This was fast. Happy for her. In a person who left number no less.
Or maybe because of the departures....Staying in state as well. Maybe that's why it happened so quickly, even with the departures from the Razorback program.

It was a rebuilding year for them in my opinion. They lost some great players to graduation and the pros.USF needs the help. Finished in the middle of the mediocre American. Not good.
Jersey Wolfenbarger to LSU.
She wasn't allowed to shoot 3s at Arkansas? I haven't watched much of the Razorbacks, but Neighbors sure seems like a coach who gives everybody the green light to launch from deep.Makes sense considering Baylor had been in consideration when she was being recruited. Wonder if she thinks her style of play can be similar to Morrow where she'll be allowed to shoot 3s.
Didn't mean to give the impression she wasn't being allowed to. From what I remember, she's seen herself more as a guard. Most teams would be looking to see her mainly inside because of her height. My thought was maybe LSU sold her on their program leveraging Morrow as their example.She wasn't allowed to shoot 3s at Arkansas?

I looked, in 2 years she took 120. She definitely was not being restricted at Arky. She might want to try to improve her accuracy before she starts taking more--22%!

This is what to came to mind for me when I saw this news while watching the Gonzaga-Utah game.Makes sense considering Baylor had been in consideration when she was being recruited. Wonder if she thinks her style of play can be similar to Morrow where she'll be allowed to shoot 3s.

Wolfenbarger is a guard who probably excels more at what most of us would call forward-ish traits (hello, Cass Prosper of Notre Dame!).
LSU loves to get up and down and attack the offensive boards. If anything, I've been struck by how Morrow has been a modicum of discipline and drive for the Tigers. Wolfenbarger might find a role model there. Of course, working on her shot could help, too.
If so, wise move.Another friend and I were debating this. They thought it was odd she chose LSU as Morrow isn't shooting as many threes. The way I see it is that Wolfenbarger is realizing she has to adjust her game/expectations.

Except 1 has transferred to LSU (I believe) and another is in the portal.At the very least, Arkansas gets the award for the most players with the funniest names. Jersey Wolfenbarger, Saylor Poffenbarger, AND Izzy Higginbottom.
Oregon picks up a guard from Germany via Siena (whose coach had just resigned to follow his wife to her new job at Stanford).
