2022-23 Transfer portal announcements

[choclate45]

I would love Uconn to get her. I know we were on her final list of schools.

Lauren’s younger sister Sienna just visited ND this calendar year (forgot what game). Niele has got to look at her (she’s already recruited her). Wonder if she goes after both her and Prince?

 

[Geew1992]

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

 

[BRS24]

From Raoul's blog, here were Betts' finalists (text on page not copyable)

 

[Hayven]

Wow I can’t believe she’s willing to leave Stanford. Did she ever visit Storrs? I don’t recall her doing so

 

[bballnut90]

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

 

[SECbbfan24]

LSU is desperate for talent… Kim is already in desperation mode taking in commits from 3 stars in 24. betts come on down

 

[Coler]

Kim better go hard after her.

 

[jbc021592]

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

This has not been Tara’s finest year.

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.

Stranger things have happened.

Didn't Rebecca Lobo chose UConn over Stanford ??

Didn't Rebecca Lobo chose UConn over Stanford ??

And didn't Sue Bird also?

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).

 

[donalddoowop]

All of a sudden Morrow's availability has lost a little luster. Just a little.

And Morgan Cheli too ....

And Katie Lou.

If you’re talking academics UCLA as well.

Imagine what Jan Jensen at Iowa could do with Lauren Betts, her high school front court partner Addison O'Grady is at Iowa already.

 

[nwhoopfan]

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.
