Del Rosario has not been playing very much. There was a point where I thought she was injured. But nope, just not getting playing time.

 

[Zonepress]

Born in Brooklyn, moved to Toronto, played HS in Canada, college in Wisconsin. Why on earth would she consider USC?

Surely you say this in jest
Let’s see a chance to play with the best player in college basketball team that will be competing for the national championship a team that’s losing both it’s big players and probably a whole Lotta NIl
Money
I would have no idea what this players intentions would be, but it safe to say that Usc
Will be attractive place for any big player

The more I read, the more I am concerned that the Portal is now a place to put your bio and wait for offers ($). Is the part about going to college for an education, competition and camaraderie a thing of the past?

Why wouldn't she? Not clear on your argument here.

Not to mention she's played against them once this season. Having a real life sense of the type of team she could be playing with instead of against is additional insight for her.

Sadly I think for the most part that is correct.

For who though? This sounds like it applies to a small percentage of those who receive a scholarship when you think of the entire NCAAW landscape. The majority are focused on the degree. That's not changing.

Might be my old man "get off my lawn" showing through. You see all the t-shirts about family and togetherness, etc., and then you see the players bail out at the drop of a hat to pursue family and togetherness somewhere else. I find myself not buying into the sloganeering. So at least the camaraderie I think is dead. Dedication to pursuing a degree probably depends on the player.

Sadly, that's our culture as a whole. This isn't a problem soley in collegiate sports. The idea of people being in for anything together as group doesn't carry the same weight like it used to.

One reason I enjoy and support my favorite D3 team (Whitman College)...playing for the fun of the game and being on a "team."

All the years I've lived in Washington...and I still always get Whitman and Whitworth mixed up.

A point guard will be UConn’s main priority. Plus, Azzi Fudd needs to announce her intentions soon. If she leaves then a shooting guard may come first. But for one year Williams sure sounds good.

Let's put this to bed once and for all. Geno said ideally he'd like to know players' intent with respect to the draft, however that doesn't mean the decision will be made public before the end of the NCAA tourney. From my perspective, any portal activity by UConn is mostly under wraps. There were rumors about Evina Westbrook, however no pics of campus visit, and then all of a sudden, voila! pictures on instagram with her whole family wearing UConn shirts. For Chen, it was a decent assumption that she would end up at UConn, however nothing official until her announcement. We were supposedly in the running for Beers, however no pics of her on campus, unlike a lot of other transfer activity at other schools.

I'm guessing del Rosario transfers after getting almost no playing time this year. Wolfenbarger is tall but not starter material IMO.

And grace Knox is averaging 8 points per game and has been the 3rd or 4th best player on her own HS team this season.

Not sure why she is so highly rated. Could be Del Rosario 2.0

To be fair Del Rosario hasn’t looked great during the games I’ve watched. It sometimes appears she is running in sand. I’ve seen numerous occasions where she had difficulty staying in front of the player she was guarding and she isn’t very quick off the floor.

Could be. I expect Mulkey to get someone experienced from the portal. I'm not convinced S'mya Smith will be Morrow's replacement.

Knox, Wolfenbarger, Smith, DelRosario and in a pinch Williams, by committee.

Mulkey may take 1 portal big.

Point guard, LOL, always an option. Still they have Day-Wilson, Shepherd, Richards, and Gilbert still floating around, plus the new Freshmen.

We may all be surprised to watch Mulkey roll now with her current roster.

In a recent game where Morrow was out, Wolfenbarger and Smith both posted double doubles. They are not as awful as they get credit for.

Mulkey, from her press conferences, clearly understands that both are slender forwards, not big bangers. DelRosario being developed as a banger. Wolfenbarger is actually a hs guard, who all of a sudden one day was 6'4". Handled right, she can be a tough matchups for bigs.

I could be way off, but all appear quite happy. I'm under no illusion that they will be all-americans, but they can be competent SEC front court players, especially when they get more minutes.

There will be attrition; there is every offseason at LSU. Wolfenbarger is not a power forward based on her physique. Neither is Del Rosario.
