Players Entering Transfer Portal, As of March 2024

If I’m the Oregon AD, I’m talking to Graves about what’s up.
Probably should have spoken to him before now! Attended their senior game night vs. Stanford in Eugene a few weeks ago and after the game he grabbed the microphone and thanked everyone/gave a "please don't fire me" speech in my opinion.

Ummm, you do know Kelly is a man, right?
"You're in danger, girl" is a meme (has Whoopi Goldberg on it). It's meant to be funny.

I'm sure the poster knows that Kelly Graves is a man.
 
Biggest names in portal at the moment IMO:
Saylor Poffenbarger, Arkansas
Taliah Scott, Arkansas
Emma Ronsiek, Creighton
Jalynn Bristow, Iowa State
Ajae Petty, Kentucky
Kateri Poole, LSU
Faith Masonius, Maryland
Cameron Williams, Michigan
Rikki Harris, Ohio State
Grace Van Slooten, Oregon
Chance Gray, Oregon
Talia von Oelhoffen, Oregon State
Kaitlyn Chen, Princeton
Georgia Amoore, Virginia Tech
Clara Strack, Virginia Tech
Legend-Walking? I was actually about to make a post about ppls thoughts on her. She did suffer an ACL injury in January so probably won't be ready by the season. But by tournament time she's 100 percent a difference maker.

Also I like Karlen from Marquette a lot.
 
With Ciezki and Brigham in the portal, Kieger should consider a return to Marquette.

Is this a Marquette-type deal with the PSU players? Players enter a day before their coach changes jobs (stares at Miami)...
 
Weren't people saying portal activity was going to start ramping down? This would be 3 years in a row of 1000+ players. Maybe NEXT year it will start to ease up once the 5th year covid thing is done. Or not. This might just be the new normal.

With Brigham and Ciezki? Doubt it. They had their moments, but they didn't seem able to keep up with the style that Kieger wants (athletic, long, in your face). Brigham might be able to help out a solid P5 as a back-up big. Ciezki has okay numbers (skewed by nonconference output) but looked very small and lost against B1G competition, so I'm not sure where she ends up. I could see her doing well at a mid-major like FGCU or Rhode Island.

Leilani Kapinus is the name to look for to see if Kieger is leaving.

Part of it is the extra covid year.

This is the new normal. Kid doesn’t play as much as they want they go. Learned behavior from youth sports and AAU. And why not? If someone takes them no consequences.
 
This is the final year for Covid transfers I believe. The 2020 class should be graduate students. But a lot an underclassmen are transferring. NIL?
Well, I think there may be a few redshirt PLUS Covid holdovers like Paige Bueckers who could squeeze out another year beyond 24-25.

Kapinus as bellweather? (That was Liz Karlen at Marquette.)
So, out of the last game PSU played, four of the five starters (Brigham, Ciezki, Marisa, Owusu) are not coming back.
We'll probably hear something out of Coral Gables and/or Milwaukee shortly on coaching vacancies. Stay tuned. :cool:

Also, the lawsuit regarding the sit out rule. It's making it easier for those transferring for a second time because they're not required to sit out while this is still in litigation.

Yup! Just one minor note: Ciezki hasn't started the last two games. Pinto did (and she's exhausted her eligibility).

I would say that Kapinus is the bellwether, absolutely. She's Kieger's favorite. Can't see her playing at Marquette, but I could see her playing at Miami if that were to transpire.

And yes, as always, stay tuned!

Could a good coach make the final 4 with the top 8.. I actually think so. Good pool thus far. Definitely some ceiling raisers. I know they aren't big on transfers but Kaitlyn Chen would put Stanford in a different conversation. If Georgia Amoore did go to LSU (I know she has a deep friendship with Poa though I doubt it happens), she definitely makes them like a final 4 team. I don't think there's an Angel Reese type yet tho. Like if they went to a tournament team or good team they could become champions.

Potentially yes. So much is dependent on team chemistry. For example, I'm not sure anyone would expect Iowa's lineup at face value to be a Final Four team or that they'd be better than UCLA/LSU this year. Their ball movement and chemistry is what makes the whole greater than the sum of individual parts.

Pretty stacked portal class thus far, I'm curious if other big names will enter though. Agreed there isn't an Angel Reese/Aneesah Morrow type in here yet though aside from Amoore, but Georgia's only sticking around 1 year wherever she lands.
