Saylor Poffenbarger in Transfer Portal [merged thread]

[rollskies]

Wow. Didn’t see this one coming mid-season. I will be rooting for her going forward and I wish her the best.

 

[huskeynut]

WOW

Oregon perhaps. BF on football team there.

I wish her the best but don't find this surprising. She'd likely get almost no playing time.

Doesn't this count as transfer speculation?

 

[pvdoggy]

Sad to see. So what happens when someone is in the transfer portal? Are they still part of the team until they actually transfer?

 

[jchusky]

not gonna lie this really saddens me, esp after her story of why she wears #4. Wish her the best wherever she goes, I know she will make an impact right away.

She couldn't catch a break health wise and that is most brutal for a first year player. I think she has the savy and talent to be a significant player and I'll be rooting for her.

I don’t think it’s speculation to say she’s actually in the transfer portal. It would be speculation if I said “I think this player is going to end up leaving after the year”

The post is by a sports writer not a casual fan. There’s a media source so, no, we aren’t speculating

My initial thought was Oregon as well. Maybe somewhere in the DMV area closer to home. I also saw she followed the Arkansas WBB account recently, but I always take social media interaction with a huge grain of salt.

Curious to see where she ends up because she will have her fair share of options. Like I said, I am rooting for her success.

That seems awful fast. I wonder if this is true (can't know for sure myself). Makes me wonder if she somehow thinks something in the program is causing her injuries.

When she joined the team in January, the consensus opinion was "What could possibly go wrong?"

Well, she could go 1 for 15, and sustain a long term injury, practicing with a college team in mid season form. And Saylor had not played competitive ball for a long time. (not sure how long, but her H.S. season was canceled.)

Could see it coming when she took down UConn from her social media a while back.

 

[Heytherego]

Honestly not surprised she’s looking to transfer, but I am surprised at how early this comes.

 

[Boreifs]

She looked quite sad during the warmups yesterday. I wish her well, but classes of more than three are hard to sustain for four years.

that's a little far fetched. Maybe though the grind style she thinks is too much which there is nothing wrong with that.

Does this mean she may well be gone after the first semester?
Best wishes to her....hope she has a lot of good choices.

 

[Blue Ghost]

Wow very surprised by this. Especially because the season is juts getting started. Hopefully she can make a full recovery from her injuries and can really show her talent. Wish her nothing but the best in her future.

 

[EricLA]

Best wishes Saylor. Husky fans wish you the best wherever you end up!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Saylor needs to get healthy, but she's a very good and versatile player.

Being in the portal means she's looking around. Oregon seems like a real possibility.

what on earth are you talking about?

 

[Vowelguy]

Does this mean she may well be gone after the first semester?.

yes, I would be surprised if she wasnt

 

[Blakeon18]

I phrased that poorly...I meant 'will she be eligible to play immediately in the second semester if she goes elsewhere?"

 

[ME Husky Fan]

Not a surprise at all. If you saw what was in front of her, especially where she ‘ranked’ against the incoming class and who was coming in next year it wasn’t hard to assess what little playing time she’d get. Best of luck to her wherever she lands, so long as it isn’t Norte Dame or Tennessee
