Transfer Portal (2022-2023)

[southie]

Wonder if she goes to Vic and Texas?….

Or if she wants to go to another smaller school, she’d thrive at MSU in the Valley under Beth Cunningham.

Unless Zaay is a grad transfer, she for sure would have to sit out one season at her next school. Even then, she might need a waiver for immediate eligibility. Would be tough for a school to commit a scholarship for 2 seasons if she is not guaranteed immediate eligibility this upcoming season.

 

[Shmermerer]

I thought it was Kansas, Mizzou, and Louisville?.. Maybe I’m wrong.

I think we were in her top 5.

 

[southie]

Bad move if she is toast, She has a good recruiting class coming in. Nothing is going on in Minnesota that's not going on in other top programs. Must admit Scalia transfer caught us by surprise. I'm sure she caught wind of the mass exodus and wanted no parts of a rebuild with a freshman class. I think her leaving was a WNBA move. Interested in seeing where she lands.

For one thing, Minnesota is not a top program. And, no, this is not going on at this extreme at other programs.

The picture they chose LOL

I'm guessing this is before the 2022 class with 3 top 100 players.

Ooh. Okay. Well, I think it’s either down to DePaul/Louisville.

 

[jbc021592]

I’m shocked she hasn’t been fired yet.

 

[Blueberries]

Ooh. Okay. Well, I think it’s either down to DePaul/Louisville.

I’m hopeful for DePaul to get some big names. I like Bruno and his system and would love for him to get some larger names to continue to help draw in talent to a school that isn’t a big name to high schoolers to help build along side Morrow for a good run before his retirement, whenever that may be.

Being from MO myself, I have heard rumblings behind the scenes about Blackwell, and they’re not good things. Maybe this will make her turn over a new leaf to be frank. Let’s just say that.

I just want ND to get good transfers since 3 did transferred.

 

[Shmermerer]

Hoping it’s DePaul. If we could add her and Peoples, the team would be real special. Like the 2010 team.

 

[mudcat]

This brings the roster down to 11 Including 4 incoming Frosh. Prince, Rogers, and Paopao remain the core veterans. Kyei, Hurst, and Pinto logged a lot of minutes. Not sure about Hosendove future. Lots of PT available for incoming frosh.
Not super surprised at Bigby transfer. Least amount of PT on team. Maybe better fit at non-Pac 12.
Not sure if other shoes will drop but I’m guessing Graves wants a roster of 12 at least so will be shopping the portal.

I'm thinking Kyei has a big breakout season next year

 

[Figurehead]

Does Oregon have anyone besides Poa-Poa and prince?

You want a player in Bigby that averaged two points a game?

 

[Iluvacc2]

Is she a grad transfer? Otherwise she would have to sit out a year no?

 

[SECbbfan24]

Is she a grad transfer? Otherwise she would have to sit out a year no?

Who knows at this point. Its getting difficult to keep track anymore.

The new norm is for a college athlete to hit 4 schools by graduation. Welcome to 2022.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Is she a grad transfer? Otherwise she would have to sit out a year no?

There's something sad about her journey. It lacks a compass...and seemingly sound company.

 

[Basket]

I think Blackwell is going to DePaul or Louisville.

Louisville ? Maybe there’s a chance for next year. This team is starving, I mean starving for top tier talent. They need difference makers or bust

Haley Jones and Osborne were the most consistently productive of the bunch

The list is cut off. It is missing 7 more names which includes A. Boston.

On the 2019 class some comments:
transferring from 'stable programs':

24 Kierstan Bell	Ohio State
42 Kennedy Brown	Oregon State
31 Nyah Green	Louisville
13 Jaden Owens	UCLA

transferring from coach other than recruiter:

13 River Baldwin	Florida State
33 Samantha Brunelle	Notre Dame
32 Sammie Puisis	Florida State
15 Angel Jackson	USC
5 Rickea Jackson	Miss State
11 Jordyn Oliver	Baylor
21 Anaya Peoples	Notre Dame
12 Celeste Taylor	Texas

Staying (so far)

1 Brea Beal	South Carolina
0 Aliyah Boston	South Carolina
11 Jakia Brown-Turner	NC State
3 Zia Cooke	South Carolina
44 Aubrey Griffin	Uconn
23 Jordan Horston	Tennessee
14 Diamond Miller	Maryland
15 Ashley Owusu	Maryland
1 Francesca Belibi	Stanford
30 Haley Jones	Stanford
20 Charisma Osborne	UCLA
10 Ashten Prechtel	Stanford

Yes it is 50% but if coaches leave all bets are off in current free transfer environment and only 16.7% are transferring from the same coach that recruited them.

 

[HuskyMJ]

Its only cut off in the way this message board embeds tweets but if you actually click the tweet to where the image enlarges, you see Boston's name

 

[HuskyMJ]

Yes… Which is why I think DePaul could be where she ends up—Same as Peoples (from ND).

However, I could most definitely see Louisville getting her.

I don't know if I see the fit with Peoples and DePaul. Morrow is not a 3 point shooter but she is great inside. Peoples cannot shoot, if DePaul now has multiple non shooters on the floor how much would that hurt their offense? I think that is a big part of their attack. If they are going to add a non shooter I feel they could add a much better scorer than Peoples who only averaged 3.8 ppg

If you click on the Raoul tweet you will see the full list.

 

[DefenseBB]

So, getting to the task at hand, the available players from 2019 that have 2 years left are:
#20 Kennedy Brown
#18 Anaya Peoples
#6 Sam Brunelle
#30 River Baldwin

To me, positional need ignored, I rank the 4 as listed. Brown is #1, Peoples #2, Sam #3 and River #4. Granted, I have only seen River play 10 times or so over the 3 years but she's never impressed me. Heck she's a poor man's Jen Staiti, size-yes, peak condition-no, motor-minimal.

Brown seems to get the most out of her abilities but if she thinks she really is a stretch 4, than um, good luck. Peoples can help some program elevate themselves and Indiana seems very logical to me given the success they've had with transfers. Heck, NC State could use her too.

Brunelle has limitations either due to injuries or simply having hit her ceiling. I do not see her as a starter on any top 10-15 team given what I have seen.

I am curious to see where they all land though.

They “staying” list is almost entirely with championship contenders

I could see Brown landing at Iowa State, where her sister is committed for the 2023 class. There is also a clear need at her position next to Ashley Joens where she could stretch out because Joens does a lot of posting up herself.

 

[southie]

Coaches from Baylor, Texas, and ISU started following Kennedy Brown on Instagram; so, seems like she's getting plenty of early interest.

I would actually do a very different order:
1. Brunelle - really suffered from injury/coaching change. If she is healthy (and I think she is at this point) she has better stats than others.
2. Puisis - spot up three point shooter.
3. Peoples - quality guard suffering from new coach
4. Baldwin/Brown - height is their calling card, but neither really impresses as a starter.

Not sure any of them are starters for a top 10 team unless the team has a desperate hole in their roster. But I think they could all fill a 12-20 minute role for the right team.

 

[UcMiami]

Yup - mostly well run organizations and with good coaches - of course four are from teams still playing and 3 more only just saw their season end. Doesn't hurt that all but Belibi, Prechtel, and Griffin are starters, too.

While Raoul's tweet was focusing on McDonald's HS class of 2019 and pointing out that 50% of the class has transferred or is currently in the portal, the class of 2020 is not that far behind in transfer rate with 11 of the 24 already transferred or in the portal.
