Is Grant a PG? If Harpring is as advertised, UNC has a showrunner from day one

I'm not sure. Just thought that Grant and Aarnisalo were a nice pair of soph guards.

I'd love to see a system that rewards players that aren't changing schools every year.
Maybe every transfer counts as 1.5 scholarships against the limit on the team you transfer to.
2nd transfer, you now count as 2 scholarships.
Halfway not serious, but maybe a little bit serious....LOL

Quite a while ago wasn't there some kind of 5/8 rule? If you added more than 5 transfers in one year or 8 in 2 years you got penalized somehow. Maybe loss of a scholly. But it obviously went out the window, probably not long after being instituted. This was way before the portal madness, but even back whenever it was someone recognized a problem with too much player movement.

If Harpring can stay healthy. Looks like her shoulder was badly re-injured in the McDonald's AA Game.

Her defense is...not good, IMO. Banghart did a great job of hiding her enough on nonscorers for UNC to win the games they should win, but she was a liability against better teams (or teams that had guards who could break her down).

I honestly don't think she can start in the SEC and I'm not sure how much she'd play for SEC contenders. TCU seems more of her speed if she wants to have a chance at starting.

Her Hoops does not like her defense. Tending to agree on second analysis.

Player will enroll at new school. Walk to gym and ask to play. If denied, they will sue to play in local State Court.

Court will issue injunction allowing "student at school to try out for team at that school", while actual court case grinds thru the system.

This rule, and portal in general, sets up an artificial barrier for student/athlete/employees to change jobs and/or compete in athletics for their school.

I'd prefer the old system too, but NCAA has not won a court case in about 20 years.

That's not even true. The NCAA won on appeal in O'Bannon and that was barely a decade ago.

Sure 😉. It's an interesting idea though because it's financial deterrent in a sense.
