It's the right move. It was clear early this year that Anna couldn't keep up with the rest of the team. She could be an important piece in a program that is a notch below.

Do you think Indiana is a notch below, or DePaul, or Northwestern? Maybe I should be asking a notch below what? Certainly not UConn because most teams are a notch below UConn. Honestly, what do you mean by a notch below? If UConn had not gotten some of the incoming guards, I believe Anna could have thrived at UConn. Just my opinion. See Argonaut's post above. Some of those schools listed are surely not a notch below.

No Big East teams? Is this due to rules that transferring within conference are stricter? Call me provincial but if I transferred, I would find it fun to play UConn.
 
Sorry to see Anna leave but completely understand. As many have noted playing time next year is going to be hard to come by. I’m sure Anna will find a good fit for her talents. Thanks Anna, and best wishes.

I don't believe transferring within a conference is as restrictive as before the ACC recently dropped the stricter restriction and I believe other conferences are considering the old restrictions OBE=new NCAA transfer rules.

I wonder whether Evina's decision to return pushed Makurat to transfer. I'm guessing that with Westbrook returning, the meager minutes to be divided became even more meager.

That does not make sense. When Anna was healthy her and Evina were both starters playing COMPLETELY NON-OVERLAPPING positions. You really need to get a better grip on the positions these players play before you continue to erroneously talk about things like minutes per game being played.

It means that the mpg situation remains tight. I would guess:

Paige 30
Azzi 20
Evina 20
ONO 20
Edwards 25
DeBerry 15
Cristyn 25
Muhl 20
Poffernbarger 8
Ducharme 8


Total minutes for the top 10: 191
MPG remaining: 9
Total MPG Available: 200

It means that even if Saylor and Ducharme get just 8 mpg each, McLean, Griffin, and Gabriel would only be able to split a total of 9 mpg between them. Or else, one of the freshmen would have to give up minutes.

Still a difficult situation for the coaching staff to manage with 13 scholarship athletes.

But E moved to the four spot, where Anna had been a starter.

You’re really stuck on this set-in-stone schedule for minutes per game, huh?
 
Anna will be missed. She was so integrated within the framework of this team - giving the pep talk during the Baylor game to start 19-0. I wonder if she wanted to play with her sister and if the two are looking for a team together.
 
A lovely and bittersweet saying for times like this:

La vida nos da sorpresas, sorpresas nos da la vida. Not easily rendered into the more rigid syntax of English, but "Life gives us surprises" can suffice for the gist.

Anna, you've got fans for life. Sad to see you leave, but more than that, appreciative for what you brought to us.

My guess is this is related to her sister transferring. Particularly this year I can see folks (especially those so far from home) wanting to spend their time with family/close friends, so I bet they end up together.

Sad to hear, since she was my favorite player. I’m sure the injury setback made this season a difficult one for her. She’ll be a great addition on and off the court to whichever program she joins. Thankfully we have some players with similar skill sets on the way to storrs.

It makes perfect sense. You don't have to directly compete in the same position for your minutes to be affected by another player. You're making the assumption that there is only 1 lineup style, that everything is like for like. But you could have a lineup with 4 guards and 1 big where Evina is one of the 4 guards or you can have 2 bigs line up where Evina is replaced by Edwards or Ono. Either of those lineups could have Makurat with or without Evina, but there would be far fewer minutes of either instances of those lineups without Evina.

For example, minus Westbrook, a player like Ducharme could play an extra 10 minutes that would otherwise go to Westbrook. Say a lineup like Paige-Azzi-Westbrook-Edwards-ONO could turn into Paige-Azzi-Ducharme-Edwards-ONO. Now Ducharme is competing for 10 minutes with Makurat that she otherwise wouldn't have competed with Makurat for.
 
Not surprising especially with Azzi Fudd and Carolyn Ducharme joining the team. Anna is a good player but she's not the ball handler she needs to be. She would have gotten more minutes in the Baylor and Arizona game if she was a good ball handler and was agressive

Impossible to factor in illness, injuries, fouls, practice habits,PHANTOM FOULS, etc.
Projecting minutes per game for teams that haven’t even been in the same room together is pointless. JMHO

Anna Mak-I’m really going to miss you.
I also hope you land on a team where you will Shine! I believe she will shine and remain besties with all the gals! They have a true “sisterhood” bond forever. Here’s to Anna Mak! Miss you already.

NO SPECULATION on future transfers. This is a bannable offense - I’ve said it a million times

Who are you talking about? To say what you did without context neither helps the offending party nor the rest of us who are trying to work within the rules. This thread is talking about a transfer, so I can see how easy it can be to stray away and talk about other UConn players. Thanks.

Two posters alluded to the potential transfer of a current Husky other than Anna on this thread. I’m certain that is who Nan was referencing.

Okay, I was just hoping to see the kind of post that would offend this rule for context. I am sure what may seem innocent to one is over the line for another. Trying to keep my BY card intact! :)
