They signed 7 players in November so they will almost have a full roster.

Women’s Basketball Inks Seven to National Letters of Intent - Indiana State University Athletics

Ole Miss just picked up a commitment from Jayla Alexander (Pearl, MS). Don't think she was very highly rated (stars-wise) but led her team to a state championship and is a really underrated player.

Jimmy Hyams, from sports talk sports animal in Knoxville, is reporting that Evina Westbrook and her mom have informed Holly Warlick of her intention to transfer..

I heard this on the sports animal, so I don't have a link yet but will continue to see if this has been reported anywhere else yet

The soap opera that is Lady Vol basketball right now continues to unfold

Corvallis is 35 minutes south of Salem, OR, where Evina went to high school! Come home Evina!

Would make perfect sense

Would make perfect sense

Of course, Eugene is 70 minutes south of Salem, OR.

If Evina gets the right coaching she can be an All American

I guess all she has to do is stay put...

 

[Hayven]

If the transfer rumor is true, I think Evina could end up at Louisville, UCLA, or Oregon.
Oregon St has a lot of guards

If that coach will teach her defense and put her at shooting guard I believe she will be very good.

If Evina has to sit out a year, Katie McWilliams, Pivec, and Tudor will be gone when Evina is eligible. Only Destiny Slocum (if she doesn't declare early) and Aleah Goodman will be our guards (plus Jasmine Simmons). OSU would be a great location for Evina's final 2 years of eligibility.

Slocum and Westbrook would be a nightmare combo for other teams yikes

 

[bennyskid]

And IIRC, OSU was in Evina's final 2 or 3.

"So, you're saying there's hope?!"

Not in the transfer portal “YET” but look for Elizabeth Balogun (Georgia Tech) to end up at Louisville (with Walz) or Mississippi State

This happens more than I like... promising ACC youngsters who transfer..... more often than not....they go to the SEC. Maybe its not that many..... I can think of three (Davis, Deshields, Gray)

This may have been covered earlier

This was covered in nother thread. Some of us, including me, are predicting she will land at one of the Florida schools, perhaps back home at UCF.

Women’s Basketball Transfers: Fall 2018–Summer 2019

Stephanie Watts is apparently leaving that school in Orange County as well

Might have been covered in another thread .... Possibly?

that didn't take very long.....

Unfortunate. She seemed to be having a bounceback season was finally healthy and in noticeable better condition. She was originally a USC? commit so perhaps she heads home to Cali.

 

[enigmatic]

Assuming she does get the HC position, I wonder if shes ready to go back into the P5. Despite the success she's had at Buffalo, remember that it didnt work out for her at Indiana. We shall see though what happens.

One of the issues with Coach Jack is her religious bent. Nothing wrong with being religious - Vivian Stringer is and back when the team was doing well I remember that the team attended church with her every Sunday, and I was at team meals where grace was said by different players each time. But in schools that are not religiously based - such as Rutgers or Penn State (or Kansas State) there is a line. I'm not sure where it is, but you certainly cannot require players to attend specific worship or require specific religious practice. It was (I think) part of the issue at Indiana for Coach Jack; it was Deb Patterson's downfall (or part of it) at K State, it was an issue with the late Rene Portland at Penn State. Just something to be concerned with.

During one of UT's games it was said that at the end of her freshman season, when she played very sparingly, she went into Aston's office with the intention of seeking a transfer but was essentially talked out of it. She did have a better year, obviously, but clearly the re-recruitment didn't stick.
