Was that the class the upperclassmen kicked out of the locker room?Fun (or not so fun) fact: Stef's class also had three recruits, or 60%, transfer. Does anyone remember who they were?
Assuming they materialize...Some transfers are going to get significant playing time![]()
Being the best is hard work on and off the court. Some may not fully understand the demanding nature of that or be willing to commit to it, particularly if they are in a supporting role.. How do you explain the high rate of transfer in the past few years of players who have actually gone through the experience?
Again, wish her the best. I think she'll do well.
Same for Irwin. I believe she averaged over 25ppg in 4 years in HS. Now she averages 2ppg.
How did she and Coombs become offensive liabilties?
I have my opinions, but I will leave at that.
If anyone thinks a player has to be an offensive asset to get PT, look at one of the former Irish players that I always liked when I saw her play HS or club ball, Hannah Huffman. She only averaged about 2 to 3 ppg but played about 500 minutes her junior and senior years at ND, and contributed.
Kim Mulkey, in one of her post-championship interviews, made some insightful remarks on "this transfer business that we're in" when commenting on Chloe Jackson's remarkable contributions this year. She said coaches can either embrace it and adapt to it, or get left behind.Good luck to Mikayla wherever she lands. Maybe she wants to be closer to home. I will follow her career as she is a Forever Husky.
One question though, didn't Coombs commit before coming to campus?
Transfers are the new thing and yes--not all players work out and all for different reasons. I dont think its a failed assessment on the coaching staff. Its the new era.
I would be willing to bet that transfer rates do not average 75%, so the OP was not unreasonable.
I am at at least one of the people who are confused here. I replied to post #16, which was a reply to post #13. And the OP, aka post #13, merely remarked that 3/4 of one recruiting class leaving was "not a good look" To which #16 opined as to overall transfer rates. But #13 was not commenting on overall transfer rates, so their comment was not unreasonable. And my response to #16 was that I would bet that overall WCBB transfer rates do not average 75% as does the single class that #13 referenced. No one was claiming that UConn has an overall average of anything. Go Huskies!but the OP used the word "averages" ..... thus my comment is reasonable. That is all I meant.

I realize Geno is Geno.. he’s the goat!! His record speaks for itself. But times are changing, players are changing...these players deserve a chance .. if u recruited them there was a reason for it. Let kids make mistakes let them play through it, give them a chance ... if u can handle the most demanding program in the nation and the hardest practices in the nation then there is no reason the effort isn’t there. Geno needs to change to the new level of the game.. old school isn’t working anymore and until he changes a little UCONN will continue to have small classss and lose out on recruits... it’s just my opinion but kids don’t want to sit the bench and that’s just it. Players want to play and not ride the bench.... UCONN is really in serious trouble and if they don’t fix it soon next season is going to be a very disappointing season . Very sad and schocking day ... I get 2020 is already looking like a great class but forget about 2020 it’s 2 years away it won’t help us next season... 8 player roster is just horrendous .... injuries long season I don’t even want to go there. All I can say is wow!!!
Writing on the wall she wasn't ever going to start at UConn.
Turning into the men's game, except one and done isn't feasible. Players are now bailing at the first sign of resistance, and looking for a greener pasture. If the NCAA allows immediate eligibility as a rule, it will just get worse. Or, we could see more and more of the top talent spend a year or two in college, play overseas for a season to get paid, then enter the WNBA draft. To be honest it's really a turn off the way the women's game is trending.What’s happening with women’s basketball now?
And absolutely no one said it was . The poster said 3/4 of one class is not a good look. And he/she is correct . If you choose to comment on anything, do so. But when you reply to a post, it behooves you to read it. Verbatim.When has UConn's transfer rate ever been remotely close to 75%? Just because 3/4 of one particular class transfer does not mean that there is a 75% transfer rate.
Geez, you're worse than Charlie.I realize Geno is Geno.. he’s the goat!! His record speaks for itself.

Well 2013-2014 we had, for most of the season, 8 scholarship players and 2 walk-ons. They did go 40-0 and win a NC. So I guess it wasn't sooo bad.We've lost a lot of kids the past four years, kids who did well elsewhere. And now we're looking at a season without any dependable player coming off the bench.
I don't recall our being in this situation ever. We may never have had a deep bench. But this is tough.
We're doomed.This has to mean Westbrook announcement to UConn is coming soon.
We could have had a starting line up of 4 chairs + Stewie and gone 40-0.Well 2013-2014 we had, for most of the season, 8 scholarship players and 2 walk-ons. They did go 40-0 and win a NC. So I guess it wasn't sooo bad.
"Has to"? Hardly.This has to mean Westbrook announcement to UConn is coming soon.
