Well, she won a WNIT title with Coach Langley at Rice; plus Mulkey is probably thinking she could use some P5 (re)freshening experience Why not follow the Coach to Seattle? See another part of the country, to boot ;)
Stay tuned.

Not a big name here, but really cool story: Taylor Muff, who played four years of collegiate volleyball for Northern Colorado, is using her extra year of eligibility to play a different sport! She'll be playing basketball for University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.

Great signing by Nebraska. The Big 10 could have 7 teams ranked in the preseason Top 25 poll.

Who woulda thunk -- a NYC to College Station pipline? Wonder if there is a connection to Jordan Nixon who might know Ms. Hoppie via the HS and/or AAU scene in "the city?"
 
I would have loved Hoppie in a Terps uniform. Imagine how many three pointers she would have hit with Owusu passing the ball to her.

I've been not shy about saying that while I believe student athletes have the right to transfer wherever they want, I believe the one year sit out rule should be in place. A waiver should only occur in rare and extreme cases. The NCAA has opened pandoras box granting waivers to some and denying others. They can solve this by making all transfers sit for one year and not simply turning every off season into a free for all, which is what will happen.

This isn't being done to benefit the students, it's being pushed by the schools who want to poach athletes from programs and build rosters quickly with lower risk-rewards.

Wait, what? Are you saying that NEBRASKA will be ranked in the Top 25 next year? No way. I am not convinced Amy Williams has that kind of talent nor coaching acumen to be in the Top 25 next year. nor do I think the Big10 has 7 teams to warrant that either. Who are these 7 that you refer? Maryland, Indiana, Michigan and Iowa are very probable. Rutgers is not, MSU is not, tOSU is not, so I just don't see it. What am I missing.
 
The problem I have with the sit-out waiver is that there are a lot of reasons to grant a waiver, but a lot of it needed to be kept private, and that meant it always seemed very arbitrary. And given the NCAA track record most believed it was arbitrary/political/a joke and created inequality.

I actually like the idea of a single free, non-sit-out year in women's basketball - basically saying, OK, you made a mistake, we'll give you a do over, but only one, so get it right this time. A second transfer will cost you a year of eligibility or a year on the pine - your choice. And no waivers the second time around.

In men's sports ... ugh - it creates a farm system out of the non-P5 schools and will absolutely hurt the competitive landscape - the non P5 star players can do a year of marketing at a powerhouse before entering the NBA draft for example.

Northwestern, Rutgers, & Michigan State all received votes in the final coaches poll. Probable? No. Possible? yes.

Let's look at the "big picture"-there are 5 sports that required the 1 year in residency, Men's and Women's basketball, Football, Men's Ice Hockey and Baseball. All the other sports allow student athletes to transfer without exception. As the residency had been so restrictive and with the extra year of eligibility granted, there is a flood gate for the two main sports of Men's and Women's basketball. I haven't seen the numbers for football but do suspect that is less due to less D1 men's teams. I suspect it will subside a bit after next year.

The problem I have is what to do with a student who plays for a school, transfers, plays for another school, gets hurt, sits a year (or just sits a year due the current transfer rule), graduates and then transfers again to a 3rd school for a year. I think after the second school, all transfers should have to sit a year even if you did graduate as that next "goal" of grad school is to be considered for your educational effort, not a free ride to play. Dorka would qualify to play as she had not transferred previously, however Anastasia Hayes from Tennessee to Middle Tennessee to Mississippi State should have to sit a year. In other words, you get 1 free pass but after that, you must sit.

That would severely limit all these excessive transfers and show more integrity for the "grad student" transfer.

That's not a bad idea and one that does meet in the middle. I still don't agree with the one free transfer idea but that's just because I'm old school. It would be better than just "you get a transfer, you get a transfer, we all get transfers".

I get irritated when I hear the "punishing the student" line. The transferring student in on scholarship, gets to practice with the team, take part in activities, get all the academic and social support the other players do, they just can't play in games for one year. That's not a punishment, it's a part of transferring. When I enrolled at MSU I had a partial scholarship based on my high school GPA and ACT score. I did well at MSU, between a 3.5 and 3.6 somewhere and kept the scholarship the entire time. Had I chosen to transfer to Auburn, which arguably has a stronger engineering school, no one would have stopped me but I would not have received any institutional money. When I hear that "we don't punish the non athletic students that transfer" that's largely because the tuition is being paid by the student or their families, loans, etc. (sorry, rant over).

The grad transfer rule has definitely been exploited and yes we benefited from Anriel Howard but I know it had little to do with academics and the large majority of them don't. . I honestly expect the NCAA to blow the doors open and create de facto free agency even more than before because there is "pressure" (from whom no one knows but there is always this faceless pressure).
