November 2020 transfer thread

[HuskyNan]

Felix Dia de los Muertos!

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Is there a technical reason (bandwidth or something) why threads are started over or is just perceived convenience?

Not complaining, curious.

 

[Plebe]

The predecessor threads may be consulted here (October) and here (March-September).

List is not exhaustive, but is meant to collect all "significant" transfers (players either highly ranked as recruits or with a track record of significant performance in college).

Any corrections and suggested additions are welcome.

Akira Levy on the move again. Signed with Western Kentucky, reopened her recruitment after a coaching change, signed with Missouri, transferred from there after one season, signed with Vanderbilt, is now transferring without playing in a game.

 

[DaBball]

Vic adds a top JUCO transfer. King-Hawea averaged 20.5 PPG, 7.3 RPG, and 5.4 APG:

 

[Dillon77]

Whoa.. A couple of thoughts here:
- Shemara Williams is doing to the "tour across America" and she's just a sophomore. If you might recall, she was a high school superstar in Wisconsin and Caroline Kieger got to keep her in Milwaukee when Williams committed to Marquette. Then Kieger bolted to Penn State and Williams went to UVA, who was very much in the hunt initially.

She was hurt early in the season last year at UVA, but ended up as the third leading scorer (8+ ppg) behind Jocelyn Willoughby and Dominque Toussaint, both of whom were seniors. Looked like she and Carole Miler (6 ppg) were going to be the team leaders this year. Surprise!

- Watch out ACC fans -- UVA could be a mega-disaster this year. Willoughby, Toussaint and Lisa Jablonski all graduated. Williams and Kylie Kornegay-Lucas (good rebounder with promise as a scorer) left after their frosh years. (Kornegay-Lucas went to East Carolina, I believe.)

- That leaves Carole Miller at 6 ppg as the only returning player who averages more than one hand per game.
Emily Maupin, a transfer from Elon (well, Liberty, but she never played there) who scored 11 ppg for Elon is a grad transfer.

Still, this was a 13-17 team with Willoughby and Toussaint. Now? Geesh. I know Tina Thompson was one of the new UVA AD's first hires (at the time), but not sure this gig is going to work out well for anyone. Stay tuned

I continues to baffle me how often some of these players move around. It's just a mirror of AAU and honestly makes it difficult to follow.

I do believe players should have the right to play for a coach and situation that is the best fit for them but when I see players moving on from schools they transferred to initially without even playing a game for the new school before they looking again, it makes me wonder if the schools or coaches are the problem.

 

[triaddukefan]

Went from a starter her freshman year (perhaps all-acc freshman team) to a bench player her last couple of years with the new coach.

I've already chalked UVA as ACC wins for us

Levy's twitter feed is pretty transparent about her struggles with mental health. I wonder if this might be playing into her situation. Times are difficult for folks who are prone to depression and other problems. Really hope she finds someplace good and good for her - I enjoyed watching her play.

UVA could do a reverse “run the table”☹️

 

[triaddukefan]

The NCAA makes no sense sometimes........... passing out waivers like Oprah passed out those cars.... yet a walk-on transfer can't play this year?? Straight

Now I'm heated

Is this the first known waiver denial this season??

She was a huge spark plug on the Mizzou team of two years ago, and was a difference-maker in their upset win at Starkville that season. I'm disappointed that I won't be able to see her play this season (barring a very fast transfer plus waiver approval).

 

[JDuro]

As many predicted...

Mama was a rolling stoneeeeeeeeeee.........

 

[militarydog]

As many predicted...

“...started her college career at UCONN”.
Seriously??? I didn’t realize that. I don’t recall that ever being previously mentioned. Odd because I thought it would have been discussed. Why did she leave?

 

[SECbbfan24]

As many predicted...

not surprised. Wiggins, Matharu, Hayes and that transfer they brought in will reduce her playing time. She wasn’t very accurate shooting 3 ball last year anyways

 

[southie]

Assuming she intends to play starting in January, Texas for sure has an open scholarship for Andra with only 12 players currently on the 2020-21 roster

She honestly isn't fit for Vic's system. I can understand why Vic took a chance on her, when she is "on" hitting 3's, she can be dangerous. Unfortunately she had a very rough last year, she didn't seem to ever find herself and didn't seem comfortable out there. Vic is very defensive minded, disruptive. and physical, not exactly what she does well. AEH honestly would thrive more for a team like DePaul, that likes to play fast and jack up a bunch of 3's.

It was discussed on the BY extensively in her freshman season. It was said Geno wanted her to leave but no one really knows what caused it. So, after awhile, the BY moved on and stopped talking about it. It is a dead issue for the BY. Some others may know more about it than I do.

I don't know much about her. Hard to imagine Vic recruiting her and welcoming her as a transfer if he didn't believe she fit into his program.

North Carolina head coach is following her on Instagram already . . .

 

[DaBball]

Espinoza-Hunter said she transferred because Mississippi State did not have an Occupational Therapy program, so it is likely her next destination will.
