Ouch. Clearly one of the bright spots who I'm sure was counted on as a building block for Coach Marisa Mosely.
And she Wilke was having success.

Wilke is from nearly Beaver Dam, Wisc., and Wisconsin was the natural fit. I read a few articles about her commitment and she said that she was drawn to the then "family atmosphere" set by then Head Coach Jonathan Tsipis. She then sat out her natural frosh year recovering from an ACL.

So, what's next? Interestingly, Tsipis is serving as an advisor to Coach Megan Duffy at Marquette. Duffy is possibly losing Jordan King if she doesn't take the covid year exemption. Or, could she hear from the new staff at Minnesota?

Stay tuned.

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 remember the story and had sympathy for her situation. Clearly I have no idea what went on and even with the likelihood of journalistic spin, the situation still sounded like a tough one that could have been handled differently.

Despite that, the larger red flag to me is adding her to a roster with no real way to know how much she is able to contribute.
 
Also, dissatisfied players have already used their freeby, so it becomes a harder decision to transfer again. If 1000 D1 college players have already used their free transfer, that shortens the number likely to transfer by about 1/4. One class fewer with a 5 season window and 1/4 already having transferred once means maybe 1/2 fewer 'likely' transfers? Added in those that already used that 5th year window ...

Covid year already added 25% more potential players to the pool of college athletes and that will continue for 2 more years - and that adds stress to HS students committing and freshmen and now sophomores already in college. I would expect the graduate transfer pool to remain strong for the next 2 years, while the undergraduate transfers will diminish as each year the pool of college players with a free transfer available to them shrinks - it will reach some form of equilibrium at the same time that the covid year pool disappears.

I just googled "Sedona Prince" to see if there was confirmation of her being in the portal and this was the first article that came up. Just oozes drama and mentions another potential lawsuit for defamation. It's a shame since she's about as naturally gifted a player as you'll find at 6-7. Players of her talent caliber don't come around often.

The late lamented Wonkster correctly informed me that I should have named the Russian mystery player Ivana Steponyavich instead of Stepovaya.

Ole Miss might’ve done decently well in this NCAA tourney but UNC is in position to be a Top 10 team next year imo and she was a starter on that team

It’s evident players still transfers despite being on a top team. There are definitely internal reasons why she may want a change.
 
Coach Yo has a huge personality. Her energy is unmatched, she’s relatable and so down to earth and that bodes well with recruiting.Todd-Williams is a really good defensive player. She probably liked what she saw and how they played defense in the tournament.

True but I feel like it’s still pretty rare for multi-year starters on top teams to transfer (unless you’re Maryland)
 
So, which schools have the most players entering the transfer portal so far? Iowa State, Auburn, Arizona, and Boston College come to mind.

Walz on a radio show this morning said he was looking to sign 4-5 from the portal, ideally w/ 2-3 years of eligibility.

Sounds like he’s not very confident about the offers he has out for the ‘24 and ‘25 classes if he’s looking for that much eligibility.

Only seven players on the roster right now so he needs four or five.

Does that seven include those for sure who are staying put? Most teams lose someone to the portal every offseason, including Louisville.

I believe PG Jayda Curry from Berkeley was visiting UofL the last couple of days. She played two seasons at Cal.

Louisville lost two to the portal on "Portal Monday" - freshmen Zyanna Walker and Jalyn Brown

Very interesting. It seems Walz likes having 2 small guards who can handle the ball and shoot the 3. And somehow they are still always good defensively. Anyways I like the hypothetical fit.
