April Transfer thread

[southie]

So, players do actually leave the Iowa Hawkeyes program . . .

 

[stwainfan]

A good one for Tennessee to get.

Anyone got a quick summary about how she plays and her game?

Although Affolter is from Illinois, she has commuted to Iowa to play for the All Iowa Attack AAU club team of which Clark and a number of other past, present, and future Iowa players are alumni.

If you're interested, you can read discussion about Affolter and other Iowa recruits on the Iowa Board. (I've linked to the appropriate page of the appropriate thread.) I recommend the comments from a user named BraydonRoberts5. Also, if you're interested you can find her high school's full games on YouTube.

Here's a Chicago Tribune article. She's a solid, all-round player and while this article does not dwell on the techncalities (see Undersized's suggestions for that), note how her coach says she'll do whatever is needed for the team. And the focus on rebounding, scrapping. That's what I've heard from Domer friends who have seen her play.

Marist’s Sydney Affolter is the 2020-21 Daily Southtown Girls Basketball Player of the Year: ‘A player like her comes along once or twice in a lifetime’

She can’t deny it. Marist senior Sydney Affolter gets a kick out of it when she outlifts some of the guys at the local health club. “I would go with my dad and my brother,” Affolt…

Cosgrove to St Johns

Interestingly, both Danielles, who initially went to Notre Dame, have ended up at St. John's

Dani Patterson is a Brooklyn native who went to HS in Queens. After ND and a two-year stint at Indiana (where she graduated), she's come home, too. Apparently, she's starting law school at SJU, so this all works.

Danielle Cosgrove is from Holtsville in Suffolk Country, which is further down the LIE (east) a bit, but not too far away for her parents to catch each game.

SJU was not good last year: 8-15 overall and 4-12 in the Big East. They kept opponents to 67.8 ppg, but only scored 63 ppg themselves. That was largely due to Qadashah Hoppie, their leading scorer, getting injured/opting out after 8 games. That was 18.0 ppg gone (To make matters worse, she transferred to Texas A&M, joining Jordan Nixon). Starting center Raven Farley had a year left, but graduated and left.

So there's opportunities, particularly at the center spot for Danielle Cosgrove.

And they'll join guard Leilani Correa, the junior guard from New Jersey who averaged 17.6 ppg and made Big East end-of-year teams. She's WNBA-level talent and I'm sure both Dani's know her from AAU days.

Good luck to them both, back on the Island (I'm a native LI'er and my dad got his masters from SJU, so I'm a bit biased!)

Ok now it's serious

 

[CBus13]

Everyone wants Q's players.

Everyone wants Q's players.

This one for sure

Hope she stays in the ACC

Kentucky with Rhyne Howard and Treasure Hunt

 

[DaBball]

Kentucky with Rhyne Howard and Treasure Hunt

Or Texas. Missisippi State was one of her finalists and Vic could use a post player.

 

[bballnut90]

Ok now it's serious

Wow. Her finalists were Mississippi State, Ohio State, and South Carolina. Ohio State could be an option, especially with Dorka leaving for UCONN. I don't see Mississippi State happening with a different coaching staff, and South Carolina is overloaded with talent as is. Whoever lands her is hitting the jackpot.

The ship be sinking.

Dead accurate.

DYING!!!!!

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Auburn with Johnnie Harris is a possibility.

Knew this was coming for a while

 

[Dillon77]

Wuh-oh.
Coach Q might find himself the subject of another thread -- the coaching hot seat -- with this one.
At one point, someone could justify the massive flight of players to the portal as the turnover of a roster from the "old(er)" to the new/younger. Not any longer: Cardosos was the centerpiece of the new.

 

[militarydog]

Ok now it's serious

She is going to have to change her cell number soon.

 

[Dwilliams02]

She is going to have to change her cell number soon.

Kim Mulkey better add her on the bus to LSU. Just kidding. But I do know Mulkey will be calling her at Baylor

 

[MSSportsGuy]

I would definitely want know, were I the AD, why an entire roster felt the need to transfer out of the university. The part of me that doesn't like what has happened with immediate eligibility and the portal says this is just how kids today behave but I would have to wonder what is going on to cause such an exodus.

Cardoso will be wanted by many but it wouldn't shock me to see her wind up with Vic at TX.

 

[UcMiami]

Ok now it's serious

Not to worry - she's headed to Uconn! We need yet another big.

Edit: I was one who that 9 of the 11 were obvious transfers and that it signified nothing re Syracuse/Coach Q.
This transfer suggests there is a serious problem.

Coaches are lining up like
