Yeah.....that hasn't been the case for a long time. It's no different than free agency in professional sports. It's a business now, with paywalled websites, Twitter/X spaces talking about it. The transfer portal is it's own industry.
longterm maybe, but they would be a killer team next year regardless of conference
We take junior transfers too, but I was assuming she'd be a grad transfer. If she's not graduating, and she'll be a senior, then you're right.
She will be a graduate. She’s one of those players who left high school early during the early COVID times when the high school seasons were in question.
That was my first thought too. Thought it was kind of funny the whole “America’s team” and how much she loved her team and where she played just to enter the portal. Kind of confusing from an outside perspective
No room on the roster. 12 coming back, 2 newcomers arriving at the end of next month, and one scholarship left open for Strong.
This is a great point and another reason y I like the transfer portal and the 5th year in general. If ur school doesn't offer ur grad program or if u wanna go to another school for grad school that's super normal. And especially in this day an age when job market is so competitive and grad degrees are becoming more common to me it makes sense. I also think nil is really an unbelievable opportunity. I was on vtech message boards the other day and they talked about Liz kitley making 150k purely speculation, for her 5th year. But leaving college with a grad degree and 150k is an insane deal. I know there are taxes but it really is an important opportunity to make the most of.
Do Not Contact often means a player's decision has already been made.........I assume Kentucky is a likely landing spot......
after watching Strong's interview, her response about wanting to stay close to home appeared to be a slip-up as she then mumbled something about going away............got a feeling she's Duke-bound...........as always nothing would make me happier than to be 100% wrong....
If it's not Strong I'd take her in a heartbeat.......
Could be UNC bound if the “staying close to home” is true. Honestly…who even knows at this point. In my opinion it’s been dragged out way too long.after watching Strong's interview, her response about wanting to stay close to home appeared to be a slip-up as she then mumbled something about going away............got a feeling she's Duke-bound...........as always nothing would make me happier than to be 100% wrong....
Why would West Coast kids want to go to Carolina?
)
I see her listed as a grad transfer....
Sure doesn't, considering the two transfers from OSU and WSU we've seen.
Not definite.
Yep! She was asked about factors playing into making her decision she said “being somewhat close to home..I mean they’re all kind of close but i don’t know, i don’t know how close I want to be to home.” Seems like a slipafter watching Strong's interview, her response about wanting to stay close to home appeared to be a slip-up as she then mumbled something about going away............got a feeling she's Duke-bound...........as always nothing would make me happier than to be 100% wrong....
Frosh, soph, and grad. But getting into grad school can be even harder than undergrad, depending on what your subject area is.
Relegated to a small conference might be the case.
I want to remain hopeful that Sarah Strong will join the Huskies’ roster in the fall, but I’m becoming more doubtful as time goes by.after watching Strong's interview, her response about wanting to stay close to home appeared to be a slip-up as she then mumbled something about going away............got a feeling she's Duke-bound...........as always nothing would make me happier than to be 100% wrong....
She's a Jersey girl and will get all the playing time she wants against good competition........why you got somethin against Jersey?
