I believe there is confusion here between interest and offer. With UConn's roster of guards, I doubt that Auriemma would commit this quickly to one with 3 years of eligibility left by offering. Especially with only one roster spot open at this time.
I didn’t think the fires were close to USC?
Yeah, UCLA was much more affected, and its campus was on evacuation alert for several scary touch and go days. Of all the reasons for entering the portal, I don't see that as a big one.
Aaliyah Gayles was the first announced, but I haven't heard who the fourth was.
Dominique Darius, I believe.
Because she’s by far the most talented.Why? It doesn’t raise a red flag that EVERYBODY else on her team is leaving? Don’t you know how particular Dawn is that she brings in? Read the room.
Another heavy loss for USC
I just don't know how anyone would choose to be in the coaching profession any more. You work hard to build a team...and then half of them leave. On a yearly basis. It's almost pointless now. Every day I inch closer to just quitting following college sports. There's so much about it now that I do not like.
If I read correctly somewhere, the B1G spreads the games out, you have to have 2 days off between games. This makes the travel even more awkward, but accounts for gaps between when teams played (for example) UCLA and USC.
Is it worth it? Like mentioned previously in this thread, some very high profile men's coaches walked away from the game, when they had plenty of years left they could've kept coaching. They were getting paid a lot more than $ million a year. Obviously for some the answer is "no" it's not worth it, regardless of the money.
Some of his comments are annoying but theres no doubt Raoul does a fabulous job with maintaining these lists.

Weather or natural disasters could play a role in a transfer’s decision. However, it is probably near or at the bottom (if anywhere) on their attribute list. A few recent examples: Angel Reese transferred to LSU, ground zero for Gulf Coast hurricanes. Beers transferred to Oklahoma in the middle of tornado alley, Lara Somfai selected Stanford despite its being close to the fault line. I imagine NIL $$$$$ and playing time are more likely to influence their decision.
USC looks like a perfect spot for Miles from Notre Dame with Kiki gone. They’ll be money for her because that’s probably what she’s looking for the rumor of Connecticut seems like a false hope situation. If she is hunting a national championship attempt, then Connecticut actually becomes a possibility, but the money would be on the West Coast.

It's always about the money.
