Ayanna entering the transfer portal

[cancontent]

Michigan just beat Uconn last night and all 5 of their starters are transfers.

Let's add some context to these transfers. Look at where these players came from because they considered weren't major contributors at their previous programs. Some could say Illinois, UCLA and UNC whiffed on how they handled them. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Let's keep the discussion here about Ayanna or ...

If she's going back to Indiana, I believe that it will be either Butler, Indiana or Purdue.

That was my thought, too, maybe not Butler now since the coach is leaving.

My opinion, she’s better suited for a mid major if he wants minutes and to make some sort of impact. Too many others who have left with greater potential (Mir, Saylor) never really made a significant dent within the multiple programs they chose, and those were near or at Top25 teams.

Don't disagree, but with a school in between, say a low D1, being a great fit. A few games a year versus top competition would likely prove her skills and help her self respect without being too much to overcome. She will still need teammates that can get her the ball and assist in other areas no matter where she goes.

Godspeed, Yanna! We’ll always love you! 💙💙💙

I never got to see the alley-oop...

But seriously, hope she finds a good fit and balls out

Took a little digging, however here were her finalists in March 2021 - UCLA, UConn, Indiana, Louisville, Notre Dame

Also had a whole slew of offers per Raoul's page - link here.

I have mixed feelings about this news. Clearly, I am sorry to hear Patterson is leaving. When we recruited her, I was very excited to have a player of her athleticism join the team. In my mind's eye, she was a bigger Gabby Williams. She has had a lot of bad luck, injury wise, but it seems that she is finally healthy. I'm sorry to see her go.

On the other hand, she only has a limited amount of college eligibility, and if she feels, she can better use that at a different location, I am completely supportive of that. I wish her the very best.

I just wish her best of luck...and mostly hope she stays healthy.
