Transfer Portal (2022-2023)

[TerpWomenFan]

Texas could be a Final 4 team with Soares. Can score, rebound and a good defensive player (block shots and steals.) Had a game with 33 points, 18 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 steals. Oozing with potential.

She is Kamilla Cardoso’s cousin I believe. I would definitely like to see her at Texas, would be an upgrade over Ebo IMO.

She is the daughter of former Longhorn (87-90) Susan Andersson who was 6'4 and married a tall hoopster from Brazil, I believe.

 

[LETTERL]

Maybe I missed it...but NC State's Kendal Moore and Genesis Bryant have both entered the portal.

I'm not surprised that Moore is transferring but losing Bryant is a bit of a shock; she was being groomed as a PG to share duties with Diamond Johnson next season, now that Raina Perez has graduated.

I uhm, I take it you've never been to Utah?

Stayed in St. George for a week and visited nearby National Parks, thoroughly enjoyed it. Care to explain what you are suggesting? Anyway these players have been there for 3-5 years, so if they didn't want to be there why did they stay that long?

Texas overachieved in the 2020-21 season thanks to Vic. To even get to the Elite 8 and the opportunity to play South Carolina is a great accomplishment and beyond what most head coaches accomplish at their new school in year one. While I wish the outcome had been different in that game, it let all our players and fans know how far we still had to go as a program.

This year was another overachieving year. Most Texas fans couldn't believe that hardly any (maybe one) pre-season poll had us in the Top 25. Creme's pre-season bracketology was the worst as I don't even think he had us in the Top 32. But, Vic did it again and exceeded fan and media expectations while bringing his personal streak of reaching the Elite 8 to 5 consecutive seasons, I believe. He's in rare company with that milestone.

Vic got M. State to back to back championship games. There is no doubt with the resources and Texas recruiting ground he will be doing the same at Texas real soon.

Not really a loss considering what they keep but interesting pieces nonetheless.

Hey what ever happened to Jenna Brown?

 

[Dynastic]

Gotta see who comes in from the portal and whether Dodson gets a waiver.

They still have the Miles-Citron-Westbeld core, which is really the foundation.

Ivey, intentionally or not, has pushed out all the McGraw era holdovers except Westbeld (who Ivey has known since middle school) and Marshall (Ivey heavily involved in her recruitment).

It's the kids that committed to her that were given the lion's share of the PT.

They mentioned during the NC State game that Ivey admitted that they built the offense around Miles. Makes sense but you wonder how the upperclassmen feel about a system built not to maximize their talents but a freshman's?

It’s ND. Dodson gets the waiver, is Marshall going to be their future center or even play?

Looks like first year coach Brittany Young at Austin Peay 20-13 (11-7) gets to start from scratch.

They have 7 in the portal, which includes 4 starters and 3 rotation players. The only two other significant contributors are both seniors, Yamia Johnson who is returning and Karle Pace, who retweeted this.

Hey what ever happened to Jenna Brown?

Opted out of '20-'21. Didn't play at all this year either, I don't know the story with that. Did close to nothing as a Fr. and Soph.

Not the best look to make a tweet like this, IMO

There are things that a coach maybe shouldn't be shouting out loud on the internet...

She was doing okay until the last part. That just comes off as petty.

I thought the same thing.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I like Barnes...but she seems to be having some problems avoiding controversies. I can't help but think of a line from Ron White that might apply to her--"I had the right to remain silent...but not the ability."

Big yikes....not a good look at all. This would be a massive turn off for me as a player. She's had like 3 or 4 instances now of bad/ignorant behavior in the last year or so.

A player CD liked a tweet about a little while back makes me wonder

Looks like it’s deleted now. What’s the gist?

 

[Floridaduck]

Barnes has deleted the tweet. Too much frankness can get you in trouble, I guess. I’m just a fan but my drum beat has been the same. Where are the gym rats? I so admire the players from teams like South Dakota, Villanova, Belmont, etc. who clearly put in the work.

I'm sure she didn't say anything someone else hasn't said...and was admired for doing so.

Raoul was sure to screenshot it and post it again lol

Said: “It wasn’t directed at Gisela… I love her and am helping her find a great situation.”

Unsaid: “Unlike those lazy fat girls on my team. They are on their own.”

Stop digging, Coach.

She needs to start carrying a shovel with her . . .

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I appreciated her tweet. If you know anything about her entire back story, it's one of hard work, will, and grit over God given talent and ability. Probably shouldn't have put quite such a fine tipped point on it, but the general sentiment, I appreciate.

 

[UcMiami]

I think it is a fine sentiment that a lot of college coaches have made known at various times over the years. Making such a statement in the middle of a wave of transfers from your own program is sort of bad timing.

It is also a new world out there with 1000+/- transfers each year and most being made without 'penalty' so coaches are going to need to be better at being honest in the recruiting process. Good teams aren't going to hand a lot of minutes to freshmen and sophomores, juniors and seniors aren't guaranteed minutes either.

I think the transfer part and about it being for the better with that emoji made the tweet go south. The part before that isn't bad and has truth to it.

 

[southie]

I just love it when grown-ass adults try to backtrack and explain that their tweet "came out wrong" as if they had no control over the words they chose to type. I guess after all these years no one taught Adia to slow down and proof read before posting. Seriously, you tweeted exactly what you were thinking; just own it.

The only reason Adia tweeted that was to get attention; now she's getting it.

 

[jbc021592]

All this with Adia has be DEAD. Lol. I can’t even….

 

[Orangutan]

It’s ND. Dodson gets the waiver, is Marshall going to be their future center or even play?

As of now, if Dodson comes back she's the 3rd big. If she doesn't, she's the starting center.

Absolutely. We need more coaches like that. We’re not talking gym class, you know.
