And hasn't Martinez transferred more than once? Or is she a grad transfer situation, if she can actually transfer?
She seems very wishy washy. Last summer she committed to LSU, and then a couple days later took a visit to Arizona and committed there...I seem to remember the same thing coming out of HS for her also..
That might be the reason. In that case maybe they can explore both their draft prospects and portal opportunities. If they get an offer from a college situation they like perhaps they can still withdraw just before the draft on the 10th. If true Prince and Martinez become two of the top portal prospects. Uconn take note!
She even signed ASA paperwork with LSU. But, apparently those are non-binding.
Fields is a grad transfer per WBB Blog.
Part of me feels like she also committed somewhere else out of high school before going to West Virginia…was it Mississippi State? But never attended.
She signed with Miss. State. Then, she was released from her LOI and signed with Texas and Karen Aston; her name was on the official roster and I believe there was an official statement about her joining the program. The next thing we know, she's removed from the roster and is part of the WVU program. All that before the first day of her college freshman season.
I hate to criticize a kid for choosing what they think is best for them but Martinez can't seem to commit to anything.
I don't think she considers herself a post player despite being 6'7. Seems to hate physical play and contact, and has never been a good rebounder (even back to her high school days).
If so, her possibility of a career in the pros will be severely limited.
She committed to Mississippi State then decommitted and committed to Texas (a season before Coach Schaefer’s departure from MSU to Texas) then ended up at West Virginia. She is a 2019 high school grad with R Jackson.
No, she signed an LOI with Miss. State in November of her senior season. Was released from her LOI the following summer. Then signed an ASA with Texas. Not sure exactly what happened after that before ending up at WVU.

True that she signed a LOI but the point was the order of where she went regarding the timeline of Coach Schaefer’s departure.No, she signed an LOI with Miss. State in November of her senior season. Was released from her LOI the following summer. Then signed an ASA with Texas. Not sure exactly what happened after that before ending up at WVU.
Mississippi State, Schaefer sign new batch of Bulldogs from 2019 recruiting class
See who Mississippi State head coach Vic Schaefer signed in the 2019 recruiting class.
No biggie. Just kind of indicating that decommitting from a verbal commitment (which the NCAA does not acknowledge as "official") is a lot easier than getting a release from a signed and binding LOI.
So is she.
Dre’Una Edwards sat out a season after transferring from Utah to Kentucky. As was thoroughly discussed, she did not receive a one-time transfer exception when she subsequently transferred from UK to Baylor. She did not qualify as a grad transfer.
I'm not sure I remember this right, but I thought we tried to recruit her. Maybe someone else remembers better than me.
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?
