New Anna to Transfer thread

There's the phrase "follow the money". In this case the applicable phrase is "follow the sister". If we get an idea as to where Ola is going that could be the clue as to where Anna is going.

Anna Mak-We Miss you already! You’ll shine wherever you decide to play! We had the pleasure of seeing you play in-person your freshman year! We loved you from that moment on! Whichever team you choose will be very Lucky to get you! Hooray for Anna Mak!
 
We'll miss Anna; last year was a transition year and as a freshman she plugged a hole when it was really needed. This year the arrival of Paige and AE started the new era and although Anna would have played a role on the team her injury sidelined her. With the incoming class for the 2021-22 season arriving, it was obvious she would struggle to get minutes. She can start for 95% of the teams in wcbb and I have no doubt she'll do well. Happy days are ahead for Anna.

Oh... Not Arizona. That wound's a little too fresh.

A lot of posters very dismissive of this transfer. Talent is important obviously but so is leadership and maturity. Makurat has talent and she proved her intangible value with her speech in the Baylor game. The team likely would not have had the opportunity to take Arizona lightly had Makurat not intervened versus Baylor.

Tina Thompson Virginia? :eek:

Yep. And while they wouldn’t win a lot of games, she’d definitely be a star. It would be an interesting choice...

UVA is getting a few grad transfers from Ivy schools so it could possibly not be a bad option, especially if they are looking at a Utah grad transfer too. Anna is going to bring a lot of talent and a maturity that any team could use. I see her as a starter for most D1 programs and a sixth woman for almost any other D1 school

I agree that Anna's loss will be missed because of her maturity as much as her talent. It remains a very young team heavily weighted with freshmen and sophomores.

I think Anna would thrive under Kara Lawson at Duke or Kelly Harper T Tennessee.

Whether it’s fair or not (since there is a different coaching staff...), I would imagine that Evina has told the team the complete story about why she left Tennessee. And I don’t think we’ll see a UConn to UT transfer for a looooooong time.

Lord knows Arizona could use some three point shooting!

UVA did get the 2 Ivy transfers who will certainly start here. One was defensive player of the year. We’re building a TT - Team of Transfers! Or a TTT - Thompson’s Team of Transfers!

Man, I hope yall turn it around. A good UVA squad is good for the ACC.

I have no idea what Evina's situation was when she decided to transfer, in fact my only impression was that she had thrown her coach and team under the bus. This completely wrong impression was based on 1 video I saw, probably on YouTube. Anyway, didn't the current coach hire or bring her own coaches so that the Evina environment is no longer there?
I am just curious about your last question.

I certainly am not a fan of the LadyVols but do think that Kellie has done an ok job in the short time that she has been there.

Basketball aside, she just seems like a great kid.
There should be points in life just for being nice.
Plus, UConn would have been in a heap of trouble without her in the 2019-2020 season.
She's one of those kids that makes you wish there were enough minutes in the game to let everybody play.
I'll root for her wherever she lands and hope she makes a choice that makes her happy.

She pretty candidly agreed with a reporter’s question that steps needed to be taken in the off-season with some off the court issues. I don’t think she threw anyone under the bus the way it has been remembered. And there were some even more inflammatory questions the reporter kept asking that she didn’t answer.

Yes, the coaching staff has changed, and that’s why I said it might not be fair. But I think a player’s overall experience and how they talk about that experience with their peers leaves a big impression.

No argument here.
 
Colorado coach emailed me to say they are going after Anna, which would be a great lift, with All-PAC-12 Mya Hollingshed returning for a Covid 5th year to raise her draft stock (projected mid 2nd round this year), Sherrod returning from surgery, Peanut in her senior year, Finau looking good, and add Anna’s passing to Mya and matching 3 point shooting with Danish sophomore to be Frida Forman and CU rapidly moves up in conference play, especially with Kiwi Charlotte Whitaker out for season with surgery. Where Ola goes is questionable. After a great season at Liberty, transferring to Utah ended in bench time.
