2023-24 Transfer portal announcements

Whether she's entered the portal yet or not, it's my understanding that she hasn't been with the team for about a week or so. They had two closed door scrimmages (one with TCU, one with Tulsa). Jersey played in the first but afterwards informed the coaches she wouldn't be playing in the second.

You have an idea as to the issue? She seemed to be productive on their European tour.

What I have heard -- third or fourth hand, so take it fwiw -- is that her family is pressuring her about both basketball and her non-basketball life, and it's gotten to the point that she just doesn't like basketball anymore. In HS, she trained non-stop. Now, her heart just doesn't seem to be in it. I don't think that -- from Jersey's perspective, anyway -- it's a playing time issue or a bad relationship with the staff. But like I said ... not an insider.

If that's the case, that's unfortunate. This is way too common in all sports sadly.

A big loss for Arkansas, you got to think Mike Neighbors seat is getting a little warm. This season has to go well or else the questions surrounding his future tenure will rise.

Yeah his results at Arkansas have been fairly mediocre. He's had talent there. I've been convinced for a while now that Plum made him look like a much, much better coach than he actually is.

For sure. Neighbors used to joke in press conferences about how they don’t work on rebounding. Don’t coach it, don’t practice it. I knew when a freshman Aliyah Boston ate up 25 boards in a game that the Arkansas program had a permanent ceiling.

He didn't need to worry so much about rebounding when he had Osahor at UW, but she was pretty much a one of a kind player. Hasn't had anyone remotely like that during his time at Arkansas.

I've never seen a player heave shots from behind the arc with her feet always firmly planted on the ground, but that so reliably went in. Truly a one-of-a-kind player!

Man, that’s a trip down memory lane. Osahor got me into WBB. I was at a sports bar and the UW/Kentucky S16 game was on. I remember watching a player who was both nailing set-shot threes and regularly falling out of frame as her teammates ran up and down the court.

She was a special talent and played much bigger than her size. I wish she’d been able to stick in the W, but she seems very happy in coaching.
 
Interesting and confusing at the same time. Thought she had gotten her waiver per previous posts on social media.

Which she shouldn't get IMO.

I agree however there are posts out there claiming she was cleared.

This has been a topic for a debate on the board too. Some have been of the opinion that they could still be approved regardless of the rules. This applies both to transferring before the deadline for those who qualify for the one-time exception and two-time non-graduate transfers.
 
I believe Diamond Johnson's transfer experience is different than most. The health of C. Vivian Stringer was called into question when she left. I feel like that shouldn't count the same as the average player just leaving just because of playing time and such.

If Johnon gets one, the NCAA should just save everyone time and do away with the waiver form at all.

I'm one of the jerks who think all transfers, minus true graduate ones, should have to sit out a year but that rule is dead. Now we have waivers for the new rule. If the NCAA caves then just stop wasting everyone's time and rubber stamp things.

Has anyone else seen this? If they're doing this for 2024 - 2025 then why fight the lawsuit that's in front of the courts? Just kill the rule and put everyone out of their misery please, if you ask me.

Maggie Mendelson, Nebraska volleyball and basketball, has entered the transfer portal. Unsure if she’s in the portal for just volleyball, just basketball, or both. Her scholarship was a basketball one.

Expand ...
Update from Raoul:

Seems Mendelson is only in the portal for Volleyball. So, I think her basketball career is over or on an indefinite pause.

She was a top 5 recruit in volleyball, #32 recruit in basketball so it makes sense to choose volleyball. Too talented of a kid to ride the bench in both sports, I wish her the best and think she'll make an impact wherever she ends up.

Stanford apparently recruited her sufficiently that they thought she was admissible as a frosh, and WBB has an extra scholarship, so in theory Stanford could be one landing spot, as our WVB is apparently in need of a MB. I don't quite understand how this works, but some on our fan board think if she's on both rosters she can still us a WBB scholly even if her primary sport is WVB (which generally doesn't provide enough schollys for every player on the team). I think entering the portal for WVB just means that WVB coaches can affirmatively reach out to her (as opposed to WBB coaches), but I would assume if she wants to be rostered on both teams, the WVB coach point-of-contact could liaise about recruiting with the WBB coaches too.

Will be interesting to see what Mikayla Blakes decides, as I think our WBB team only has one scholly remaining for next season.
 
Kennedy Fauntleroy, who transferred from Georgetown to Oklahoma State, has left Ok. State, according to this post from
Raoul: She played in five games, averaging 23 mpg and 10+ ppg, so it's not as if she wasn't getting minutes when on the floor.
OSU apparently went out their way to state this was her -- not their -- decision, so the reasons are hers. Will be interesting to see where she ends up next.



At the same time, during Xmas break, the Cowgirls added a former Kansas State player, Emilee Ebert, who apparently is eligible to play...now...since she transferred last May.

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

Yes, that caught my attention, as well. It will be interesting, to say the least, to see where she goes for the third go-round. Back to the East Coast? An urban setting? I don't know how her grades are but I could see her playing well in a Columbia system. There will also be some backcourt openings "up" in Marquette next year.
