Don't be greedy

When Owens originally committed to UCLA :

Also Considered : Louisville Cardinals, Ohio State Buckeyes, Baylor Bears, Texas Longhorns, Mississippi State Bulldogs

Texas needs depth at PG/SG. Not sure she'd start at Texas, but if she wants to remain in the state of Texas, she does have a relationship with Vic and coaching staff.

 

[Crossover]

Van Lith, Morrow and Donarski added to the returning and incoming players would be hell for everyone else.

And for the poor basketball. It would never get any rest with everyone grabbing for it at the same time.

Trying to envision Donarski in LSU. Not saying it's not possible, but not sure how she fits. Picturing her defending some of the players in the SEC. Not sure how she'd fare. And yes I know she won DPOY in the BIG12, but that conference is very different from the SEC in my view.

Personally I’d rather someone like Owens that Donarski for Kim’s system, would be a better fit to me

Most fans in the Big 12 couldn't believe Donarski won DPOY in 2021-22 over players like Ayoka Lee and Rori Harmon (who won it this past season).

I remember earlier this season when Deja Kelly torched ISU for 29 points. I believe it was Donarski who tried to guard her; but, since ISU plays mainly zone defense, perhaps it was defense by committee.

 

[Big12wbbFan]

She will be good for someone.

Jaden is a good player and could help a lot of teams. Baylor needs guards with strong perimeter shooting, which is not a strength for Jaden. Nikki got 2 guards from portal with that skill. I am sure Jaden saw “the writing on the wall”.

Is Taylor's commitment to Ohio State confirmed? Thought I saw something on Twitter saying she's announcing on Friday.

Also, Ari Wiggins committed to Butler.

 

[LAWDAWG]

I think we are in the upside down.

Just yikes.

Just an FYI: #96 Demi Washington from Vanderbilt has committed to Temple. Great list. Thanks for updates.

I really like Jaden but she and Andrews were turnover machines this season. And Owens didnt shoot as much as she should have. She seemed timid and looked to pass first.

I think Baylor played a bit too fast at times but yes the turnovers could be cleaned up some which can happen if players slow down and make better decisions. I know my own team was victim of turnovers trying to play 100 mph at times

Owens will be a good grab for someone. She is a bit timid offensively at times but when she shoots with confidence she is a very different looking player.

Gotta give these dudes a follow. That's 2 for 2
Update: had to unfollow because of all the football updates. Made me remember that the transfer portal is just as crazy for all these other sports.

 

[LSUAlum96]

LOL! I seriously doubt that. We'll get at least one, more than likely Van Lith.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Just yikes.

Raoul has 606 as of midnight Friday morning. Is he counting all NCAA transfers for all sports?

No. Raoul doesn't have all of the transfers listed. I posted this a little while ago from another site that was much more comprehensive. When I found this, it had at least 1000 compared to less than 500 on Raoul's site.

I agree. I watched this interview of Flau’Jae and Angel. During the interview both explained why they chose LSU and both basically said it was because of Kim Mulkey. Angel added that she wanted to continue the legacy of the Seimone and Sylvia and others. They talked about how Kim lets them expressed themselves and basically encouraged them to fully be who they are. Flau’Jae talked about how she had every offer in the country except for UConn; she said the staff was hesitant because they wanted her to choose between music and basketball. Kim Mulkey laid it out for on her visit and already had a studio for her to record in. — Angel also said during the interview that Kim said she’s not going out to recruit anymore because everybody’s calling saying they want to come to LSU. I just think NIL and social media especially tik tok has completely changed the landscape of college basketball. I don’t see Van Lith going anywhere else because this is right up her alley. LSU is the place to be right now. Love my state!

Kim isn't going to recruit anymore? If that's the case, why would Shaquille's daughter attend a game on an unofficial visit? That doesn't make sense.

She didn’t mean literally. She was just saying that the way things are going right now, everybody’s calling saying they want to come so she doesn’t have to go on the road chasing anybody down right now. And and unofficial visit seems to me, like you want to play for them if you paid your own way. Watch the interview, The Pivot Podcast Angel Reese Flau’Jae Johnson.

Key part of your second sentence "right now". One championship doesn't set a standard. Yes, Mulkey has a pedigree for winning titles, but it seems a tad foolhardy to believe she's not going to make the effort to recruit. Transfers may pan out one season and flop the next. Louisville is a good example.

And if this is the case, couldn't the same be said for Staley? She's currently on the road watching AAU events during the live period. She could be chilling on campus waiting for more players to come in and visit.

And the flood of calls coming in this year could easily dry up next season depending on how things play out. Literally or not, it's not the best impression to put out there from my perspective.
