Best of luck to her. However I don’t think Tennessee’s coach provides the best situation for her. In my opinion she needed someone like Coach Mulkey, Coach Staley or Coach Schaefer. She is a great kid but has a dominant personality.

Of the schools we know she visited, only Texas and Tennessee really made sense. She seems to have a good relationship with the other ladies on the team, so why not play a year with your friends and compete for a championship?
 
I'll be interested to see if Rae Burrell (sp?) declares for the draft.

She and Jordan were friends so it makes sense.

What do you mean by mitigate? Do you mean coaches being investigated/reviewed due to the number of transfers leaving? If so, I'm no really sure if it does. There are a lot of examples where programs continued with the coach even though there was a mass exodus from their programs.

Remember with Syracuse, nothing was going to happen to Hillsman until that article from the Athletic came out. The AD was adamant that they trusted him and was going to keep him.

Northern Kentucky comes to mind as I remember a Canadian player was there and players were very vocal about why they were leaving. That coach remained with the program.

The AD at Detroit Mercy was going to stick with their HC as well last summer until something finally convinced them that it wasn't a good idea.

UC Riverside had a horrible situation with a coach that was allowed to continue for way too long, despite there being reports from players and assistant coaches about the problems.

Big get for Tennessee. Reminds me of when Diamond Deshields transferred in, although Diamond's presence likely caused more harm than good at Tennessee. Hopefully Jackson blends in well. Having her in the lineup takes off pressure from Horston having to do so much.

I'm guessing Burrell goes pro since Jackson fills a similar role that Rae does, but I think it's in Rae's best interest to come back. She's been behind the curve all year due to injury, so while I think she's likely a 1st round draft pick, I'm not sure she makes a team this year. If she gets healthy and comes back one more year, she'll have a chance to be a standout again and improve her draft stock. It's a loaded draft next year but based on her 2020-21 play, I think she could still be a very high pick.

I would be happy if I was Tennessee, she is a good player.

But you do have a point, plugging in big talents does not always equate to success or being better. Chemistry is a real thing and managing that is key. Florida was better off without L. Briggs, A&M was much better following the graduation of Carter. There are countless examples of it.

I would not be shocked to see better chemistry/team performance from Kentucky next year after Howard goes pro.

I mean that making the transfer process easier makes it less likely that abused players would feel like they had no options available to them. Of course, as we all know, entering the transfer portal is not a guarantee that someone will pick you up.

To your point, however, I suspect that if a program was losing players wholesale on a consistent basis, eventually either the AD is going to act, or quality players will simply discount it as a choice, eventually forcing the AD to act. I view that as secondary, however.
