2026 Transfer portal

I think if the right Big were available UConn would be interested. I really like the freshman from Syracuse, although there is no indication at present that she’s considering transferring.
Syracuse announced she's returning for 2026 which was posted in the ACC thread I believe.
 
My gut says Cooper goes to Ole Miss or Duke. From what I remember of her recruiting, I think she stays regional and she wants to go to a team with potential to go far into the tournament. Those were two teams she entertained during her high school recruiting (and which also retain the same staff). My bet is she goes to Duke and fills the void left from Ashlon Jackson graduating.

There was already a post somewhere from Syracuse social media that she's already already announced she's returning. They got that NIL offer locked up!

The only player I could see UConn being interested in is a 3-point shooter. That's the biggest loss with Azzi's graduation.
What % is an acceptable shooting %, and or, how many shots average a game?

Duke is limited to what they can get in the portal. They can only accept grad transfers or rising soph or juniors. Due to the admissions office only taking 50% of the credits from your previous school. I’m not familiar with Cooper’s academic status.

Yes, this. Like an Avery Howell tbh. I was confident it could be Allie. But her tournament performance has spooked me a bit. The offense stands to miss Azzi quite a bit next season.

I have seen a couple of videos and graphics including UConn as possible landing spots for Audi. And I just don’t agree at all. I wish her luck. Big 10 or ACC landing spot imo.

Wow! News to me. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot...

If the UConn coaches give Allie the same kind of opportunity they gave Shade and run some offense through her, I believe she will be very productive on offense. She rarely forces a shot, is almost always under control, and she passes well. Her defense is a thing in progress. I believe she deserves a shot at the shooting guard position.

From an athletic standpoint, maybe. But…universities are supposed to be academic institutions first and foremost. Elite academic institutions have transfer credit restrictions to ensure the quality of their graduates. That is, they guarantee the majority of the student’s credits came from that institution. Otherwise, there’d be lots of students transferring huge amounts of credits to an elite institution just to get the elite “name.”

Frankly, I admire the policy as it does reinforce the concept of STUDENT-athlete. Of course, I am a retired professor, so I’m biased toward academics (although also understanding the benefits of successful athletics). Ideally, they’d work together to enhance the reputation of the university.
