Destiny Slocum picks Oregon State

[Carnac]

Destiny Slocum, who helped lead Maryland to the Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles in women's basketball last season, announced via Twitter on Monday that she's heading to Oregon State.

The Big Ten freshman of the year said last month that she was transferring from Maryland.

Thanks for posting that Carnac! Another big name player chooses her destination. The "transfer thread" is so long and unwieldy that I almost never open it. If we can have a zillion threads on types of music, we certainly can stomach a separate thread when a big time player decides to transfer, or chooses a new destination.

It was inevitable that Oregon State would get a player of this caliber. But now we know it's Destiny.

Oregon State--the Beavers, not the Ducks.

Oregon did not get a player of this caliber.
Oregon St did.

Duly corrected.

I'd say Oregon already had a player of this caliber in Ionescu.

Oh come on, it's a pun!! Man, The Boneyard is a tough audience today.

I liked your post. It was already corrected before I read it. I'm not picking on you, I was pointing out to vowelguy that UO's Ionescu is at least comparable to now OSU's Slocum.

 

[MilfordHusky]

My guess is that Slocum and Ionescu wouldn't want to play with each other. Each likes to have the ball in her hands.

The Pac 12 goes through the State of Oregon, followed by UCLA and Stanford.

My apologies. I looked for the transfer thread before I posted this. I always look to see if someone else posted the material or item I'm going to post. I don't knowingly duplicate a post.

Not sure about that. This coming season, UCLA is loaded with many talented upper classmen. UO is still young. Slocum has to sit out one season.

This makes a good deal of sense. Oregon State lost an all american guard to the draft, but remains a highly competitive team. Destiny will lead them after sitting for a year, per NCAA rules.
