2025 Transfer Portal

[southie]

Definitely joking. There couldn't possibly be an actual law about that. Maybe it's changed a bit w/ portal madness, but it seems like there was always a whole lot of intra conference transferring in the SEC whereas everybody else could end up just about anywhere.

Actually, before the days of the portal, the SEC was one of the few conferences where an intra-conference transfer didn't have to lose a year of eligibility while they sat out the one required season. In the Big 12, you lost a season of eligibility if you were an intra-conference transfer.

I know Pac 12 did that for a while, but seems like that rule went away well before the portal. Seemed really dumb to me. Was a way to all but guarantee you would lose some talent out of the conference.

It's a jail break at Notre Dame.

How many scholarship players are left at ND for next season?

 

[Geew1992]

How many scholarship players are left at ND for next season?

4 - Hildago, Prosper, Lacy and Bradsford. And Bradsford pulled out of the portal last year, so ya gotta wonder

Leah Macy also suffered a knee injury earlier this year so who knows if she’ll be able to play the full season next year if at all.

I think Ivey needs to give an interview or put out a press release or something. And just talk about what is going on at her program.

Right after the intramural game she is scouting is over

What do you mean by "Gottlieb's blessing"?

What I mean is, I hope the exit conversation went something like this:
Gayles: "Coach, I'm ready for more playing time."
Gottlieb: "Love that for you! Be ready to compete for it next year because we'll have a stacked roster."
Gayles: "OK, maybe I want to explore opportunities where I know I will get a lot of playing time."
Gottlieb: "OK, I support you if you enter the portal and would be happy to call any coaches who want to talk."

The alternative is Gayles arbitrarily pulling the plug without a thoughtful conversation along those lines.

Hey @Dillon77

Crazy there has yet to be a mention at ESPN WBB about whatever is happening with Notre Dame. It's like they set all their pre-Final Four stories to auto publish and took the week off.

And in Gayles' case with her recovery, is she the same athlete she was? Maybe it's a situation where she needs to look at a different level of competition. Unfortunately a horrible situation impacted Gayles, which really sucks.

Agree. Having spent a lot of time in Crisis Management, you've got to get ahead of it and she's already knee deep in it.
Her athletic director should be joining her in a press conference ASAP.

Hey @Dillon77

The way this week is going...looks like I picked the wrong week to give up....a lot of things.

This will not make a difference this year (or ever), but Luci Jensen is a freshman and is pretty good. She could become a spot player down the road. ND actually had a player like that during the two national championships in Katie Cole, who was from Toledo and actually hit the rotation in 2018-19. She's now on her way to being a doctor if memory serves correctly. Jensen is 5'10" and has promise.

Back to studying the portal.

 

[WBBTakeover]

Come on, Kara! Work your magic, hun. We need a big-bodied center. I saw Little Betts play last night and...whew. My goodness. We need to upgrade ASAP! Move Toby to the 4 and let's go all in.

This one doesn’t shock me at all.

Last Tear Poa not shocking, but interesting.

- she is the plaintiff in legal case designed to get international athletes a visa that will allow them to receive NIL and 'pay to play' while in US.

- she will be a 1 yr grad transfer.

- Mulkey was extremely loyal to her as an LSU national champ, but her playing time was shrinking.

- this gives more opportunity for Day-Wilson, Richard, Gilbert and incoming freshmen a chance to play more.

Very interesting to see her landing spot, not a bad thing for LSU.

 

[UConnCat]

The six-figure amounts being offered to these players are crazy. One SEC out-bid another SEC school by $300k for a player. The bidding for that player probably hasn't stopped!

Day-Wilson has used up her eligibility as she entered college in 2021. Unlike her friend Lattimore who had an injury, she's never missed a season.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this done on the women’s side, when a mass exodus happens to a program. Other than asking a coach why a certain player transferred out. But I hope it happens. We won’t get the truth but it will be fun to watch

Which player is this?

Allegedly Samayah Smith was offered 300K from a Texas school…

NCAA has lost the plot. The portal in combination with NIL unregulated has turned sports into a mess

Not all bad news. It looks like I have a real chance this year. SO…if you don’t hear from me…I’m in South Bend.

You may not have, but it's a lot more common than you may think. The transfer portal lists have several teams with more players than what ND has currently.

Ah, so you're the player version of coachjumper ("I can be there in 20 minutes").

Oh man......is it even safe to mention that name here?
