Then why didn't she transfer to Ole Miss one season ago when Hillsman was hired by Yolette?

Your guess is as good as mine. Most of us familiar with her here in Canada thought Ole Miss was where she and Day-Wilson were going.

Are there teams showing for Latson? On3 referring to some "powerhouses"

Iowa women’s basketball freshman Aaliyah Guyton enters transfer portal

Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball freshman Aaliyah Guyton has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Apologies for the double post

Agree, this was rumored but still a bit surprising since PG for next season is wide open unless they are saying Deal is the PG or have an inside track on signing a portal add for the slot.

Didn't the Stanford coach say they weren't losing anyone??

I don't think Stanford allows 5th years if she is truly a grad transfer after 4 years of college. This may be why she is in the portal.

No, it didn’t show any rumors of players interested in certain programs. I just put in LSU for Cotie since it’s been reported in various spots

Wow, that is a big surprise. She will be a massive pickup for whoever lands her. She did a heck of a job defending Betts yesterday and has a solid face up game. She was a strong contributor off the bench on their 2023 title team too and her sister was a star for Kim at Baylor. I believe she has 2 years of eligibility left and could be the missing piece for a potential Final Four/championship team.

With Morrow's departure LSU's frontcourt is entirely without established players. There's not really a world where she doesn't get minutes next year. Probably testing the market...

Maybe an offer wasn't extended when she averaged just 5.6 ppg and 3.1 rpg at Miami a season ago? I'm sure she had a much bigger pool of schools to pick from this time after averaging 14.3/8.2.
For as much flack as she's getting for transferring so much, at face value I think all but this current one seems quite "fair" for lack of a better work:
-Originally committed to Syracuse, her coach resigned so she reopened recruitment and chose Texas
-Left Texas the same month Taylor Jones was picked up in the portal. Lattimore was going to be buried on the bench for at least 2 years behind Jones/Moore/Gaston if she stayed, so she left for Miami.
-Played 2 seasons at Miami, her coach retired after the 2024 season. Understandably she left rather than stick around and play for the replacement.

In each situation (besides Virginia) she likely left due to a coaching change or lack of playing time.
Expand ...

Lattimore announced her transfer out of Texas on April 12, 2022. Taylor Jones took visits to Arizona, Oklahoma, and Texas before choosing Texas on April 23, 2022. Plus, they don't play the same position. Jones is a true Center. LL is not.

LL left Texas because she wanted to play on the wing instead of Power Forward, and Texas was kind of stacked at PF. Was told LL did not like contact and being physical and wanted to float around the perimeter instead of playing inside. Plus, I believe the assistant coach who had the connection to LL was April Phillips who left Texas to become the head coach at San Jose State.

But, yes, Texas wanted her to play PF and Moore and Gaston were ahead of her on the depth chart.

This is why Texas raised eyebrows to some of us up here. She wasn't coached to be an in-the-paint post player while she was at Crestwood. She typically played 3/4 and they had another player be the 5.

Teri Moren runs a tight ship and has lost a player or two here or there, but this is a whole-scale fire drill. Wow.
And to think they just played S. Carolina as tough as the next team.
Did the players think that without Chloe or Sydney, there was no chance for next year (which doesn't say a lot about their own self-confidence) or maybe there's something about Moren that was wearing thin and those two leaders kept the ship together?

At this point, it looks like IU will be joining Penn State and Rutgers (whose season just ended at Buffalo in the WNIT) as total rebuilds (if possible).
Expand ...
Moren had issues with players leaving when she was at Indiana State, before she took the IU job. I didn't understand IU hiring her to begin with considering her record at ISU was just 69-57 over 3 years.
She was lucky Tyra Buss stayed committed and having Ali Patberg and Mackenzie Holmes for 5 years definitely helped her.
But by my count, she's had 31 players at IU that didn't finish their careers there that came through her tenure.

LSU board- someone who works in the AD said Mulkey was wanting to retire within the next two years after the end of last season. Allegedly has gotten tired of dealing with some of the stuff going on behind the scenes and that her assistant coaches are 'basically useless' outside of Starkey (on brink of retirement) and has been too lazy to start over and hire new staff.

Hard to see her retiring after signing potentially one of the best classes of her coaching career but who knows what is going on...

Seems kind of crazy that she'd retire less than 2 years after signing a 10 year $30 million contract, and after signing the #1 recruiting class. Plus she has future WNBA lottery picks Flau'jae and Williams on the roster next year. Who knows though.

Apples and oranges, but it was fairly shocking when Jay Wright and then later Tony Bennett stepped away in men's hoops. Everything has changed so much the last few years, if a coach decides they just don't want to do it anymore, I can understand.

Dealing with portal/NIL she has made it pretty clear she hates dealing with it, she puts up with it because thats what you have to now in college athletics with any sport.

On the contrary allegedly Cotie and another "big" transfer recruit are visiting LSU over the next week so if thats true then maybe she still in it.. Like I said I'd think she coaches that top recruiting class for a couple seasons before throwing in the towel. I do think Mulkey health scare last year over delegation set them back a bit though...

Her and Poa both got suspended/dealt with internally and actually both were fortunate not to be dismissed after that physical altercation in the offseason...
