Transfer thread

CD = Chris Dailey

CD2 = Caroline Doty (aka Honey Badger)

Crystal Dangerfield = Crystal Dangerfield (aka Guns)

Caroline Ducharme = Caroline Ducharme

Actually, CD were the two grades the nuns would give me. Good thing I outgrew that childhood..

CD

 

[eebmg]

May be the last CD for a while. No more CD's in elite classes for 2021, 2022, 2023.

It was a good run!

 

[MilfordHusky]

and I thought CD's were outdated.

Well, let's recruit Diana Van Demeter and Maya Page, III.

By my reckoning this leaves Carrington and Mikesell as the only two big-time (all-conference level) transfers left on the board, for now.

 

[bluedevil]

There have been walk ons b4..maybe again....

 

[Conndog]

Taylor Mikesell shoots well, has a quick release- not sure we need another guard, but her shot is golden

In addition, unlike Carrington, Mikesell would not be eligible to play until the 21-22 season, when UConn will presumably have Christyn, Evina?, Anna, Aubrey, Paige, Nika, Saylor, Caroline & possibly Azzi.

I find it curious that Maryland still seems to be a top destination for highly rated kids while other top rated kids leave in droves (compared to other elite programs). Besides Tennessee, is there another upper tier school that has as many high profile transfers?

We've heard rumblings of things, I'm sure we can all speculate, but has there been a transfer from Maryland who's spoken on the record as to what is going on there? Or is it just all coincidence?

Transfers seldom, if ever, trash the school they transfer from. With that said, all of MD’s transfers are certainly not a coincidence.

At least in public. Privately there are a lot of reasons starting with a disingenuous coach.

Umm, I think it is the preponderance of evidence over the years of ALL the top players who have left-Gillespie, Brown, Staiti, Slocum to name a few off the top of my head. Most of us can't understand why starters/stars would leave a top program who stay stars at other programs with such regularity. There has to be more than meets the eye is what Oldude and I am saying.

I agree with @DefenseBB and @olddude

When you use initials in reference to someone, you can’t assume that everyone that reads your comment will know who you are referring to. Remember, we have newbies coming into the yard everyday. They don’t know CD from GA, or SR.

DefenseBB pretty much summed up my argument. Players like Owens leave programs all the time for PT. That includes UConn. What stands out specifically for me and others, is the substantial number of MD starters, like Austin, who left the program through the years to transfer to other programs. That doesn’t add up.

As for Mikesell, her transfer actually makes sense to me. With the emergence of outstanding MD freshman Owusu, Mikesell saw her PT & starting role diminishing over the course of this past season. The writing was clearly on the wall.

Thank you! It doesn't take that much more effort to use a first/last name.

In fairness, there's a banner on the wall at Gampel with the initials "CD."

 

[fightinterp]

per ESPN...."DiJonai Carrington will transfer to Baylor for her final season of eligibility."​

 

[EricLA]

I wonder, now that Carrington has decided, if there are any top level transfers left, or anyone that might be interesting.

Probably the only ones that could be considered "name" players are Alexis Morris (Rutgers), Dara Mabrey (Virginia Tech) and maybe Janai Crooms (Ohio State).

 

[EricLA]

Dara Mabrey hasn't announced for ND yet? I thought that was done weeks ago??

 

[Carnac]

Jonathan, that's true. But what does that have to do with a new first time visitor (that's never been inside Gampel) to the BY reading a comment that features initials ? Those initials on the wall in Gampel won't be of any use to them in that instance. All of the regulars in the yard know who CD is. Hey, it was just a suggestion. Do as you wish.

What about Olivia Owens? Wasn’t she ranked fairly high coming out of high school? Also, will A Morris have to sit out the entire coming season? She can’t have a lot of eligibility left.
