Players Entering Transfer Portal, As of March 2024

[Hawk]

Not so fast.

As @Vowelguy said, the do not contact tag can simply mean that a player has certain schools in mind and doesn't want to be inundated with recruiting calls from hundreds of schools she has no interest in. She's saying "I'll call you."

UConn will surely take her call.

Well granted that Caroline just followed her as well. I’m sure they have already given her a call. That’s more than half of the team and their coach in less than an hour

 

[triaddukefan]

looks like beers is going to UConn. The players all just followed her at once even their new recruits who aren’t even on campus yet and one of their assistant coaches just followed her. She has a do not contact tag as well

Let's hope not. For once I'd like one of these star transfers go to one of the smaller, less fortunate schools like

 

[Dillon77]

Posters on the UConn dedicated forum are saying current and incoming UConn players have started following Beers on social media. Could be a coincidence, could be the answer.

Or they're running their own marketing campaign....

 

[triaddukefan]

That would be huge for UConn.

There would be riots in the streets of Greensboro if that happens.

Well at least an uprising in the hallway

Taking a page from Ohio State’s book. Nothing like a hard press!

 

[Vowelguy]

There are about 4500-5000 scholarship D1 WCBB players.
Maybe 500-750 finished their eligibility.
So about 3750-4500 returning.

More than 1000 are in the transfer portal.

Someone had that Pitt player as the top person on the board

Tracking who the players are following on insta seems creepy to me.

Wait a minute - is that Princeton? Didn't know you were a fan!

You sure you wanna go there? You might wanna reflect on your intense involvement in all of this. So maybe pull back on throwing shade on your fellow UConn fans. Go Huskies!

And marketing campaigns by other schools better ramp up.

I think it's fine--the last several years it has become a regular indicator of where a player's considering going and is public information. Players are aware of this too, so if they wanted to be more stealth about it, they could.

Part of me feels very sad about that and part says - great that these kids can play where they want. Bottom line, it tells me that D1 WBB players are, in general, more interested in where they play than where they get their education. Naive of me to have thought otherwise.

…but having a forum talking about them is perfectly acceptable? It’s called Social Media for a reason…it’s ok for you not to use or like it but it is also ok for others to use it.

Thanks for doing it. It's great to continually see the list and updates. I do think Liza Karlen and Mackenzie Hare belong on the list (unless it's confirmed that they are definitely going to VTech). There some ppl I just like but I get why they aren't on the list. One is Kailyn Gilbert, as she was only a sophomore but was leading AZ in scoring. But it does sound like she was dismissed from the team which isn't great. I like Elle Evans as a prospect (6'3 guard, a shooter with 48 43 shooting splits) but I get she didn't play in a power 5. Also, Temira Poindexter (Tulsa) averaged 20 last year. Also I'm not sure if Nani Falatea is coming back or if she gets her junior year back in terms of eligibility but she seems like an interesting prospect.

I didn’t take his comment seriously at all.

The point is to keep the focus on being fans of UConn and the conversation surrounding it. Doesn't matter who it was aimed at, it's unnecessary. Go Huskies!

 

[YoDore]

Sounds like Sam Purcell is going after Van Lith. Could also explain freshman guard Mjracle Shepard hitting the portal after having a good year for the Bulldogs.

Removing all doubt.

Isn't the question who Hailey Van Lith is targeting? I'd imagine dozens of schools are targeting her right now...
