I was thinking the same thing!timing makes me assume she's headed to UConn....right after Edwards leaves and coincidentally there is a scholie....
There are only 10 scholarship players on the roster so Geno had schollies available even before Sadie left. Even if Briana and Tierney were given schollies, I honestly don't know if that's the case, he'd still have 3 available. So, no, the availability of scholarships wasn't a factor.timing makes me assume she's headed to UConn....right after Edwards leaves and coincidentally there is a scholie....

Hard to know what a player on one team will do in a different system with different teammates. Or on the same team with different teammates (see Sims with/with out Griner at Baylor.) She is a freshman on a team with little in the way of guards.The UConn staff gets reports on available players. I have to believe they know that Calhoun is a low-percentage shooter who really likes to shoot. It's not a good match
could she be eligible mid-semester next year ?
If she finds a Juco, couldn't she play right away? If so, she could transfer up after May, and sit out only part of the season when she transfers.
Flynn is a puke . The trouble with everyone being a reporter in the twitter etc era is that innuendo and slander by innuendo is so easy with no journalistic standards. So Mike, put up or shut up. Ranks right there with CViv's what Geno said "no human being should say to another human being." What did he say Viv; of course she was not in a position to hear what was said and RU AD later apologized. I would not give his rumor mongering any heed.
Coach Stringer gets mentioned in a thread about a Duke transfer. Is Mr. Flynn still a puke if his tweets pan out? All indications suggest that he has tremendous knowledge and insights regarding the women's game, is well respected and does not have a reputation for posting comments that he cannot back up.
He can go off a little especially with players he has been involved with using a 'bully pulpit' kind of approach when he may only have the players perspective. Not saying he is wrong, and I do think with the NCAA stacked against the players it is not a bad thing to have a player advocate, but I do take some of his stuff with a grain of salt.Coach Stringer gets mentioned in a thread about a Duke transfer.

Orangutan: "a tweet that wasn't written for the general public doesn't make sense to me." Don't get this. You stick it on the internet and better know you might as well have taken an ad in the NYT. Look, I'm not making war with Flynn and was a tad harsh, just that it is unfair all around to act like you have the scoop and then just drop a suggestive hint. Duke and its players who left have pretty much stayed tight lipped and I would expect nothing different in this case. Maybe Flynn was just trying to give his player some cover, but who saw her needing it?
I think "no one" is an exaggeration. I'm sure there are players who enjoy Geno's practices (Morgan Tuck and Kelly Faris come to mind as two likely possibilities), just as there are recruits who enjoy Marine basic training and law students who enjoy the first year at Harvard Law School. Many people enjoy Outward Bound experiences.
If you can feel yourself developing capabilities that you barely knew you had, and the results are apparent in games, you will have a sense of enjoyment to go along with the exhaustion.
It is the players who thought that they could coast along on their physical talent that have a rude awakening. Another group that may have difficulty are players who are discovering for the first time that there are other players on their team who are better than they are at what they thought they were good at. Saniya may belong to the latter category.
I think that is just serrendipity. Two unrelated events.timing makes me assume she's headed to UConn....right after Edwards leaves and coincidentally there is a scholie....
There are now tweets saying Sierra is trying not to have to sit out a year. Don't know what's going on or her reasons for this position if acurate
There is certainly a procedure to petition the NCAA and I think if it were something exception like a 'safety' issue and if Duke fully supported it, then she might have a chance of playing next fall.Not possible. But then again, with the NCAA you never know!
As Tony has mentioned, and several of us are aware of, there is a rather "interesting" situation going on there at this time and IF it goes public, it will because Sierra's family wants that. AND if that happens, you bet we will know the whole story!There are now tweets saying Sierra is trying not to have to sit out a year. Don't know what's going on or her reasons for this position if acurate Also a Tweet saying it was a safety issue that led to Sierra leaving Duke
Like most accusations, we'll probably never find out the real reasons.
Not possible.
Not true. I can think of at least 2 cases where players were allowed to transfer and not sit out a year.
(1) Penn St FB players after the Sandusky stuff became public.
(2) Baylor MCBB players after their coach helped cover up the circumstances behind one player's murder.
There would have to be severe extenuating circumstances for the NCAA to rule in her favor.
