Boley was 7th in minutes for ND, behind starters Allen, Turner, Mabrey, Ogunbowale, and Westbeld and behind classmate Jackie Young.  She was very much part of the rotation as a freshman and got more minutes as she showed improvement later in the season.  If she expected she was going to come in and start right from day 1, unrealistic expectations were the problem, not Muffets minutes distribution.  And she *did* start 10 games when Westbeld missed some time.

Patberg had injury after injury.  You almost felt she was cursed.  I don't blame her for wanting to get a fresh start.

I understand the concern, though.  Transfers are becoming more and more frequent everywhere.  However, historically players than transfer away from UConn don't become stars at their new school.  If you have what it takes, you find a way to meet Geno's expectations and emerge a better player for doing so.  If you can do that, maybe you didn't have what it took to begin with.
