That has been my assessment all along. Prince is currently not healthy and will be using next year to get healthy. She was also not at USA basketball trials for the U19 team a few weeks back.
Someone knowledgeable helped her with this statement. Seems like this is base on the start of applying to the NCAA for eligibility (not necessarily for next year, but possibly receiving another redshirt year).Hmmmm...
I don't think so. That would simply be a application to extend the window from 5 to 6 years to use the 4 full years of eligibility. She would also not be required to put this medical waiver in place until the 5 year window has expired I.e. 4 years from now at which point she will be two years WNBA eligible. This is getting strange. February surgery to remove the rods makes sense & would have been ~6 months after initial surgery to insert the rods (August 2018).
Yea this is about immediate eligibility at her next stop. "Received transfer release" is code for Texas is not going to oppose her petition to play immediately- that's the first big hurdle.
Agree with everything you say, but in the back of my head this little voice keeps saying, “a bird in the hand.” Whoever the first legitimate Big is that commits to UConn, that’s the one I want.
More to the point. Why would she need to list her name in the transfer portal if she’s done playing basketball? She can transfer anywhere she wants if she isn’t interested in a basketball scholarship.
My voices are more an angel and a devil both sitting on my shoulder. The angel wants Prince at UCONN. The devil keeps playing with my fears of Prince ending up at ND-AND GETTING A WAIVER APPROVED for this coming season.
Based on the past 4 or so years of NOT getting but one (albeit a terrific kid and post) I too tend to want that bird caged in a Uconn Uniform, I'm tired of posting "Uconn needs an EFFECTIVE TRUE BIG". That said --that's what Geno needs NOW.
You're spot on with every point, I think, with one exception. With the number of transfers going to Vic then perhaps the "piling on" perspective would apply more to MSS than UConn, which has had far more transfers out in three years (4) than transfers in (2). Especially if Prince has to sit a year.
Haven't heard from our Texas posters in a while. I will certainly look it up but I believe Aston is close to the end of her current contract. Will make for a very interesting reckoning because she has clearly under achieved but this is TX and WCBB-will the university even care?So...do we think Karen is catching on yet that she hasn’t done the best job of developing talent and improving her team? Or is she in Hollyland where she’s in denial she might be the problem?
I would really like to see her succeed but as each passing year goes by and the talent regresses, I am getting more disheartened. At one point Joyner Holmes was even with Cox and Chrystal Dangerfield In talent, potential and effort. Not so much anymore.
Stop. Just stop.
I don't want to compare Holly to Aston too closely because Karen is actually a coach. But when you compare the amount of talent and their resultant success in the NCAA's there are similarities. Aston however never had a overall number 1 recruit and turn her into mush, and Aston never had to replace a legend. I once had faith in Karen, but not now. There is a dumpster fire there waiting to happen.
The guard at Texas who wanted to leave but was talked into staying for her sophomore season has now decided to transfer this season. Also Coco, it is not blasphemous to compare Prince to Wolters at the same point in their careers. Prince could do more things than Wolters could do at the same age.
For me it not a simple yes or no answer and many related factors have to come into play.
