Lexi transferring

-@UConnWBB announces that sophomore guard Lexi Gordon will transfer.

 

[Vowelguy]

Too bad, but not surprising.

And the bench this year and next gets even shorter.

Gordon to Transfer from UConn Women’s Basketball - University of Connecticut Athletics

 

[Vowelguy]

Damn, that was quick - already gone from the Roster page.

Kinda uncanny because just a few hours ago I happened to come across an old article from Dec. 2014--right after that year's game at Notre Dame, in fact--when Sadie Edwards' transfer was announced.

Always sad when a good kid can't find her spot on the team, but of course I wish her all the best.

Understandable, surprised she didn't transfer at the end of last year. Mikayla Coombs so far this year has been ahead of her. Good Luck to her. Suspect she'll end up in a Texas school.

"Lexi has been a great teammate in her time at UConn, but we understand that she wants to go somewhere where she will have more opportunities to play," Auriemma said. "We wish Lex and her family the best as she continues her college career elsewhere."

Kids want to play. Great kid and teammate. Good luck Lexi!

So maybe she wasn’t “hurt” the last couple games?? Wish we could have found her some minutes

 

[EricLA]

Wish her the best. Last I checked, both HG and PN had her in the top 30 coming out of HS. Not sure why she didn't improve more at UCONN, but as a top 30 kid coming out of HS, she should have been able to carve out more PT. Didn't really see much of a sophomore leap.

At any rate, I wish her much success wherever she lands. Great kid and great teammate. I imagine she wants more PT and hope she gets lots of wherever she goes!!

Bummer. Best of luck to her.

We're really gonna need some Grad transfers or Internationals or walk-ons next year, just for practice numbers sake.

 

[Vowelguy]

Baylor & Texas were in her final list.

I'm sure TCU, just a few miles from home, would love to have her.

 

[DallasBUFan]

So what does that put UConn down to 10 now? I know she didn't play, but that's gotta hurt in terms of depth issues.

 

[Charliebball]

Really disappointing to see this................I remember how excited everyone was to get another good prospect out of the state of Texas and Lexi tried her best to recruit others to follow her to UConn...............for whatever reason she just couldn't put it together in Storrs...........hopefully she finds a program where she can rebuild her career...........

I doubt Lexi would get any more playing time at Baylor or Texas..........I like the TCU idea though

Yup 10. But Camara injured right now so only 9.

And only 9 scheduled for next year.

not really as she was always last off the bench and only in garbage time

 

[MilfordHusky]

Best wishes to Lexi!!

Maybe at Texas.....Would she be eligible next fall?

Yup...................I'm not saying nuthin..............other then if BC doesn't return it's only eight......

I assume her transferring so early in the season would allow her to play next year but what do I know...............

Lol.
Depends on NCAA. Officially wouldnt be until after end of 1st semester in late December.

 

[UConnCat]

I recall one or both of her parents went to TCU.

I think it was both.

 

[Topsail]

Not surprised but good luck to her in the future... or we definitely need a grad transfer next year

Right. Assuming she enrolls at her new school in Jan she'll be eligible after Fall semester 2019 is over.
