Okay. Narrowing the parameters changes the outcome.
Obviously Barnes is getting diminishing returns and her time in Tucson may be coming to an end. NAU had a really good season and their fans have reason to be optimistic about the future. Hey I like Payne, she's a Husky as I'm sure I've reminded you before.
You mean this is the first time YOU'RE hearing about it.

Was fully expected when she didn't play in the WBIT. It was announced ahead of time that it was her choice, she would be in pain but couldn't hurt herself further. In the same condition (different specific injury) Skyler Jones chose to play. Said she didn't want to be in the WBIT but since she was she was going to give it her all. Said that Cunningham and Beh also gave their all. Noted that some others didn't. Sounded like a call out of Williams to me.
Hope she finds a good fit. She was a great leader and one of the few players that knew what was supposed to happen on specific plays. But wasn't really a great point guard and wasn't consistent shooting / scoring. Many fan's take was she thought she was better than she was. My take was she was the best player on the team, but we needed a better player ("star") to be successful.

She isn't toxic, that has never been the problem. Almost all players actually like her. But I don't think her coaching style is really compatible with today's players - as I recently read, she is "pro style". Everything is based on waiting your turn, being a teammate, earning your minutes and especially playing defense. For example, I really liked Madison Conner, but I didn't blame her for leaving - she was never going to be anything but a specialist coming in to hit 3's in Adia's world. I have never understood Adia's substitution patterns.
Wouldn't you want to leave and go somewhere you might go deep in the tournament? Adia doesn't build a team well, folks are always playing out of position, etc.
To top it all off, she announced in the paper that she is giving up on developing players from high school and just want's players that can win from the portal. This was what got her in hot water for recruiting over her existing players before the current class - however, I will remind everyone that she only lost one player to the portal from last year, and that was for (good) academic reasons.
Sam Thomas played her entire career at Arizona.
TCU could use a point guard and a big with Van Lith and Prince leaving.
Wasn’t she down to LSU and Miami before before eventually committing to Miami

Oye. Heading onto her fourth school. Feel bad for Coach Mox.

Was really hoping this wouldn't happen but there's been a lot of speculation surrounding her leaving after this year. I wouldn't be surprised if she's shopping for a payday as she wasn't highly recruited out of HS and will now command a high price tag for her next program. Man what a bummer for Shea and Vandy.

These are the transfers that burn me up. Four schools in four years is beyond silly.

It is crazy but she likely wants to get $$. Let's see if Vandy puts up the money.

These girls ain't loyal.
One reason I don’t like the portal being open right now is that it seems a little unfair to players that are on teams that are still playing games. 16 teams left in the ncaa tournament and some teams left in other postseason tournaments. There are definitely some players on those teams that want to go into the portal. And they have to stand by and watch other players potentially go where they wanted to go.
It’s pretty unfair.

I feel like she's been around a lot longer than 4 years.

Technically the fifth school for Lattimore if you include Syracuse where she signed her original LOI. Then Texas, Miami, and Virginia.

Yep. There has been no confirmation from Pierre or Vanderbilt, which is somewhat odd. If you are actually entering the portal all you have to do is say so, and the university does the paperwork and makes the official entry.

May I ask where you heard such speculation? I haven't heard a word, and I'm pretty dialed in to the program. Not saying it isn't true, but I simply have not heard it.

The reason I chafe with respect to Lattimore is that I'm familiar with the people who advise her and these actions contradict what they promote as part of their Sister's Keeper brand. Both she and Day-Wilson have been touted as success stories coming out of the inner city of Toronto. What success has she accomplished through bouncing around schools? The problem is that the people they tell this to won't know the full story and fall for it.
