Ridiculed or questioned? I believe it was a combination of both.

I think it was fair for people to ask questions considering the number who went into to portal, even with the extra year players are getting due to COVID. I don't see the conversation of Syracuse's situation being any different than what I've seen mentioned about other programs who have had players consistently transfer out of their program (e.g. Maryland).

I agree that the question is how they team comes together. Unlike Maryland, where they seem to be unaffected regardless of who leaves, Syracuse has not been in a similar position.

Difference between Syracuse and Maryland is Syracuse lost almost their entire returning team. Maryland may lose a player or two annually which is why you may have said they are unaffected but at this point with 1,000 transfers I don't know if their situation is much different than a lot of schools. I am seeing 4, 5, 6 transfers at many schools now.

I agree with you there regarding the number of players. The only other program that has 11/12 players transfer out is Detroit Mercy, however the issues with that program have been well documented.

My response was to someone mentioning Syracuse was being ridiculed. Even though Maryland may lose a few players each season, there have been jabs at Coach Frese because of it. Or at least I perceive them to be jabs I should say.

In Syracuse's case, I've interpreted the comments in the forum as a mix of ridicule and honest questions, especially when they're losing key cogs of their roster from this season. You're down to 1 freshman from the 2020 class (who I hope will fully recover from her injury), bringing in at least 5 transfers, along with the freshman class they signed for 2021.
 
Well, it's been just about two weeks since Kim was initially announced, and a good week before that since speculation about her leaving reached fever pitch. So, she's had some time to think things over.

She had two serious finalists, Baylor and Arkansas. I'm not really sure who contacted who first, but I think it's probably like the Goforth thing was -- when she knew she wanted to leave, she knew she wanted to play at Arkansas instead.

Not surprised, but for this to happen so fast, I wonder if Maryam reached out to Arkansas or did Arkansas reach out to her once Kim left.

I think she had to receive her official release from her LOI before any school could contact her legally.

That isn't to say there couldn't have been some talk through "back channels", however I wouldn't be surprised if she felt Arkansas was the way to go once she got her release.

Is there anyone good left in the portal besides Moon Ursin?
Expand ...
There are 37 P5 players without a destination. Granted many of those are probably going to drop down to a non P5.

Is Alaysia Styles (née Cal née Md) any good?

My Aggies lose an All-MEAC player to Grad Transfer. Winters will forever live in Aggie lore as she hit the championship winning three with the clock winding down in NC A&T's last appearance in the MEAC Tournament.

Look at Neighbors loading up. Replacing Dungee/Slocum/Ramirez is a tall order but adding Dauda, Wolfenbarger and Goforth should set them up quite well for the next few year.

I thought Ramirez was returning. Anyone have other news on this?

Graves wanted 10 players on the roster. The portal is getting to the point where it is on its second day of a garage sale and Graves landed Hurst. Not a terrible choice at all considering it is getting later and later an and the good bargains are getting harder and harder to find.

I think he was willing to go with 10, but I am not sure any coach would choose to especially when two starters have significant history of injuries.

I think 15 is way too many. It's a sleight of hand to make schools look better for Title IX purposes. But 10 is kind of pushing it. Best is probably 12-13.

But he definitely rolled the dice by not getting in the portal sooner and they didn't go his way.

I did not know that Dauda had suffered a knee injury and plans to redshirt her freshman season . . . .

Yeah, she hurt herself in practice right before the state tournament. Really knocked Bentonville for a loop and they lost to Fayetteville in their conference championship game without her, and then to Amauri Williams's No Little Rock team in the state tournament. I think they'd have won both games with her, fwiw.

Syracuse was ridiculed for having so many players (leave/graduate/transfer). They have rebounded nicely and if they can establish some chemistry before the season starts...they could be very good come March. There aren't any superstars, but they do have balance, consistency and blue-collar workmanship with this new roster. Q needs to hire an assistant that can manage people...so he can worry about XOs.

Carr is a solid addition here, especially this late into the transfer portal.

:eek: Shouldn't Q be hiring 2 assistants then? It's not like XO's is his strong suit. Q is very basic coach & one trick pony with absolutely ZERO creativity on the defensive side of the ball.

His offense has been to hoist up a bunch of three pointers for a while now, so I’m sure he will stick with that. They will be undersized regardless.

I think he's better than we've seen on offense. Some of the plays he has drawn up at end of game situations have been pretty impressive. Do they shoot too many 3s?;..yes. As far as defense...man, just play a 2-3 zone. It's the Cuse staple.

Since Syracuse appeared in the finals...Q's problem IMO was that he couldn't manage all the talent that fell into his lap. He tried to keep everyone happy...and then no one was happy. Craziest substitution patterns (for lack of a better word) that I had seen ever. He tried to play too many people...for 30-45 seconds at a time...and not at the end of games. It was crazy!

If that's the case, next season will be interesting. He's got some freshman coming in who are used to playing major minutes, along with transfers who played significant minutes as well.

Since you mentioned it.. That 'Cuse Finals appearance was nothing to write home about and was a historically bad loss=2nd highest MOV (31 Points) ever in a championship game. Understandable right since it was Stewie's swan song? Not really, Syracuse has actually played UCONN in the NCAA tournament twice (without Stewie) since then. First time the MOV was 30 points this year the MOV was 36. If you go back to the Pre Stewie days when Syracuse was in the the BE you will find similar MOV for UCONN. Why? because Q is a basic coach that throws out basic stuff and when you do Geno is going to beat you like a drum. A perfect example of that is that "token" full court press that "Cuse" throws out against everyone else NEVER works against UCONN. I guess I shouldn't say NEVER- in the championship game the 'Cuse used that press and had Saniya shook and went on a double digit run. Just think what the margin would have been had Saniya not gotten shook.

So, Baylor loses starting guards, Didi Richards and Dijonai Carrington to the WNBA, and Moon Ursin's future with the program is still unknown. Now they lose projected starter, Chrislynn Carr. That leaves Sarah Andrews and Jaden Owens returning to play in the back court. Penn State transfer, Kamaria McDaniel projected to play after medically redshirting this past season.

If grad-transfer, Jordan Lewis had some graduate program reasons for selecting Baylor, then I can see her sticking with Baylor. Still, the timing of Mulkey bolting right after Lewis' addition was announced might not sit well with Lewis; guess we'll find out soon.

Baylor should be fine this year even with all the losses they had to transfer and graduation. Next year is where they could be significant issues if they don't bring in a deep class or get good players out the portal.

From what I read Lewis intends to stay unless something changes.

I think movement continues (everywhere) over the next several weeks/months. In the end, what matters is who is enrolled where come the Fall semester in late August / early September. Sadly, assuming there won't be any additional roster changes at Baylor and other programs is not the likely outcome.
