Transfer portal part 2

Thought I read where we needed another guard? She is skilled.

Perhaps you missed the now locked thread where she said she had no interest in Uconn while she was in high school.

Anyone know how this works? Does the player then reach out to the teams in which she is interested?

It's not hard to imagine it's already known there is mutual interest, because of back channel communications. Not her in particular, just in general. If a player enters the portal and already knows where they are going to go, somehow they had to find out there was a place waiting for them at their new school.

I have always assumed it mean't the player would initiate or choose who they want to talk with instead of being bombarded by the entire country to come to their school.

Hannah Gusters did the same thing last year, of course she followed a coach who changed schools. This one is a little bit different.
 
I think Rivers will be a star, so it’s definitely a loss, don’t get me wrong. But she got as many minutes as she possibly could given she was an offensive liability this season. I remember she had NFOY aspirations before the season began, so I imagine this is related to playing time.

I wish her well! I’ll root for her whenever she lands.

Staley's two big system works well enough on offense (especially when you have a Wilson or Boston inside), but a slasher with limited 3-point range like Rivers is always going to struggle to get buckets in the half court. I get her desire to leave.
 
Interesting that she had UConn in her top 12 in high school, but later said she would never play with them.

I remember hearing her on media day with dreams of being freshman of the year. She did get some minutes in the tournament but I get it.

I wonder if her 3 game tournament suspension by Dawn had anything to do with her decision?

I think it's a combination of both of these. She had big aspirations and you can't really blame her after winning some national awards and leading the country in scoring to being low on the depth chart. She was behind defensively to start the season and really couldn't buy a basket. I can see why as a star player she might have been eyeing other options.

I believe that suspension was the last straw for her but I figured those extended minutes in the Final Four would make her reconsider. I believe this is a transfer that likely wouldn't have happened under the old transfer rules. I wish her the best, somebody is getting a good one. If she can find her shot again she will be a problem.

Perhaps you missed where we’ve gone over at already. Perhaps you missed that she’s not in HS anymore. Perhaps you missed how these players are changing their minds like changing socks. Perhaps?
 
Curios if Microsoft has a Word Template out there for these portal transfers. Just about all I have read start out with, "I first want to thank God for blessing me..."

She could work on getting better. That was another option.

Was she suspended for something she didn't do? Or she feels she's above being held accountable. If the latter I tell her to...kick rocks.
