Transfer portal, Spring 2022 (merged thread)

[Tonyc]

Sara is a guard at Minnesota averaged 14.5 pts a game and shot 42% from 3. She has played with Azzi and against Paige. Her range is deep. Funny thing my daughter bought me 23 and me a genealogy site and I googled a bunch of DNA relatives and her dad got back to me and we cant figure out how yet but we are DNA relatives. So the Scalia's are my cousins Sara in less then 48 minutes had over 40 offers including LVille AZ and Indiana. Ive watched her on the BTN network and she has range.

I read that there were 3 players that entered the portal this weekend for Minnesota that's harsh, esp on the week Whalen got inducted into the HOF.

I hope Cousin Geno takes a look.

 

[MinneHusky]

Minnesota also had a player transfer hours before a game this past season. I've seen Sara play, she's an exciting player, she can shoot.

WOW! This is a shock

 

[JellyBean]

Whoa! This isn't some delayed April Fool's Day joke is it?

But she also had South Carolina in that list: "Owusu was the No. 10 prospect in espnW’s 'HoopGurlz Terrific 25' for the Class of 2019 when she committed to Maryland. At the time, she’d considered Penn State, UConn, West Virginia and South Carolina, which won its second national championship on Sunday."

NCAAW: Top 10 juniors to watch in 2021-22

The NCAAW class of 2023 features 2021 All-Americans Aliyah Boston of South Carolina and Ashley Owusu of Maryland, as well as a number of honorable mentions.

Well, I thought Owusu with her injuries etc had significant issues with fitness. If she lands in Dawn's bootcamp, maybe she takes a large fitness jump like Boston.

 

[eebmg]

With the new incoming class, I thought MN had a good chance to move up considerably. Really tough for Whalen

She hinted at something during her pre-game press conference at the final four, but I thought she was hinting that they had players going into the portal.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

So who is left on their roster? The coach?

 

[Carnac]

Could this be dawns birdie?

Could be. Dawn is the kind of coach that would take a chance on a player like her. No risk it, no biscuit. I don't think Dawn would have to twist her arm to join her program. She would be a perfect fit if...........she can successfully go through Dawn's boot camp and emerge fit and trim as Boston did. She already has the right "aggressive and attack the rim" mindset.

 

[jchusky]

interesting that when I click the tweet below links bunch of gamecock tweets, coincidence I'm sure or...

 

[DefenseBB]

My first question is what the heck is going on with Brenda’s program? I mean Mikesell left because of Ashley, who knows the real reason Austin left but she was also a starter and significant piece. Slocum left before those 2 and now Owusu. This is not peripheral pieces looking for more playing time, this is all-conference performers leaving….

As Shakespeare so famously stated “something is rotten in the state of Denmark”….

Pretty much, yep

Okay, I didn't see Dawn's pre-game presser, but if she did hint at getting a transfer before that player's entry into the portal was announced, is that even legal? Isn't that some kind of interference with a player who technically still is part of another program?

 

[LarryLegend]

dont need any more guards

 

[TerpWomenFan]

I think someone need to move this to the general board. Unless UConn is trying to recruit her.

It's tangentially related to UCONN. Anyway many of us never read the general board so it's fun to see stuff like this. She's a big time recruit and if she goes to SC, it replaces Henderson and gives SC another clear path to the NC.

 

[uconnever]

She’s really good. I remember Paige and Azzi saying she was the best player they ever faced. I watched her at Maryland be a they said that and she is really really good, but she does need to get in good shape. Also if she is used the right way, you probably can’t stop her just like Boston.
