I Think It's A Little Jinxy | The Boneyard

I Think It's A Little Jinxy

And isn't the Summer Semester right around the corner (around 2nd)? Meaning time is getting shorter to complete the transfer and enrollment process.

Honestly, I have considered the possibility that Heckel will return to USC. Gracie Merkle changing her mind about Maryland is to blame; that just really planted the idea in my head.

That and It has just been awfully quiet around her. None of her suitors seem to be showcasing any kind of confidence about her arrival.

The quietness just could say more about Notre Dame than anything else. We know UConn can typically stay silent. If Notre Dame can as well, it is possible that no one has leaked the decision.

I don't think there is any reason to delay on announcing a return to USC. But we will see.

Stay calm, Boneyarders, remember almost everyone was going nuts that Sarah Strong was going everywhere else but UConn and she said UConn was her ONLY choice!
If Serah Williams was so impressed with her UConn visit that I'm betting the farm that Kayleigh Heckel saw the same things when they visited together!

ND hasn’t exactly been silent. Coach Ivie has indicated only that they have several “grad transfers” lined up, which would preclude Kayleigh Heckel as a possibility.

Beyond that, Irish fans have generally indicated their disappointment with the HC, the dearth of HS recruits over the past few seasons, the departure of Miles, Watson & Koval to the portal and a relatively average group of inbound transfers.

I do feel for our good friends from ND. It’s not a happy time for WBB in South Bend. There is real concern that the Irish could be looking at another season similar to 2019-2020, MM’s last season, when ND went 13-18.

Frankly, i was surprised Kayleigh decided to transfer in the first place given who was leaving. This led me to think there might be a deeper problem at USC, maybe in Lindsay’s locker room. Or maybe she didn’t want to be on a rebuilding team. Or maybe she just wanted to be closer to home.

Her reason for transferring would probably indicate where she’s going and I’m sure we’ve all rehearsed these. ND or Vandy look attractive in some scenarios. UConn looks attractive in others. Taking a long time to announce may also be an indicator.

At UConn she has a decent shot at winning at least one NC, if that’s a motivation. But it probably means playing behind/with KK for two seasons, and the rest of the roster looks very crowded. There were rumors that USC’s lineup had two tiers and was not fully open to competition for minutes. This might make her wary to choose UConn unless she’s confident in Geno’s reputation for hard-nosed fairness. She looks like she relishes competition.

I'm with you on that. If two visit and one says it was fantastic, etc., they why would the other one not feel the same thing?

It happens. Gracie Merkel the other day withdrew her name from the portal to stay at Penn State. When you're in the portal for a month or longer and don't feel strongly about another place, or more embarrassingly your market value isn't as high as you thought it was, you end up just staying put or going to some place out of left field that no one saw coming. Seems like the players that want to leave do it pretty quickly and have a plan (assuming no tampering).
 
I saw an article online yesterday (5/14) that I can't find again.... Fake?? I don't know, but it sure seemed real.
 
I thought I read somewhere she shaded USC on social media. Might be tough for team to take her back??

Not to have an active Kayleigh Heckel thread going as we wait for the white smoke. I'd hate to think of her coming over here and finding apparently zippo interest. What do you think?

“Gee, I'm having trouble making my final decision about where to transfer. I'd like to go to UConn and play for their Hall of Fame Coach and alongside some amazing teammates. But I'm concerned that there's only been about six or seven threads about me on the Boneyard in the past few weeks. I was hoping for at least twenty...”

20 is a bit much, the real number is probably 10…..

Yeah, I saw one too. Did yours claim she had committed to UConn? Mine did. Why people do that nonsense is beyond me.

Hey, I cover all my bases. She played 17 minutes in the UConn game. I don't think there was a play where she was the first option. She shot 2 for 7 and grabbed one rebound zip assists. I suspect she has not been crazy about how she has been used in USC's offense and got an intimate look at how UConn uses its guards. That and its unrivaled rep for WNBA prep should be the closer. Then of course the basketball hall of fame that adorns Werth's walls might have some subliminal affect.

I mean....it's not a well guarded secret that hidalgo is a cancer on that team.
