Does anyone know her final list? And is this a shock or what?

Holy smokes. Not a name I was expecting to see. Per this article, her other finalists were Notre Dame, Oregon, UCLA, UCONN and South Carolina.


Back in summer of 2020, her final 9 was Arizona State, Baylor (when Kim was there), UCLA, UCONN, Louisville, Notre Dame, Oregon, South Carolina and Stanford


I could see her fitting in extremely well at Notre Dame, UCLA or UCONN. Dawn does a great job with bigs but she'd be behind Cardoso another year if playing time is part of the reason for leaving. Similar to LSU if she followed Kim there--I'm not sure I see her pairing well with Reese and they have a top 6-6 center coming in next year. Oregon would surprise me with their current mass exodus of players. Arizona State/Baylor have new coaches. Walz always needs players, so that's another option too. Probably the biggest name in the portal after Morrow, especially since she still had 3 more years. In the limited minutes I saw from Betts I thought she looked really good.

This is definitely a shocker, Stanford doesn't usually lose too may undergraduate players to transfer.

I'm sure Betts' phone is blowing up right now

LSU is desperate for talent… Kim is already in desperation mode taking in commits from 3 stars in 24. betts come on down
 
Wherever she goes—you best bet her younger sister is going to that school too. ND needs a BIG compared to UCONN, SC, Arizona.
Can Niele make the Irish connection 4/4: Thompson, Dodson, Brown, and Betts?…. We shall see folks!! Just WOWZA.

I'm sure Niele and Geno are ALL over this one right now.

I can't see Betts fitting in at LSU, not with Reese there and Del Rosario coming on board. She already left a crowded front court situation in Palo Alto. If academics is still important to her, then I would think ND would be in the driver's seat right now or maybe even Duke :eek:

No offense to the LSU fans or UConn fans but I have a hard time seeing a Stanford recruit making that transition academically. Of the schools on her list Notre Dame makes the most sense.

Or maybe NIL has changed everything to the point where it doesn’t matter any more.

Didn't Rebecca Lobo chose UConn over Stanford ??

Idk if she'd be on our radar. She's a sophomore. We'd have Del Rosario as a freshman... Sa',Myah Smith here too.

If we get a big. It'll most likely be a senior. Giving Del Rosario time to grow and adjust to college.

Last year Jana Van Gytenbeek left Stanford for Baylor (which is a similar school in terms of academic ranking to UCONN).

If you’re talking academics UCLA as well.

This really surprises me. Yeah she didn't get to play much last season, but the Stanford front court would be a whole lot less crowded next year w/ Jones, Belibi and Prechtel all gone. I think she would've gotten plenty of playing time. Now it's just Brink and Iriafen. They went from too many bigs to not enough in a heartbeat.

I’m sorry but I almost snorted soda through my nose when I read this one. Maybe I’m jaded as a faculty member, but I just don’t see any difference between ND and UConn academically. Or Duke for that matter.

Don’t worry, I get it. Duke is a good school academically. My sister went there. But no chance any athlete at Duke or ND is allowed anywhere near that world class faculty. The AD has an army of assistants to prevent any such thing from happening. Ironically, UConn is much better at getting their athletes accès to the real education than most other schools.
 
Something I wonder about when a "good" player enters the portal. Does anyone else think that they already have their new school in mind? Obviously this would not include players with a Do Not Contact annotation.
By "good" I mean players that were rated high by Hoopgurlz coming out of HS (Betts) and/or became a good player in college (Morrow).

I believe most of the times they do.

Uuuummmm, not true at all. Volker sat out 2nd semester because she couldnt meet expectations in the engineering program at Duke. Players can take whatever classes they want. They just won't be passed along if they can't hack it!

I have no idea how this relates to my post. Sorry.
