2023-24 Transfer portal announcements

triaddukefan said:
It's sometimes perplexing and amusing to see players transfer to places that are nothing like where they are leaving. I camt image going from going to school in DC... With a campus jn the Georgetown section to Stillwater. Or the lady who left Seton Hall to go to Starkville MS. But anyway... Simply musing

Yeah I agree. Nothing is wrong with either setting but I’m sure it is like being in a separate planet. I asked the same to L Park-Lane. She said where she went to high school was in a town smaller than Starkville even though Wilmington, Delaware was close. She also said they really don’t think about it because they are so busy with workouts and studying that at both places you get used to the area where you go to class, workouts and a few hangout places. Atlanta and New Orleans are each approximately 4 hours away so alot of the students will go there for weekends where there isn’t a football game.

The most consistent thing I’ve heard is the bigger adjustment is the lack of anonymity in Starkville. Most of the Mississippi State women’s basketball fans are older. A few of the players said they would be caught off guard at a restaurant or grocery store when a fan approaches them and just starts talking.

PS- K Fauntleroy was one of my favorite portal players last offseason. Best of luck to her.

I thought the Maryland Terrapins whiffed on her last year. They needed a PG and they put all their eggs in the Tania Mair basket and lost. Fortunately, the Terps got a good PG in the 2024 class.
 
HerHoopsStats Article Examine Transfers

Some exec. bullet points from the attached article, written by Derek Willis:

  • Nearly one in six players on NCAA rosters this season previously played at a different school, according to an analysis of roster data.
  • For Division I players, that rate is closer to one in three.
  • Just 13 D-I teams - not counting the Ivy League - do not have a transfer player on their rosters.
  • Although transfers occur at every level of college basketball, they mostly are a Division I event. More than 1,600 D-I players this season came from another school - more than 32 percent, almost twice as high as the percentage for D-II.
  • While the Sunbelt Conference has the most transfers -- 51.4% (yes, that's more than half) -- The Big 12, with 45.3%, is a standout among the Power 5 conferences; the others’ percentage of transfers range from between 27% (Big Ten) to 36% (SEC). And the Big Ten figure is boosted by Penn State, where three of four players on the roster have experience at another school, the highest percentage of any P5 team.
  • Within the P5 conferences, switching schools in the same conference is a rare event, but that definitely doesn’t apply to the SEC. There are 18 current players in that conference who previously played on another SEC team, three times the number of Big Ten players who have moved within the conference.
  • Willis believes, to no one's surprise on this board, that "...the additional eligibility provided by the NCAA during the COVID-19 pandemic has helped make the transfer portal a hotbed of activity."

Kaitlyn Chen Enters Portal for Next Season

Raoul has noted on his blog that many players from the Ivy League have announced they'll enter the portal for next year; most of whom are undoubtedly looking to maximize their Covid year of NCAA eligibility. By far the most interesting of these players is Princeton's Katilyn Chen has averages of 35 mpg, 16.2 ppg (on 48% shooting from the floor) and 4.4 assists per game.
Chen is from California: many Ivy League players from the Golden State ended up at USC last year. Could Chen join them?
Or is there another school with a top-flight hoops team and grad school portfolio that would be of interest?

At this time, she is probably the best player in the transfer portal. Maybe the Terps can strike gold twice. It will be hard because she's from California but she's already shown she will play on the east coast.
 
If they’ve already entered are coaches allowed to contact/ can they commit?

I'd think Courtney Banghart and North Carolina would also be a possibility. Didn't she originally recruit Chen to Princeton?

Banghart? Sure she was involved in that recruiting process while she was at Princeton.
Deja Kelly is a senior, so there could be a spot open for a seasoned guard.
