New transfer thread

DefenseBB said:
Chandler Smith transferred BEFORE the coaching change at Nebraska and before the NCAA starting getting tidal waves of transfers, losing it's draconian grip on illogical rules. Smith left after the14-15 season and Natalie Romeo left after the 15-16 season (Yori was fired) and was granted immediate playing at UW (as you well know). Shepard gave the new coaches a year (2016-17) then asked to transfer. 3 players, 1 left before a coaching change and before the alleged (and supported) abuse came to light, 2 left after it was publicized. To me, this is exactly why the NCAA should grant immediate eligibility-you never know the reasons why players and in this case one was penalized unfairly. :)

Dang it, in my mind I always thought Smith and Romeo left Nebraska at the same time. Thanks for the correction. Smith was just prescient in knowing about Yori. :cool: What's weird is Smith left first but was still playing 2 years after Romeo's last season (Romeo only played 1 year at UW and had to retire due to injuries).
 
LSU post player Monet Jones is now in the portal. No clue why she was on the team last year when she got kicked off right before school started then got suspended multiple times.

She did have a bunch of offers from Big 12 schools.

Esmery Martinez got her release from Mississippi State.

Woah, what happened there? She has a lot of ability. Some money open now for State if they want to make another addition...

Very odd timing

I like Martinez’s game a lot, and I think she was recently back home in the DR, so perhaps she talked it over with her family and realized it wasn’t the fit. Very interested to see who picks her up.

This may hurt State’s chances with Cardoso and Hayes.

She also had a really weird commitment timeline, which was suspect.

Very disappointed about E Martinez. However with her coming off the knee injury it would have been difficult for her to play this season. Therefore I think she sits no matter where she attends. I wish her the best. She looks to be an excellent player.

I figured there would be some attrition, but I didn't think it would be this quick. She's the recruit I know the least about in the class. Apparently, she's still rehabbing a torn ACL.

It's nothing official, of course, but you can't help but wonder if they might know something, as an organization that helps Dominican athletes find opportunities int the States.

Could also be a hint that she's on an unofficial visit to Texas, or will be this weekend. Haven' seen anything on my end to say that is the case, but things do often move fast (this late in the process), especially if she wants to enroll somewhere for the June summer session.

Considering Texas's frontcourt losses to graduation and now the transfer of Prince, the coaching staff is surely on the hustle. They're down to Collier as their only true post, much as UConn is with Olivia.
 
FDM is Esmery’s agency. They are the ones who deal with her recruitment, etc. Still really want to know why she decomitted...
 
Does State explore other grad transfer options with her decommitment? As far as I am aware that opens up a spot.

Unless they want to just save it for that 2020 class.

E Martinez was not expected to be a big contributor this season so her decommitment doesn’t require MSU to scramble to find someone to fill the spot. I think if the right player was available they would take her. MSU could still use an experienced point guard but right now I don’t see one available in the portal. Alternatively if a player the caliber of S Prince was available then they would surely move on that. Otherwise they hold the scholarship.

Levy is a huge loss. I was looking forward to her being the next player from that program to be a thorn in our side.
 
Levy’s prolly headed home to Tennessee. Tennessee had a lot of talent in its state from that class. Rhyne Howard, Elizabeth Balogun, Elizabeth Dixon, Akira Levy, Brinae Alexander, Jordan Cambridge, Jazmine Massengill...only Massengill committed to Rocky Top

As others have said, HUGE loss for Mizzou. She was one of the most promising freshmen in the country last year. Major spark off the bench.

I came across this from a month ago. I knew she had a huge personality, but I didn't know she had a voice to match:

Akira Levy: The Mizzou freshman phenom stealing basketballs and stealing the show

It's not every day someone gets invited to sing on stage with Kenny Chesney, but Mizzou basketball player Akira Levy had just that. She not only belted out the well-known "She thinks my Tractor's Sexy" song, but many said she stole the show. She said singing in front of thousands of people...

Raoul posted on Twitter that he heard Levy is visiting TN this coming Thursday.

I was just thinking that Arkansas would be a good fit, if she's looking to play up-tempo.
But Tennessee is her home state.
