Ines in the transfer portal

Kids that are good enough to play for UConn aren't usually the personality types that will sit on the bench forever. To add insult to injury Geno showed them no respect whatsoever when he would talk about the lack of a bench this year. I realize it is college, i realize he is a legend, but sometimes his disregard for the feeling of some of his players is remarkable.

I think Ines will also find a place where she can contribute and have a couple of fun years playing somewhere.

Will Geno pursue the grad xfer from Princeton?

We heard about a month ago that Geno had been talking to Coach Berube about Kaitlyn Chen. I think he anticipated 1-2 departures.

Kaitlyn listed interest in UConn, UCLA, and Stanford. She would really help UCLA and Stanford at PG. She would mix in with KK and let our freshman gradually adapt.
 
Makes perfect sense for her of course. She showed us grit and promise in her time on court two seasons ago. I was surprised by her lack of time this year. Despite the splinters she was a loyal team mate and I wish her a landing with a good team and a big role with them.
 
This really bums me out. :( I met her last year at the BE conference tourney. Really sweet kid. I cheered every time she was getting points on the floor and will never forget the important minutes she played last season.

She will be missed. I hope she has the best of luck with her basketball career and education in the future. :)

I am sorry to hear that Ines is leaving. I understand the crowded backcourt situation and I agree she would get little to no playing time. This looks like a smart move on her behalf. Nevertheless, wherever she lands I will be rooting for her. Once a Husky, always a Husky.

Your participation trophy is in the mail.
 
As with Amari I'm sorry to see Ines go but both were going to be permanent deep bench and there are many greener pastures than than. I suspect for both being a part of the UConn program will be a highlight in their lives.

What to do with the now two available scholarships seems complicated. Geno tends to stay with a short rotation. Even if he decides to do more subbing than he has in the past the 13 he has now are more than enough to let him do that. That assumes all of the 13 are healthy and ready to go by November or December, which is hardly a given. Geno may not know quite where the various injured will be in their recovery until after the summer: how many will be ready to play come November, how many will need to be eased into the rotation? I wouldn't think he would want to get some strong players in the portal only to have them sit. Nor would he want to get short staffed if some of the injured aren't ready by January. I suspect that if anyone is added to the team it would be a 4 or 5 for insurance.

Sorry to see Ines go--she really developed the UConn cohesion very quickly and I personally believe that she could have contributed quality minutes this season..

Well, at least now we know why Sarah Strong was wearing the #21 unie in her announcement photos.....

All the best to you Ines.

Now, sometimes I’m a bit slow to catch on to things, or read the tea leaves, and this is probably one of those times.
On Saturday when Sarah’s announcement was made, one of her photos showed her wearing UConn jersey #21. Someone on the BY asked why that occurred, and I cheekily responded that Ines probably lent it to her. Now, fast forward to today where Ines (#21) has entered the Portal, and @GoingPostal commented on the five minute video of Sarah’s mom, Allison Feaster wearing the same number jersey when she led her 16th seeded team Harvard, past Stanford years ago. All this seems coincidental, but my brain is over active right now.

Yeah, she was. But she stayed despite knowing she would get few minutes. Each has to make their own decisions. Ines will land somewhere good for her after 2 years learning in the UConn system.

I could be wrong, but I’m almost sure it was announced that both Briana Paulido and Tierney Lawlor had gotten BB scholarships at some point.

All was previously known, just not by us

Yes they did I believe it was in their Senior seasons.
 
What happens now if neither player gets picked up? Can they return to UConn with or without their scholarship?

Geez without any injuries we're already down to 13 players.

I believe the numbers are: one grad student, 1 red shirt Soph, 3 true Sophs, 3 new freshmen, and 5 players of questionable health.

How does that compare with South Carolina, USC, Notre Dame, just to mention a few?

Who is the grad student? It's not Paige, she is a red shirt Senior who is also eligible for another year as her COVID year.
 
15 exceptional players are too many. (If they are healthy)
