2022-23 Transfer portal announcements

There was a social media post on Sakima Walker, the JC center visiting. I was honestly a little surprised to see her on a visit there considering who they have returning in the post. I would have figured she would go somewhere that she could start for two years. She is very athletic but very thin for a center. She would need to gain a lot of strength and weight to not get pushed around by the standard size posts she would face.

Sakima is more of a forward despite her height. She shoots and incredible 3 pt percentage and a very good ft percentage for someone of her height. Her last second shot to win the JUCO national championship was beyond the nba line. She's a shooter - not a banger. I really haven't seen her shoot much in the paint. I dont see her pushing for RB position down low or leaning on a true center for position.

Walker took less than one 3-pointer per game for her JUCO. IDK how that makes her a shooter.

Almost every touch she gets at the start of this game is in the paint.

look at her over 50% percentage. No, not a bunch but that's not a minimal amount for a big

 

[sweetspot]

When you take 11.1 shots per game, and 0.6 of them are a 3-pointer, I would say that's the definition of a minimal amount.

Walker is definitely a post player. I could see her succeeding at a school like SC. No she wouldn't start in year one but she would absolutely fit in and would be the perfect piece to relieve Cardoso.

I think Ole Miss may be the favorite though and she might even start there. I would be surprised if she doesn't go to a SEC or ACC school.

Any of my NC St friends know much about this?

This will be her 2nd transfer.

Any of my NC St friends know much about this?

She doesn't like coaching. That's all I'm going to say about that.

I thank her for her service wearing the Red and White.

How is Celeste not a grad transfer?

I’m sorry but the NCAA needs to have some standards. Since Diamond Johnson is not a grad transfer, she should have to sit out a year.

I thought Owusu was too

I posted previously that I would have been surprised if all of Owusu's coursework would have transferred seamlessly to Va Tech and she'd earn an undergraduate degree from Va Tech after attending only one year.

If Celeste Taylor isn’t a grad transfer, then I’m even more confused as to why she’d leave.

He removed his tweet including Owusu. Now only includes Celeste Taylor.

Owusu is a grad transfer: the tweet has been updated

Good for her! She knew what she was doing (academically).

 

[hoopsnloops32]

My bet is Owusu to Arizona, Betts to UCLA, Hailey Van Lith to Indiana.

So she's not following the assistant coach?

As long as she doesn't go to Lesser Carolina, no offense to any residents of Lesser Carolina

This guy needs a different side hustle or a serious timeout. lol

 

[dws3665]

Rylee Langerman, 5'9" rising Sr G out of Arkansas, has entered the portal.

 

[BobbyJ]

This guy needs a different side hustle or a serious timeout. lol

He could go help the clown at World Exposure Report.

 

[triaddukefan]

He is normally pretty good.

 

[southie]

So she's not following the assistant coach?

Last week, she started following several Ohio State players on Instagram. So, no surprise they are a contender for Celeste.

Define lesser Carolina bc I know you aren't talking about us.

Your former assistant coach certainly didn't find us to be the lesser Carolina. I'm just saying.
