prior to NIL being a thing.

She had a bad season-ending injury a few weeks ago. Might not play much next season. Wonder if that changed her or Maryland's thinking on where to go...

I'd think her since her sister is in the portal

First Mila announced she is in the portal today. Not a surprise that her sister was released from her NLI. She (Amiyah) did have a very bad foot injury and was expected to redshirt. I wonder where they'll end up. That team could get a big surprise in the 2025 class with their elite sister Kira.
