She was dismissed from South Carolina, so she had to transfer somewhere. Per @TheFarmFan , she opted to follow Barnes to SMU, so I get that decision. Time will tell as to whether this decision was a wise one once we see where she ends up.
Something significant had to have prompted this. Considering she's a key part of rotation, the timing stands out to me.
I think Jah and Barker are cut from a similar cloth. They will get in their own way for the rest of their lives unless they change/grow up.
Well, we are talking about 18-22 year olds. I got in my own way when I was that age (and beyond), and THANK GOD, I did not have to do it on a national stage with strangers making comments about it. I don’t think I would have made it. And I say that seriously.
Well, there's the "student" aspect (which you are choosing to overlook) of the student-athlete experience that comes into play here. If you're transferring every year, how are you going to meet the requirements for graduation?
Is that part of the transfer negotiations? Asking, because I don't know - but could a school that normally only allows 2 years of credits to transfer, just waive that for basketball player it really wants to join the team as a senior?
You nailed it. That's exactly what some schools do. They make it convenient for transfer after 1-2-3-4 years by being extremely flexible in accepting transfer credits.
I think it will be more than 4. Why would anyone stay??
