Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3136007, member: 26"] What about her? She never even made it to the first day of school. I don't really count her as a kid who transferred - heck, she didn't even play hoops at Deleware in the beginning - she played volleyball. Some of you people (not saying this to you [USER=9074]@hoopsfan22[/USER]) want to pigeon-hole everything into a nice tidy box. It doesn't work that way. There's not a single player who transferred from UCONN who has gone on to play professionally. Not a single one. Unless you want to count Delle Donne, which I don't. Some of the kids were drafted, but never really made teams (Michala Johnson, Samarie Walker maybe?). Anyway go back and look at the transfers out, where they went, and how "good" they were at their new teams. Most of these kids didn't even make all conference teams. 1990s - 1 National Championship [LIST=1] [*]Tammy Arnold [*]Marci Glenney [*]Clark (forget her first name) [*]Kennitra Johnson (Purdue) [/LIST] 2000's - 5 National Championships [LIST=1] [*]Gillian Goring (NC State) [*]Liz Sherwood (Vandy) [*]Kiana Robinson (Cumberland) [*]Kia Wright (SJU) [/LIST] 2010's - 5 National Championships, but a string of 12 straight final 4's dating back to 2007 [LIST=1] [*]Samarie Walker (Kentucky) [*]Michala Johnson (Illinois) [*]Lauren Engeln (BCU) [*]Brianna Banks (Penn State) [*]Courtney Ekmark (ASU) [*]Sadie Edwards (USC) [*]De'Janae Boykin (Penn State) [*]Andra Hunter (Mississippi State) [*]Lexi Gordon (Texas Tech) [*]Mikayla Coombs [/LIST] Of the top 20'ish kids who transferred (Walker, Edwards, Boykin, Coombs, Banks), one left for very personal reasons, 2 were basically dismissed from the team (more or less), Coombs is the latest, and I suspect like Banks, just wanted more PT. The reason i listed the final 4's and NC's is that UCONN's dominant run has lasted 12 years going back to 2007. The amount of top 10 and top 5 talent UCONN has amassed on its' roster is mind boggling. When you have as many as 6 or even 7 top 10 kids on a roster, the others just won't get the PT. Anyway, as I said in another post, I'll start worrying when our legit top 10 kids start leaving. Until then, when you have so much talent on the roster, kids who feel they want/need/deserve more PT simply won't last. [/QUOTE]
