VWhere is she going? Rutgers, Syracuse or LSU? lol

Why the seeming derison (the lol) of Ms. Veitenheimer? Whlle she perhaps didn't live up to her Top 25 ranking in Prospects Nation coming out of high school, she graduated ahead of time, started 75% of the games she played in the last two years and made the Big12 Academic team. Hard-nosed kid who helps teams.

I thought she'd be the type of player who would thrive under new coach, Jen B., but perhaps some coversations with the new coach proved otherwise. Or perhaps there's a grad school or program she's after? She's a Texas native, so maybe somewhere in the Lone Star State? Good luck to her.

In 4 years, Wynn got 0 transfers from D1 schools at UW. Langley has already gotten 3. Yeah 2 followed her from Rice, and yeah it's a whole new world w/ the extra covid year and the floodgates being thrown open on transferring, but still it is a striking contrast. One coach appeared to be unable to sell the opportunity of coming to her school, while the other is having no problems at all.

Oregon's roster keeps growing via the transfer portal despite what Graves stated a few weeks ago about preferring a smaller roster . . .

If all three transfers are eligible for the upcoming season he will have the same number of players as when he made those comments, since Dugalic and Mikesell transferred out and Wilson medically retired.

As I previously mentioned in the May Transfer thread (post) the last time someone made a similar observation.

Is Dufficy eligible to play this upcoming season? She transferred from St Mary's Utah St. to Missouri, though she did sit out a year. If not, he could still only have 9 players with Hosendove and Dufficy ineligible without a waiver.

Note: This post overlooked JUCO transfer Pinto and also incorrectly listed Dufficy's original school.

Not entirely true.

Per this article (which was after the retirment of Arielle Wilson and transfers of Taylor Mikesell and Angela Dugalic):

“Graves told The Register-Guard he plans to add two players via the transfer portal to get to 10, which was the number of players the Ducks had on the 2019 Final Four team.”

His current roster sits at 12, and he is still (as far as I’m aware) pursuing Endyia Rogers which would potentially put them at 13 and in the same place as last season.

It looks like she is a graduate transfer. She should be good to go for the 21-22 season.


 
Putting aside the exact roster numbers during the recent fluctuation, the "issue" (which I'm not even sure there is an issue, but if you choose to see it that way...) is the hypocrisy between his blunt and dismissive remarks about the transfer portal back in April and his actions since then, which has been to add a bunch of transfers. For example, he said, "I’m not just going to go hunt a bunch of kids in the portal because they’re available." And also, "I think we’ve got the right mix. I think the smaller roster will help.... I like what I have. I think this is a group I can develop."

So to the casual outsider looking at the Oregon program right now, the question is.. Why??

Grad-transfers who have transferred once before as undergrads are not immediately eligible under the new one-time transfer rule. They have to get a waiver. But, Dufficy already sat out one season when she transferred to Missouri; so, she never was awarded immediate eligibility in the past. Their other grad-transfer, Hosendove, will need a waiver, I believe.

www.espn.com

NCAA 1-time transfer rule clears last step, starts with 2021-22 academic year

The NCAA Division I Board of Directors ratified a rule change Wednesday that will allow all athletes who have not yet transferred the ability to do so one time in a college career and be immediately eligible to play.
www.espn.com www.espn.com


The one-time exception will count for athletes who transfer after graduating. Previously, NCAA rules permitted athletes who had graduated to transfer and be immediately eligible.

Now, if an athlete has already use a one-time exception for a transfer as an undergraduate, the athlete is not automatically eligible as a graduate transfer. Athletes can still apply for a waiver to become eligible under certain circumstances.

Yeah I’m kind of confused about that too. He made a point to have such a strong stance on it. And I understand some players left so he picked up two, but as someone else said his roster now stands at 12 and he’s trying for a 13th. Just goes to show, people hate something that benefits others until they need it.

According to "Duck Territory" Oregon also signed a JC transfer Chanaya Pinto--that makes 4 transfers plus potentially Ednyia Rogers = 5 transfers! It appears Kelly has had a 11th hour change of philosophy on signing transfers :)

Yeah, his philosophy changed after 4 players left. Just goes to show, people hate something that benefits other teams. Funny how some are bothered by it.
 
Fair enough, I was commenting on the surprising number of transfers in after his comments a couple of months ago (after Shelley and Chavez left) about standing pat on 11. With the later departures of Dugalic and Mikesell I thought he might pick up a couple transfers. Didn't see him taking potentially five.

Just want to know why you are upset about it other than the team you follow did not get one of these transfers? Things change on rosters.

Assistants change too so maybe the convinced him on a change. Btw the change was good. The new assistant from zona is turning out to be a great recruiter. She is real relentless and I heard she has brought some interest back into Oregon that Campbell did not garner for beyond 2022
 
Not sure why this is an issue for some. Graves changed his mind about going with 10. Maybe he remembered that he had only seven healthy players by the time they got to the Final Four and it cost them. Twelve always seems like a good number with the right mix. Rogers hardly a sure thing but if she comes it likely indicates another player or two might not be available (eligibility, medical issue, or…). I think he is looking at twelve. Losing the versatile Dugalic changed his thinking IMO.
 
Funny thing is that Graves didn't have to throw shade at the transfer portal a couple of months ago, and those coaches who were mining it (if that's how most interpreted his comments). In the end, he comes across as a hypocrite, IMO. Sometimes it's okay to bite your tongue when talking with the media.

Exactly, Maybe Jackie Nared Hairston convinced him? Still believe Dugalic was the biggest loss and everything else looks to be an upgrade from there or at least an even exchange,

a. I'm not upset about it. Was more trying to explain from a neutral standpoint how some people have interpreted Graves' actions in light of his past comments. Notice in my post on the matter, I said, "I'm not even sure there is an issue."
b. My team did not want any of those transfers lol.
 
I don’t think anyone is upset that he’s picking up players. I think most are confused how fast his opinion flip flopped, after being extremely outspoken to the media on this topic. I do agree with another poster, it does seem hypocritical. But hey, all is fair, so good for him if he gets some good players from the portal. Maybe next time he’ll think twice about speaking so strongly against something that could benefit his team.

That’s a bunch. Shug Dickson is a familiar name and something of a basketball nomad. She played against UConn for Tulsa, subsequently transferred to TX Tech, on to Mizzou and now to Rutgers.

Thanks for reminding me who Shug Dickson is. I thought the name was familiar, but couldn’t place it.

Yikes. I had to convert that into Celsuis..........41 degrees?!?!?! I've heard it's a dry heat in Arizona, does that help matters?
