Transfer Thread Pt 2.....

[SCspur]

Oregon has a crowded front court. That would be an interesting choice.

I have a feeling a PAC-12 school is involved. A&M and Oregon faced off agaisnt each other a couple times this past season and Anriel did quite well. I'm not sure but I would think it would be Oregon before Oregon St.

I think Dawn may be able to sell her on SC but I think she would step in nicely at Louisville with Hines-Allen leaving.

She certainly got a chance to see Oregon play this last season. I believe she stated she's looking for a team with a chance to win a Championship. Oregon is definitely on the rise and potentially a Championship contender. But at Oregon she'd be sharing minutes w/ Hebard, Sabally (maybe X2, we'll see how much the younger sister plays), Boley, Gildon and McGwire. Maybe Howard would jump over most of them for playing time, but I doubt Hebard and Satou are going to be displaced as starters (maybe Satou could slide to the 3).

We aren’t getting her because our staff doesn’t want her. I think Dawn may be able to sell her on SC but I think she would step in nicely at Louisville with Hines-Allen leaving.

You know this how?

FWIW I'm very good friends with Anriel's parents, (Richard & Chè Howard) and they both confirmed that if A&M wasn't the only school that allowed 2 sport athletics, her choice would have been SC.

 

[CocoHusky]

You’ve heard this numerous times on here. She isn’t the kind of kid we recruit. I’m not going to go over appearance or attitude on a kid but don’t be surprised when we aren’t in the top 5, it’s because we choose not to be.

I actually have NOT "heard this numerous times on here"- nor would i believe it if i read it here because the same things were said about Azura and Batouly. "Who is we?
"I’m not going to go over appearance or attitude on a kid" -But you just did!
UCONN recruits basketball players-She is a basketball player.

Can you also confirm UConn isn’t on her list so we can move on talking about her on here? Haha

 

[Charliebball]

because you know that no recruit ever turns down a UConn offer........if you want to win a championship you have to go to UConn.....................or ND...............

For the record, I wish we would recruit her. I think she would help immensely.

South Carolina one of 5 schools Anriel Howard is considering... my guess on the other four would be Miss St, Louisville, Texas A&M, and maybe Oregon or Georgia.

I think the 5 she's considering are in addition to A&M (which Coach Blair says she would be welcome to return).

Anyone else think it's odd that a graduate transfer could be allowed to take 5 official visits, and then decide to remain at the school she currently attends?

Well, then, you should be able to ask them who the 5 schools are . . .

So it’s like she’s getting a hall pass?

Strange but made only possible because Texas A&M has given her a release and we are operating under the current transfer rules. More strange is that Texas A&M is not obligated to welcome her back if that what she decides to do.

From the article

Elite SEC player has South Carolina among finalists for potential transfer

Che Howard declined to name the four other schools USC is competing against for Anriel's services, but she did say that of the five finalists, two advanced to the most recent Final Four on the NCAA tournament and two others, South Carolina being one, made it to the Sweet 16.

Notre Dame, Connecticut, Louisville and Mississippi State were this year's Final Four participants.

As for a timeline on Howard's decision, her mother said she would take official visits to all five schools first then choose soon after, "well before June."
below,


Pretty funny that the revelation is in the form of "clues" . Guessing she likes the south, Louisville and Mississippi State are 2 of her 5 with UConn / ND not on the list??

 

[CocoHusky]

The way you are throwing the word "we" around (as if you were UCONN staff) I wouldn't think you would need any help confirming this.

Very odd we are getting clues. My guess is that she needs to verify the teams on her list even want her before she names them. That would be embarrassing if she named a school that didn’t want her.

Or, like true professional Free Agency.

No, but I’ve seen many posters refer to “we”. I think you just took my post personally so you’re choosing to single me out, which is fine. I don’t really post for your approval.

Yes, the safe bets are Louisville and Miss. State as the two contenders who were Final Four participants.

I wasn’t referring to you. Thank you for posting the article. We were referring to the parents giving clues as to who the other schools may be. Why not name them??

 

[bbballfan23]

Good thing.

Virtual makeup hug??

 

[SCspur]

Can't confirm that. I only have inside info on SC's standing with her (she's very interested) but UCONN may very well be one of her candidates.

Well as much as I would like to spill the beans... there is really nothing to spill. From my understanding Anriel really wants to win a championship or at least compete for one. She also wants to go to a school that receives lots of media coverage (i.e. Big Monday Games, etc) and wants to start her broadcasting journalism career. Her parents are tight lipped about personal things, so there's really not much to say other then Anriel being close friends with Te'a Cooper and Alexis Jennings. She and Jennings played AAU together so she's familiar with a lot of the South Carolina players.

So ESPN which is less than 50 miles from the UCONN main campus should work right?

I'd certainly think South Carolina makes sense since she had such serious prior interest.............I doubt UConn is a serious consideration just because it's a big big move for just one year.........

How does one run track and play wbb at the same time? Those schedules overlap pretty heavily.

I guess she didn’t do it long.

Oppenheimer from Syracuse

Transferring to Manhattan as a project player?

The NCAA outdoor track season runs into June, so Howard had 3 months or so to compete in the triple jump, her one event.
