Transfer portal part 2



Leilani Correa. She's a bucket. Was really impressed by her when they played UConn the past couple of years. Actually when I saw Caroline Ducharme outplay her I knew CD was next up. Anyways will be a great scorer wherever she lands

Mya Hollingshed returned to Colorado for a 5th year and just went #8 in the WNBA Draft. Ashley Joens is returning to Iowa St. for a 5th year. That took me zero seconds to think of 2 very big exceptions. I'm sure there are many, many more

edit--and Cate Reese returning to Arizona for a 5th year

From the teams I follow, I would add Monika Czinano and Grace Berger.

The post got removed. So not sure if she's actually in the portal

I've never been more aware than I am this year of how thankful I am for the stability we are fortunate enough to have at South Carolina. Seriously no words adequately express how much I appreciate that being the case.

(Ha.. And ironically enough as I was typing this Dawn's commercial for Oofos came on TV.. LoL)

With all due respect, who writes this stuff, and why doesn't anyone proofread it? "I will be changing directions within my decision"? At least we were spared "with that being said,..."

I think she is trying to be formal. However I have the same frustration.

I tend to think most of the social media farewells where players wax philosophically and sound extremely appreciative are more for other coaches to get a good impression of them in the portal rather than illustrate how they actually feel. I'm sure many are genuine but I also tend to think some are over the top and all part of creating the image the players want so they maximize their opportunities elsewhere.

I also don't think there is anything wrong with this practice but it certainly is something to consider.

I'm fine with the idea. When the execution tortures the English language, I'm not sure how effective the messaging is. A simple, "I'm grateful to my coaches, fellow athletes and University of X for the wonderful opportunities I've had, but I've determined it will be best for me to pursue the next stage of my academic and athletic career elsewhere, so I will be entering the portal." would suffice...

It would be interesting if players started posting exactly how they feel. So, for example, a player like Evans, if she was completely honest, might post the following:

I can’t believe that Coach Abe recruited me and then bailed at UCF. What’s worse, she’s taking half the damned team with her to UGA. There’s no way in hell I’m going to UCF now. College recruiters be advised, I AM AVAILABLE!!! :D

“Thanks everybody but I’m out”.

Other than foregoing her opportunity for a Princeton degree, it’s not really shocking in a conventional sense. Plank played only 7 mpg, averaging just over 2 ppg this past season. She did not play at all in Princeton’s 2nd round loss to IN.

Now there's a player in whom I'd be interested. Honesty is a valuable character trait.

Yeah, UCF has almost nobody left at the moment. Hopefully Coach Messer can fill some holes but this year is looking like it will be very rough.

I seem to recall some transfers getting waivers due to a coaching change in the past. But does the ability to transfer without sitting out now hurt new coaches without big reputations? It seems that when a coach leaves, the entire roster leaves too. In the past, new coaches inherited an existing roster and had to build their program through recruiting. It seems that if in year one you have a completely ravaged roster, it would be difficult to recruit players to come, as they’d have to endure the rebuild for most of their career. Coaches like Kara Lawson have been able to use their name, imagine, and likeness to avoid this possibility.
