Does she knock Landrum (or possibly Chou) out of the starting 5?

Even before the possible addition of Jackson, the Baylor message board has had some posts regarding one or two possible outgoing transfers. Stronger rumblings the last couple of days when rumors of Jackson transferring to Baylor surfaced. Most feel it will be one or two back court players moving on.

KM will play who ever wins the job! She never guarantees a player a starting role.

Ursin (#64 ESPN, nr PN) & Oliver (nr ESPN & PN) both played ~10 mins AND would seem like contenders.
Then again, players like Landrum, Chou, or Richards (#7 PN in 2017) might be worried about minutes.

PG: Morris (So, #5/2017) & Scott-Grayson (Fr, #5/2018)
2G: Chloe (Sr) & Landrum (Jr) & Chou (Jr)
F: Cox (Jr), Richards (So, 18mpg), Decosta (Fr, #2/2018), Smith (Fr, #3/2018)
C: Brown (Sr)

Soph: Oliver, Ursin
Frosh: Egbo (#27), Bickle (#85)

By the way, Baylor will have SIX players who were in the top 5 in HS. 7 in the top 10, 11 in the top 30

I'm assuming your "Webb" is supposed to be Chloe Jackson??

Chloe Webb was an actress I think and got that name stuck in my head.

Trinity Oliver had an ACL injury early in the season, and was unable to play again. Her cousin, 2019 Jordyn Oliver is a verbal commitment to Baylor. So, I am assuming Trinity won't be a candidate for a transfer. Could be wrong, though.

Cara Ursin, even with a Baylor roster of like 8 healthy players (and then Wallace's late season injury), rarely saw the floor except for mop-up duty.

 

[DallasBUFan]

Chloe fills the void of experience for the bears. Richards isn't worried about minutes, due to her defensive abilities and Mulkey being a big defensive coach. Think of the transfer as a trade off +1 and -1.

[Vowelguy]

Vols definitely needed some size. Though it's not like a decent player on a bad team is gonna be a savior.

 

[bballnut90]

Never hurts to add a frontcourt player with size, but I’m not sure she makes an impact at Tennessee. 6.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 36.3% FG, and 33% from deep for a team that was 10-20 and 3-14 in conference play.

Tennessee definitely has depth in the post next year, the question is will any of their posts produce consistently and can they compete against good bigs.
-Amira Collins, 6-3 Fr
-KK, 6-4 So
-Kamera Harris, 6-3 Jr
-Louise Brown, 6-3 Sr
-Cheridene Green, 6-3 Sr

Well, I dont know that you can even count Harris, who seems little better than a walk-on. And the other 4 would normally fill 3 spots on the floor for the Vols, so not _that_ much depth. Tho I assume they'll go smaller next year.

It will be interesting to see if KK, Harris, Brown and Green can make any kind of jump. But.... HW is the coach

I’d look for small ball. Lots of guards and wings on the roster...look for Davis to be the 4. Not sure what offense Holly will come up with now that they’ll have to deviate from swinging the ball around the perimeter and hope for an opening into Russell. Maybe we’ll see a pick or two next year?? I’m probably getting ahead of myself.

 

[Plebe]

Wow, figures that Tennessee would swoop in and pick up the best of the WSU transfers. Gotta give Holly & staff credit, they're opportunistic.

Don't you have to know how to teach a pick before you can actually perform it in a game?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Huh. That's a head scratcher to me. Can't see Brown getting much PT at Tennessee. Again...what is the draw in Knoxville? I just don't see it.

Maybe Brown likes Country Music. It isnt Nashville bit its not far away.

Yeah, closer to the capitol of country music. But it really doesn't get any more actually being out in the country than Pullman.

Can that type of offense generate enough RBs for the LVs?

180 miles is not close. East to west, TN is not a small state.

Louisville adds Pitt transfer:

Louisville adds Pitt transfer:

Wow. Good pickup.

 

[Dillon77]

Wow. Good pickup.

Interesting. Three thoughts:
- The ACC makes it very difficult for undergrad transfers by charging one year of eligibility in addition to the sitting out one year. Obviously, can't do the latter for a grad transfer, so it's a whole different scenario.
- Diop is a small forward who hit boards hard. If Coach W signed her, gut says that nothing ever came of a Louisville-Ms. Howard pairing, which seemed so logical at the onset.
- She's not Hines-Allen, but this is a good get.

Big 12 does the same for undergrad intra-conference transfers. I think every major conference does the same except for the SEC.

She's only 5'10 ??? I thought she was around 6'1 ...... she definitely plays much bigger than her height.

Taken straight from Pitt's website.
Yacine Diop - 2017-18 Women's Basketball Roster - University of Pittsburgh

Just like Ms. Howard of Texas A&M, she plays tall. And/or jumps right and tight.

She's a lesser version of Nneka, in that regard.

Question is will McGraw remember her name
