Transfer portal in WBB

[OldHare]

These coaches talk about how there are more women basketball players in the portal than scholarships available as motives for movement are examined. It should be noted that each coach has used the portal to shore up their own programs.

We should probably add that the "shoring up" you mentioned was due largely to what were current players transferring out.

Who knows how indicative this level of movement is of future transfer activity, but it's going to be jarring for many players who may believe they have DI prospects now when they actually don't

I think the extra COVID years that players have gotten has exasperated the situation. You have 5 and in some cases 6 years of recruiting classes competing for playing time in programs. Players at the end of the bench that used to have to wait a year to get some minutes now may be waiting 2 or 3 years to see minutes. And many don't want to wait that long.

More transfers out than scholarships available......what? Seems risky to me.

Kyah Watson leaves USD for W VA!

Kyah Watson leaves USD for W VA!

Word on the USD board is Krull is leaning towards WVA or Nebraska. She was a very solid player, but I don't think she lived up to the hype she received for being a top 70 recruit in her class. That possibly would have changed this season with an expanded role on the team however..
