Saylor Poffenbarger in Transfer Portal [merged thread]

[Vowelguy]

This may be one of the greatest "bad hot take" threads in BY history.

 

[jchusky]

not saying the person who wrote this is inaccurate, but how does he get the news 1st over someone that covers the team?

 

[huskiemaniac]

Count me as not surprised, at all. Good luck to her wherever she lands.

 

[dtbtbtb]

Not that surprised aside than the timing...she had long odds in front of her getting meaningful playing time

 

[huskeynut]

I can think of a few reasons she decided to enter the portal. No sense speculating. We will know the reason or we won't.

So - best of luck to Saylor as she moves on with her life and collegiate career.

Not surprised here either. I thought the writing was on the wall last year when she couldnt get minutes on a smaller roster. If she couldnt carve out a role then, I didn't see her beating out Ducharme or Fudd going forward.

 

[Gus Mahler]

She looked quite sad during the warmups yesterday. I wish her well, but classes of more than three are hard to sustain for four years.

I noticed that, too. I wonder if the team knew and if that might explain why the bench was relatively subdued.

Saylor said "Geno, you're a fine coach" (you're a fine coach)
"What a good team this will be" (such a fine team)
"But there's not enough playin' time here for me"

Not surprised here either, although the timing seems odd since I think she'll now burn this year of eligibility.

She didn't play in game 1 so I dont think so.

Where was this quoted?

Paraphrased:

Looking Glass – Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)

“Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” stands as arguably the most important song on Looking Glass‘ self-titled debut album. It reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1972

She won't burn a year of eligibility since she hasn't played any minutes.

She's already off the roster on the UConn website

Very, very sad. But I wish her the best. Hope she finds a place where everything works for her.

 

[bballnut90]

Thanks for clarifying...so is she eligible starting in Jan or would she have to wait until next fall?

 

[Bama fan]

I had high hopes for her at UConn, and wish her well in the future.

 

[Vowelguy]

So, if Dorka comes back and no further transfers in/out, UConn will have (a more manageable) 12 next year.

The Looking Glass.

Good luck to Saylor wherever she lands.

This board does a pretty good job of keeping track of those that transfer. I am sure she will do great things!

 

[Vowelguy]

Not sure what the rule is now. I would think Jan, but not sure. Also, if she's injured she might wanna rest/rehab and be 100% next fall.

 

[Rb335]

Not surprising. It seemed inevitable that someone would leave given the logjam for minutes, it was just a matter of who and when. Hopefully she gets healthy and finds success elsewhere. Reminds me of Lexi Gordon, a player who likely wouldn’t have ever cracked the rotation, but found success at good power 5 programs. It has to be hard to be a recruit ranked around 30th. At Uconn you are going to have to beat out top 5 talent to play, and likely aren’t content to ride the pine for 4 years.

As she should be.
