Will be interesting to see how things play out for Hylton. She's had her ups and downs the last couple seasons due to injuries and coaching changes.

We need multiple bigs this portal cycle also. As I predict that ADR will portal out...

So I'll take Serah Williams, Breya Cunningham, and Pierre(if its true).

She did have Texas as one of her finalists out of high school. But, UCLA and USC weren't generating as much buzz back then as they are now. She probably returns to southern California

In most cases, I'd agree, but in Lattimore's case I don't. This has been a pattern since high school with her and Day-Wilson, starting with their transfer to Royal Crown (which had never existed until then) when Aaliyah Edwards and Crestwood's 2020 class graduated.

You and I have discussed this ad infinitum. Lattimore is on record for saying Coach Mox is the first person to challenge her day-in, day-out and Lattimore -- following the loss to ND -- produced, with her best stretch of her career. And she wants to leave? Just what is the thinking or her or her team?

Huh? If this happens, my sincerest "sorry for your loss" to Vandy fans. I know there's often more than what meets the eye, but the team is getting better every year, she's a major driver for it, Shea Ralph and staff appear to be a positive influence and next year could be "take-offs-ville." Plus, there's that Vandy degree. So what is she after? Being the clear star to help with NIL or draft positioning in 2027?
If she's not happy in Nashville, maybe I get it, but I'll be very interested in where she ends up. Yikes.

Latasha Lattimore is an interesting test case for the power of Alexis Ohanian's donation. She had what I would consider to be an All-ACC season (even though she wasn't named to either team). By all accounts, she would be someone that UVA should try hard to retain.

Her hopping into the portal is proof to me that if you're 6'4/6'5 and reasonably athletic, you will have your fair share of offers at good to elite programs. This means that those players run the portal. UVA having money to offer could be good for them, but it isn't enough--especially when the likes of Southern Cal, Tennessee, LSU, etc. can offer money AND recent basketball success. UVA, on the other hand, hasn't been remotely successful since 2008.

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.

Hey YoDore - I hope the reports are wrong and Pierre stays to form the core along with Blakes of the roster fostering the rebirth of Vanderbilt’s WBB program under Coach Ralph’s direction.
Question: Has Vanderbilt with its prestige and presumably deep pocketed alumni had success developing its NIL base? Has WBB garnered any of those funds?

I debate the word "thinking" when it comes to her team. Nothing they've done has made sense long term for her or Day-Wilson so far.

Their primary handler had visions of touting these two as a Canadian WNBA tandem like no one had ever seen. Since then, they've been surpassed by younger players in the Canada Basketball development stream with players like Swords and Prosper repping the national team before they get a chance.

Time will tell. As she has "do not contact", I'm assuming her handler has something in place already.

I don't dislike your answer, just how this young woman has managed/had her career managed.

In an interview a few months back, Paul Grindstaff, the executive director of Anchor Impact, the Vanderbilt NIL collective, said the women's program is in good shape:

“I’m happy to report that our women’s basketball is top level. When I say that, it’s not five figures, it’s not six figures…so, the more we get in the war chest, the better off we can be, and that’s where we believe we’re headed.”

That would seem to indicate a healthy amount, though I'm sure the program doesn't have the same resources as the true blue bloods of the sport.

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

Actually I think it’s 4 (or 5) schools in 5 years. She had at least 1 redshirt year. And it makes me feel sad for Coach Mox as well. She gave her an opportunity, UVA now has a good nil “fund”. Don’t know why she’d leave?

If Khamil believes that she'll be playing basketball for a long time (and I've seen nothing to suggest that she can't have a long PROSPEROUS basketball career), then I can see her wanting to move to a program that will give her more exposure for basketball (e.g., LSU, Tennessee, Maryland). But man, I don't think I'd want to give up a shot at a Vanderbilt degree. She's very young, so maybe the 40-year outlook isn't on her mind at this point in her life.

She's leveraging her redshirt for this upcoming season. She's only been out one season due to injury during her college career.
 
There's a jail break at State Penn.
Who's left?
