Wouldn't Daniels go to USC where the coach that initially recruited is currently located, also within the PAC12?

Gottlieb was gone well before she arrived at Berkeley.

Certainly there's plenty of openings down south. With all due respect to UW, I also think U$C is much more comparable an academic and athletic environment to Cal, although UW should get credit for not having about 4,000 scandals plague its administration for the better part of the past decade. FWIW, I recall that Daniels was heavily recruited by Stanford but ultimately got Door 1'd, so I would imagine she is prioritizing academics in addition to her basketball. But either one could be a good fit, and Daejon Davis is a recent precedent of a Garfield grad and bay area baller who transferred back up home to UW.

Gottlieb was gone well before she arrived at Berkeley.

Daniels committed in the October following the offseason Gottlieb left, so while Charm was heading recruiting and presumably Daniels' first point of contact, Gottlieb would definitely have been involved in her recruiting, too.

Daniels has talent. With the right coaching she can be an impact player. She would thrive at OSU, but alas, OSU has 2 x AA showing up next season that would be competition at her position. Also, while not expecting her to return, Taya Corosdale has another year of eligibility.

 

[BruinGold]

Daniels was desired by a number of teams on the west coast and according to the Seattle Times "Daniels had UCLA, Stanford, Duke, Oregon State and Princeton also on her shortlist." I think that, with an open roster spot, she has a number of places to pick from.

With Tuitele and Finau transferring and Hollingshed using up her eligibility, Colorado will be losing 3 players who started every game. This was supposed to be "their year," but it didn't really add up to that much. They return plenty of rotational players, so the cupboard isn't bare, but I have a hard time seeing them improve next season.

Well Colorado did make the NCAA for the first time in 9 seasons, so some sort of resurgence.

Not a big surprise considering how the season ended. I lowkey enjoyed her dishing it back to Sophie Cunningham too lol. She'll be a huge get for whoever lands her.

Yeah she could be lethal in the right situation. For those that have seen her more extensively, is she a 3/4?

That was an accomplishment, but I think it would've been viewed as a MAJOR disappointment if they didn't make the Tourney this year. They were 1 and out though. Arizona ended a long Tourney drought the year before and got all the way to the title game. The Pac 12 was way down this year, yet they still only went 9-7 (5th place), a 1 game improvement over their 8-8 finish a year before in a much tougher conference. They've been building to this year for a long time, this was their chance to make some noise, and they really didn't.

Blackwell seems like one of those players that’s going to make her new team better no matter who lands her or what their style is. I’d love to see her at LSU or Texas.

 

[GoCardinal]

I’ve seen folks insinuating she played a major role in some off court issues for Missouri this year. I wonder how many (if any) coaches will take caution even though she’s a good talent.

Anytime Colorado can make the tournament and win over 20 games that’s a great year for them. I’m wondering if Hollingshed would have gone higher in draft if she came out last year. She was hot at years end. She didn’t have the big year this year I expected.

 

[southie]

Was Blackwell the player who was suspended multiple times during her time at Mizzou, or am I thinking of someone else?

Wow. Would love to see Boston College land her…..LOL. She could help L’ville too

Pac 12 was down last year as well. No one was any good outside of Stanford and AZ. Oregon had no guards last year. They were brutal in loss to L’ville in the tourney. Dana Evans was in an awful slump and she scored 29 effortlessly. Worst looking guards she faced all year. Oregon was a sad looking team. Pac 12 used to have terrific regular seasons to watch. The last few years it’s fallen off. UCLA, Oregon and Oregon St are all weaker

Yeah, that was her. Apparently, it was an issue several times this season.

For all the hoopla about SEC underperforming, PAC 12 was even worse. 3 teams lost in first round to a lower seeded team, Arizona gets blown out at home and Utah gets blown out too. 4 of the 6 teams lost to lower seeded teams and they have less Sweet 16 bids than any P5 or the Big East.

Folks know this is the Transfer Portal thread, right?

True, but for the SEC this kind of performance has been typical lately, and the Pac 12 hasn't laid an egg like that in probably close to a decade, so until proven otherwise I'm gonna call it a one year anomaly.

Our resident Colorado fan has disappeared, would be curious to get their take.
