2023 New school commitments by Transfers

Me thinks you are drastically over valuing how strong the ACC actually is. From a National consciousness perspective only VPI and ND are currently relevant and while Miami had a nice NCAAT run, they were still tied for 6th for the regular season in the ACC. NC State, Duke, Louisville are all considerably weaker and who knows about UNC now as some aspects look better but some are weaker. This is still a conference without a “national POY candidate” even with Kitley returning. Where is all this “strength“that you are touting?
Expand ...
Are you projecting based on what exactly? Current rosters? Coaching? Last year's performance? In the final poll the ACC had 6 teams in the top 25 (VT,ND,Louisville,Duke,Miami,NC). The SEC had 4 (LSU,SC,TN,Ole Miss). The Big Ten had 5 (Iowa,MD,Ohio St.,Ind.,Mich.), the PAC-12 had 4 (Utah,Stanford,UCLA,Colo.). The Big 12 had 3 (Okla.,Texas, Iowa St.). The PAC-12 had no team ranked higher than #8 and the Big 12 no team higher than 17.

There were no changes in head coaches for the top 8 teams in the ACC that I'm aware of. The ACC also puts more teams in the NCAA tournament each year than any other conference. Entering last year's tournament 3 of the ACC teams were without their primary guard due to recent injury (ND,NC St., and FSU).

The portal is far from done with many of the best players still undecided but the winners up to this point are: Baylor, Michigan, Louisville, Miami, VT, WV, UCLA, and USC.

As for the incoming 2023 class the ESPN top 100 shows The SEC with 25, the ACC with 24, the PAC-12 with 19, the Big Ten with 14, and the Big 12 with 8.

While I respect your opinions on here (I do), I think you're underestimating the ACC

I've talked myself into this one in recent weeks. I've always been a fan. She's a pretty good shooter, plays with a ton of energy and a good enough passer to make their bigs better. I think she'll love being on a big stage. I was just concerned that she's a point guard, and Raven's really a point guard, so who will truly have the keys to the offense.

PaoPao was not the #1 PG at Oregon, she mostly played the 2. Raven is the unquestionable #1 PG at SC…no doubts. But PaoPao at the SG slot will share some of the ball handling duties as she did at Oregon. She will be schemed to get her 3 shot from the SG spot however at SC while Raven continues to distribute. Big big pickup for SC as this is the replacement for Cooke In many ways.

I just posted the same comment. Although I guess it’s a good problem to have. Is Fulwiley a pg or sg?
Expand ...
Think of Fulwiley as a faster Zia Cooke. That will be her role at SC. She won’t get as much PT as Zia did because the situation is much different… but the skill sets are similar. Fulwiley will likely assume the go-to scorer role at SC, just like Zia, at some point.

One of the key elements for ND and FSU thus far (the portal is still open until early May) is that neither team has had anyone enter the portal, so both coaches have been working on team retention. As such, both the Irish and Seminoles have been pretty selective in the portal up to this point: FSU has Amaya Bonner, the 6'0" guard from Cal and Alexis Tucker, the 5'11" guard from Santa Barbara; while ND specifically went after combo guard Anna DeWolfe from Fordham as a grad transfer.

A key for both teams is how long their stars (Datson for FSU, Miles for ND) will be out. Those transfer's in could partially answer the question. ND is fortunate also to have freshman Hannah Hidalgo coming onto campus to help on the point guard front, along with DeWolfe, which will allow Sonia Citron to return to off guard/wing.

I’d be SHOCKED if Hailey Van Lith doesn’t go to LSU. Honestly what is she waiting on to announce.. must be creating a video. Lol
Expand ...
If I remember correctly she took forever to announce selecting Louisville. I thought the wait left her with slim pickings as to where to go because so many others had already committed. I mean she could have gone anywhere, but the landscape (rosters) had changed by then. LSU sounds reasonable, but why not Indiana? Stanford?

It may be a while. She has to visit LSU and South Carolina before making her decision.......right? :eek:

Arkansas will be devastated. They were looking at her to replace E Barnum.
Expand ...
Eh, I think devastated is an exaggeration. No doubt they were hoping to land her, but I don't get the impression that they went all in for it. Something was just off about the process, I think. I think she'll do nicely at Auburn, though.

THIS is exactly what I referred to in an earlier post this morning. She left unexpectedly. ALL of the top 100 players coming in this fall from the class of 2023 have committed. Where is the Arkansas coach going to find a replacement at this late date? :eek: Anyone that could possibly help his team this year has already committed.

Auburn over Arkansas is a little puzzling if it isn't a PT decision.
Expand ...
Agreed, but I sort of think it is. I don't think there is anyone standing in the way of her PT at Auburn. At Arkansas, she has to share time with Dauda and possibly Ellis.

Speaking of Arkansas, Rylee Langerman commits to OK State. They had a lot of guards transfer out, and Rylee's PT prospects were shrinking at Arkansas with the arrival of Scott and the return of Goforth. She's a great kid - hope it works out for her.

Great news about Goforth!

You're right: Team Van Lith did decide on Louisville relatively late in the process when she was in high school.
As for now, I've never heard explicitly what drove her decision to enter the portal, whether it was a chance for a ring or NIL potential (gosh knows it wasn't PT or getting enough touches). So, who knows what is going into her/their decision-making process.

As for the two schools you mentioned:
  • Stanford's entry process is very much taking cues from the admissions office, so her curriculum vitae would be scoured before any white smoke came from the farm; and,
  • Indiana. Hmmm. Is she a good fit there? Sarah Scalia played good soldier last year year coming off the bench, but I'm sure she's ready to regain a starting spot. That's one team-centric approach in Bloomington and Hailey Van Lith was used to being the featured player. She and Coach Moren would probably have some pretty straight talks.

Jasmyne Roberts, the wing, will be coming back as Miami's leader per se. If Lattimore can come back and Day-Wilson is given a bit of a leash, this could work....stay tuned.
Expand ...
Missed this reply.

That will be something to watch. Day-Wilson is used to being the leader. Personally I think this is part of why things didn't work out at Duke as it seemed like Taylor emerged as the primary leader of the team.

Now that's an interesting move. Bollin is a ??? since she's never really had much PT following that high-school ending knee injury. And gosh knows, she didn't get off the bench during the ACC part of Duke's schedule.
I almost thought bringing her aboard would be like taking a flyer: have her get into fighting shape and play some back-up. In this case, she could do it for Kendall Bostic, who has played well for Illinois since transferring from Michigan State. Will be following to see how this plays out.

Was thinking of the Bostic example as well. Plus Illinois just hired Britney Anderson, formerly of Stanford and Virgin Tech. She's had decent success in developing post players from what I've seen.

I think I read it on this board, but 1 reason for her to transfer is playing at the next level. She will need to have the ball in her hands and be more of a playmaker. Maybe she believes she would need to go somewhere to get that
 


Really like her game. Good size and a bit physical. Redshirt sophomore so 3 years left. I just don't know what Collen is going to do with all this talent.

Potential starters
1. Jada Walker
2. Sarah Andrews
3. Aijha Blackwell
4. Darianna Littlepage Buggs
5. Dre'una Edwards

Bench
1. Yaya Felder
2. Denae Fritz
3. Ysabella Fontleroy
4. Madison Bartley
5. Letycia Vasconcelos

Jana Van Gytenbeek
