You mean like Mompremier who left Mulkey's program at Baylor was developed by Meier and is playing in the WNBA vs K. Brown and L. Cox who are not?
Yes she's in the league. Playing, another matter. Her minutes this season in Atlanta have been scarce. Not sure what's going with her situation.

Kalanis style of play was never going to translate to the WNBA. Fabulous college player though

Cox is more surprising although I know she has been up and down dealing with her diabetes, which got worse when she dealt with COVID. Hope she is doing better now.

But let’s not bash a player for going to a school they choose. If they are talented and work hard enough they can get to the next level regardless of where they play in college.

Other than Brittany Griner, I cannot think of a post player for Kim who succeeded in the WNBA. Kim
had some excellent post players but I just do not think Kim’s style of play translated well to the WNBA.

Well she may have another one. I expect Smith to be highly successful in the WNBA for a long time. Egbo on the other hand I’m skeptical if she will even last. Wouldn’t be surprised, she wasn’t a very consistent post in college. She’s still only a rookie. She has to improve her game offensively, still too inconsistent but she’s super athletic, lengthy which is good on the boards and defensively

With all that said it’s hard as heck to make the WNBA these days. The amount of great players getting cut or not ending up on a roster now is getting higher each year.

Egbo has actually over achieved so far in her WNBA career starting for Indy. I was one who thought she needed to stay at Baylor to develop but she's playing 10x's better than she ever did in college.

Egbo has been incredible for the Fever.

Huh. I didn't really get Jade Loville going there last year, and I don't get this one either.

Another UCF -> Georgia transfer. This says a lot to me about how much the players like Coach Abe.


Yeah, obviously the players love Coach Abe. I was really hoping some of them would stay but no such luck. Coach Messer has pulled in about 8 players last I heard but next year is going to be a pretty rough most likely.

We all know that recruits sign to play for THE COACH, not the school. Schools don't recruit players, coaches do. Now with the liberal transfer rules, if the coach leaves, the players have the option of leaving also. You signed to play for a particular coach (and their staff). There's nothing to say that the returning players will want to play for the incoming coach who they don't know, nor have any relationship with, or that the new coach will want them.

It's a two way street. Kara Lawson and Kim Mulkey purged their roster when they took over their respective programs. There were players there that they didn't want. Plus, they needed to make room and scholarships available for the new players they wanted to bring in.

Don't think new incoming coaches have never told a returning player that they would be better served (and happier) at another school. If I like my coach and he/she leaves, why wouldn't I want to go with them? :rolleyes: I never blame players for leaving if their coach does. When the coach and the staff leaves, the program they committed to and signed up for no longer exists at that school. :confused:

It helped that Georgia had all of those open scholarships due to transfers and players graduating.

Why? ASU has always been a fine program and was in the Sweet 16 the year before Covid.

And honestly, I have a theory that sometimes when a school starts to achieve success (Univ. of Arizona), it actually helps their rival school in recruiting.

I am SO impressed by Adair already. What more could you ask for in a 1st year coach from a completely different part of the country assembling a group of 5 quality transfers (well, 1 was an incoming freshman who followed Adair from Delaware to ASU).

It's exciting for the Pac-12 that she's recruiting outside the traditional geographic region that is usually our conference's talent pool.

I didn't mean it as a knock on ASU, it was more a matter of fit. Loville was definitely known more for offense than D, and ASU is pretty much the opposite of that.

CTT had a very nice career there, but they've been downtrending in recent years, and now they have a new coach. We'll see where they go from here.

Kamaria McDaniel to Michigan State

Penn St > Baylor > Michigan St

I hope she has a great last year unfortunately she couldn't stay healthy and get into groove at Baylor. I loved watching her at Penn St.

This is the type of post Coach Schaefer likes.
There was suspicion Texas has had a silent post commitment for months now, if I recall, so that tracks.

Longhorns traded Ebo and Lattimore for Jones and Faye. That’s an upgrade, no doubt. Anything can happen but Vic has played in the last five Elite Eights and I’d be surprised if it doesn’t become six with this roster he’s got going.
