Transfer Thread Pt 2.....

[Txhoopsalot]

This Longhorn fan says I wish the best for Rellah and I am sorry things did not work out at Texas. Rellah has very special talent and can be a joy to watch. I would be very sorry to see her fizzle out.

 

[SCGamecock]

The Longhorn board is saying academics. This will be a good opportunity for her to get it together, figure out if she’s really ready for D1, and if she is, transfer back up in time for the following year..

 

[JordyG]

I'm the guy who predicted before she walked on the Texas campus that she would transfer after one year. For me, an easy call.

Same. Hope she doesn’t fizzle out....she’s one of the more unique players I’ve seen and I think with the right attitude and coaching she could become a really special player. Hope we see her at the D1 level again.

Rellah Boothe and Geno.......................perfect together......................NOT!!!!

While I hope that Boothe gets her act together, the JC/CC route has always been viewed as something of a dead end for men's players. That's not to say that some men's players don't make it back to D1 programs from JC's, it's just that it's highly unusual. The problem is that if the player did not have the discipline to buckle down academically with a big time coaching and support staff at a D1 program, it's far less likely that they will do so at a JC where resources are limited and it's basically all on the player.

Sheryl Swoopes, Rita Williams, Shannon Bobbitt (TN), and a bunch of LaTech players have gone the JC route.

Not saying it's impossible, just unlikely, and none of the players you list were recent JC transfers.

I may be wrong, however I think I remember her being the best player at the McD AA game. As was Shakayla? Thomas in the 2014 game in my opinion. Tea Cooper also looked good in the 2015 game as did Taylor Murray. What’s happened to Taylor Murray this year?

Taylor Emery of Virginia Tech, all-ACC this year.

And, I th0ught y0u were talking about being in D1, dropping down to JC for a year, and making it back to D1 successfully.

Two recent JC transfers that were huge for their programs and WNBA 1st rounders were Kentucky post #3 pick in 2017 WNBA draft by Dallas Wings (someone help with her name). She saved KY coach the two years she was there.
Also, Fl State post 2016 #12 pick in 1st round (need help with the name)

No extra credit until you provide their names.

Didnt know Emery was JC. She is a player. Saw her in NIT champ game vs Indiana. Real deal.

OK, so Gus really has it right. Can anyone name a player that started out at a D1, transferred out to a JC and then made it back to a D1?

Taylor Emery started out at Tulane.. Went to a Junior college in Florida .. Moved back up to VPI

 

[Shmermerer]

I just hope she doesn't become a Krystal Forthan. What an immense talent who transferred everywhere.

Would be a good pick up for any school

 

[Vowelguy]

Tough life. That's rough.

Though, I will say ... if you want to claim that you're "smart enough," you might want to make sure you don't have a bunch of grammatical and spelling errors.

ACC, SEC ... Hmm, there is a B10 school right near home ...

Who could really use a guard? What's TX situation post-McCarty?

There aren't a lot of schools who would turn down a senior guard who averaged 18 points in the SEC.

Texas has 2-3 ships open for next season. Pretty young guards overall, except for Sutton (jr.) and Higgs (sr.).
