Ain't no M.F. coming to Duke.

There was some guy on Twitter saying all season that she should transfer to Duke. If she can't play for Staley or SC... Can't see her wanting to play for Lawson or Duke.

I see what you did there.

Yeah, rumor is that she is waiting to sign with South Carolina but she is having visa issues that are delaying the announcement.

Yup! She can’t announce until the visa is cleared but she’s pretty much a Gamecock.

I've been quietly wondering if some international players might start skipping playing in the US.

Not as long as there might be money to be made.

Consistent problem was a frontcourt that could overpower all but about a half-dozen teams, but those half-dozen were the only ones that mattered.

Half dozen?

UConn and UCLA.

Texas? 3 outta 4 ain’t bad.

Does anybody know why it took five applications before she was approved at Mississippi State?

Without discussing politics, I assume that Immigration and naturalization is a bit short handed at the moment?

Was her visa for only one year? If not, is she having to go through visa approval only because of her intent to transfer rom Starkvegas to Columbia?

Are other student athletes facing these issues - or is she being singled out? Is the US having problems with peaceful Kenya? Coffee tariff?

IDGI.

Obtaining visas to the US is a confusing mess with or without the political climate. From the experience of colleagues and friends of mine, it sometimes comes down to the agreements between countries with respect to immigration.

Look at Nika Muhl 's situation when trying to obtain her work visa last summer. What seems straightforward isn't unfortunately when it comes to immigration.

Two years ago, Aga Makurat arrived at Vandy several weeks late from Poland due to Visa delays in spite of the fact she and her family had been through the process twice with the older sisters. It's just a giant bureaucracy and always has been. Sometimes it works OK, many times it does not.

Tale of the tape--Williams has averaged 2.3 blocks per game over 3 seasons, Okot 1.1 blocks per game in 1 season. Better double check which one is actually a rim protector.

I’m not arguing who the better player is. We have 4 6’2”+ forwards on the roster. We don’t need another F. We need a bigger player to defend other very tall players. I watched her play. She’s got talent. Is she an AA? No, but there aren’t any 6’6” AA available. She’s the type of player WE need for what WE do.

Yep. Same here. We shall see what develops but with some international players having issues, especially on the men's side of basketball, I think some international players might stay in their home country.

It’s a very drawn out, tiring process for those that are trying to receive the Visa. Let’s just say Immigrant Student Athletes aren’t at the top of the Government’s list when it comes to granting temporary citizenship.
