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.

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

Thanks for clarifying...so is she eligible starting in Jan or would she have to wait until next fall?
 
So, if Dorka comes back and no further transfers in/out, UConn will have (a more manageable) 12 next year.

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.

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.
 
Saddened but not surprised. Depending on the nature and severity of her injuries I would not be surprised if she doesn't play until next season.

I wouldn't be shocked if she went to a mid major or D2 program that has the academic program she is looking for if there is concern with long term injury issues.
 
"In Division I sports, student-athletes may transfer once to another four-year NCAA school and are eligible to compete immediately, provided they are academically eligible and the previous school does not object, without sitting out a year in residence."

THIS FROM THE INTERNET! I believe this to be the actual rule. As long as it's their FIRST transfer.
 
I believe Saylor was giving the high fives along the bench when a teammate made a three yesterday. Hope her experience at UCONN was positive and that this was a personal decision. God bless Saylor, have a fantastic career.

Since she didn't play this year, I am fairly sure she will be eligible to play second semester. As you say, she might not want to do that. Other than rest/rehab, she might also choose to sit second semester, so as not to burn a whole season of eligibility while playing only half of one.

I'd be stunned if she went D2. If healthy, she can certainly see playing time at almost any D1 in the country.
