New school commitments by Transfers

Can very much see this working on court. However, I'm also interested in the corresponding academic aspect of this equation. Sam is a Film & Television major and mentioned in her "moving on" tweet she was looking for a grad program, to boot. UVA is a great school, but it does not have masters in those areas (I was on the UVA site this morning....). However, maybe there's another area she wants to master in? (say she wants to get into education like her mom...great educational programs).

If she's looking for nearby schools with solid communication grad programs, there's Maryland, who need some forwards.

Stay tuned.

I hear Maryland has some roster spots available.

BTW, coveted Princeton grad transfer Abby Meyers is visiting Maryland this weekend.

I am going to refrain from commenting on tweets, I am doing the "0 for XXX" thing lately.
My intent in my first post was to relay the info from the Transfer Portal thread to the Announcement thread. I guess I was wrong in doing that too. :(

UCLA (and Wesleyan, CT) are the two top film schools in the country

I thought USC was noted for its film school, not UCLA.

UCLA is having a hiccup, and ranks behind USC, but it is generally a top-10 film school. Also, the basketball outlook seems a bit more stable at the moment. Only one scholarship slot open, though.
 
The UVA Arts Department hosts an annual Virginia Film Festival that’s very well regarded, so I’m guessing they have some sort of film program.

She is NOT my type nor anyone’s type who values respect and sportsmanship in a player. What she did to Aaliyah on the out of bounds ball in our UCF is unconscionable and her hard fouls completely unnecessary.

Rugby should have been her first choice.

When I read your post the one thing that stood out the most to me...the one "dislike" you received by crash96. The name seems to go along with the content of your post. :D

Makes sense on many fronts:
  • IU was one of her finalists back in high school. I think she grew up pretty close to Bloomington.
  • There are two starting guards slots open: Ali Patberg (finally) is moving on, as is Nicole Cardano-Hilary
  • Both of those players, incidentally, were transfers, as well. IU Coach Teri Moren has a good track record here.
  • She gets to play next to Grace Berger and MacKenzie Holmes. Not bad.

I've wondered if Maddie Scherr might make a similar move and return home to Kentucky. They've lost a ton of talent.

Hmm, which may be one reason why not to go there.
Interestingly, I think the move for her might be to join fellow Duck Parrish and fellow Kentuckian Grace Berger at IU.

As noted, both Ali Patberg and Nicole Cardano-Hilary, who handled the lead guard duties for IU, have graduated. Parrish and Berger have handles but are better suited to finish. Scherr could stage manage.....

Makes sense. Kentucky seems to be a program in a bit of turmoil right now, losing so much talent in the portal (Edwards, Massengill, Hunt) and graduation (Howard). Good to see the freshman guard, Jada Walker, is sticking around. She really improved as the season went along and seemed to do a good job weaving through all the dominant players and personalities on the team. That had to be a tricky at her young age.

I would think Vandy grad Brinae Alexander could be a good fit for them. She's not a great all-around player, but she's good and can shoot it, especially the three, and is smart. I'd rather not have to watch Brinae play for another SEC squad, and Kentucky is one of the teams Vandy needs to catch up to make any progress in the SEC standings. But, I have to admit she would make sense there, and they need to replace most of their scoring.
 
Re: Maddie Scherr following Parrish to IU. Not likely IMO. Conventional wisdom is Scherr is following boy friend/fiancé Micah Pittman to Florida State. But who knows…

Kentucky has the Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year coming in next season, guard, Saniya Tyler. She is a good three-point shooter and has played a national schedule with Incarnate Word Academy. They have won over 65 straight games.

Wait, what? South Carolina has a top notch film school AND a top notch WCBB team? Wow, never knew that, good to know!

I'm talking about the real USC.

Honestly, I have no idea about what schools have good film programs, other than I see mentions of USC all the time. Probably makes sense, being close to Hollywood and all.

And from Sam, herself:

I don’t really understand why Sam would choose Virginia. They aren’t likely to be competitive in the next couple of years. I understand they probably have the masters program she wanted, but it seems like she could have gone to a ‘better’ program.
