Transfers (merged threads)

[j66kicker]

Indeed.. but I'm taking it even farther back... like as in the Famed '95 National Championship team that went undefeated (1st of the many we now have)... A young lady by the name of Jamelle Elliott was our PF back then.. She was 6'... Didn't have the long arms Collier has either...

Jamelle played with 6’4” Lobo and 6’7” Wolters though

Jamelle played with 6’4” Lobo and 6’7” Wolters though

Jamelle more than held here own playing with Wolters and Lobo. Remember Kara was the "Black Hole." When the ball went to her the next stop was the basketball, not another teammate. Nevertheless Jamelle managed to score 1,387 points (Kara 2,141, Lobo 2,133). Pretty good job playing with those two "gunners." Jamelle actually out rebounded Kara, 1,054 to 927. That is 6'7" versus, what, 5'10" or 5'11"? As Geno likes to say; rebounding is all about effort. How many UCONN players had 1,000 points and a 1,000 rebounds? I believe the number is 8. There is a good chance she helped Kara and Lobo as much as they helped her.

And this topic has to do with transfers how?
Because this thread is so long, I always select to look at the last post, hoping to see the latest scoop on who is transferring but alas...

McHale retired in 93 and kara started at U conn in September 93 so I’m pretty sure McHale was the black hole first

I believe once they are in the portal, coaches on other teams are allowed to contact them. The players themselves are also allowed to contact other schools. I believe it was someone connected with Azura who first contacted Uconn for example.

 

[Gus Mahler]

The UCONN official website also has Lou Samuelson at 6'3". I see 2" difference between Phee and Lou. So Lou is 6'4". I guess this is a Bria Hartley redux. I'll go with reality versus UCONN PR.

I align with your perspective. This past year UConn had three players (I think) who were listed as 6'2" but were really 6'1": Batouly, Kyla, and Napheesa. A person has only to look at the team picture and compare eyes and forehead to the mat in the background.

 

[Gus Mahler]

They mentioned during the draft her wingspan is 6’6” or something close to that

When she was a freshman, I remember thinking she had telescopic arms. They were always just long enough to grab the ball.

 

[triaddukefan]

Good list...Geno and Chris should be discussing "mutual interest" with Ms. Dixon, in my very humble opinion.

My McGraw's Bench colleague, MPG, suggested a bit of an under-the-radar pick:
- Lydia Rivers, a 6'2" forward from Radford, who averaged 12.2 points and 10.3 rebounds this year. She scored 11 points and had 8 rebounds in an opening-round loss to Maryland in this year's NCAAs. She's a redshirt junior who is graduating so she'd be eligible immediately. I saw she's from North Carolina. Maybe NC State, since forward DD Rogers is graduating from the Wolfpack?

I'd forgotten about her. Seen her a few times watching Big South action @Plebe You mention NC State........ but how about nearby VPI? They could use some size... and her father played on the basketball and football team for the Gobblers back in the day.

Yeah! All of the other threads stay on topic.

It's a solid thought, given the connections. Plus, Kenny Brooks loses the super Swede, Regan Magarity. Pretty sure he has some frosh height coming in, but a vet could help bridge the gap.

Oh, that justifies it.
Thanks for the explanation for this phenomenon and for participating in the swerve.

 

[BroadwayVa]

ya never know what UConn's staff could do with her if she was willing to get in great shape...I suspect she's certainly better then just about any junior college transfer although she'd have to sit out a year most likely...

Now if we are talking minimal effort to get her in game shape and the work is worth the effort, ok. But way too often in the last many years project players remained projects. Butler appeared to be one who was worth the effort until Uconn played real Div one teams--by all visible means she should have been perfect for Uconn, she wasn't. As I say for all who don't pan out--"she was a nice kid".

Good pickup for My Aggies

 

[SECbbfan24]

that would be a great pickup for state

Good little PG, someone who fits the bill defensively too. Only hole in her game in her 3 point shooting. She averaged over 10 points a game. would be a good fit and much needed experience instead of throwing Taylor into the fire.

Figured state would try to get a grad transfer in the post though, they have a bunch of highly rated recruits coming in next year who are guards.

Taja Cole at Mississippi State.

Tonight’s REALLY BAD tornadoes would be enough to scare me away from MSST.

 

[DaBball]

Cole and Espinoza-Hunter are very good friends, so she may have just been visiting AEH or both. Was not an official for Cole.

 

[DaBball]

So, usually, you can look at recent followers and get a pretty good idea of where a player is. Cardosa’s recent followers were all Mississippi State players - pretty much confirming what I had heard that she is on a visit.

Interestingly enough, Kianna Smith and Liz Dixon (possibly Balogun as well) all gained Louisville followers and the two followed each other. Perhaps Louisville is hosting that trio?

 

[DaBball]

For some ACC friends, what are the intraconference transfer rules? Will there be exceptions due to the abuse allegations at GA Tech?

 

[HuskyNan]

I didn't see these names listed here - could have missed them so SIR -

Makaela Kestner and Janeta Rozantale Have Left the USF Women’s Basketball Program. Bulls Hosting A Couple of Visitors This Weekend

 

[DaBball]

So, it sounds as if Laska is still undecided?

 

[DEpup]

If Laksa wants to become a complete player and have a long career professionally, she will go to UConn and learn how to play defense, pass, and rebound so she has more to offer than just the 3 ball.

This is where we are.
