It’s rumored from pretty accurate sources but still rumor

I’ve seen no rumor on the others
Don't get to caught up in the names I used. I just used them cause they were coached by our current Assistants and are in the portal. It was just an example of how players coming in make it tough on players already here when it comes to playing time. She will play about 12 players double digit minutes and so if we have a full 15 player roster three will not play much at all.

At Marshall it was 28, 26, 25, 24.21, 14, 18, 18. 18. 12, 12, 12 and since there only 200 minutes of playing time at five positions some played more in some games and less in others.
 
They don’t have to sit out multiple time transfers are free game bc of court… and their coach was fired so that a different waiver

I don’t like jumping into speculative conversations with no backing… but ive heard rumbling around team culture and think a few won’t be able to handle Kim. There were clear problems with culture under previous

I too have a different list of players who maybe aren’t fits but won’t post bc it’s pointless
I theorized siting out because of the fact that they have 1 year of basketball eligibility left, but will likely need two years to receive their degree from whatever school they transfer to. Most schools require that you complete x number of credits (usually equivalent to 2 years) in order to receive a diploma. So they could either play right away but have to pay out of pocket for their 2nd year, or redshirt one year and play the next in order to get their tuition 100% paid for. It would be fiscally irresponsible to transfer as a rising senior otherwise.

That all depends. Tennessee class credits will usually transfer to any other school. So, unless she has to switch majors, there is probably not going to be extra course work required. Senior year is where programs tend load up their capstone courses, which tend to be more customized versus often more standardized prerequisites, so she is actually transferring at the right time from a curriculum standpoint.

Still think Karo should really consider going the really good mid-major route at a school like MTSU, FGCU, or Belmont. She would do really well in any of their systems.

Especially MTSU, she would complement Boldyreva really nicely. With Karo at the 4 and Boldyreva at the 5 they could have one of the best post duos in the nation. A really nice inside out combo with Striplin’s passing ability and satisfactory outside shot.

Would be really careful trying to go to another P5 for her. She’s really similar to Madison Bartley who transferred from Belmont to Baylor and became a complete non-factor, even in the less tough Big 12. Bartley did end up having a lower back injury and missed the last third of the season but she went from 25 minutes, 14 points and 5 rebs at Belmont to 8 minutes, 2 points and 1 reb at Baylor. Did not end up being a good decision for her to try to move up.

It's not a matter of will credits transfer or not. Most schools have a requirement that you receive a certain number of credits from their institution in order to give you a degree from their school, and it's typically 2 years worth. That's why for the average non-student athlete, you don't have them transferring after their junior year and graduating within a year. Most schools won't hand you a diploma for completing the majority of your credits at a different school.
 
Right now I'm thinking Spearman, Latham, Nye, Rogers, McQueen, and KIng might join the roster so where does that leave some of the current players. I'd say Tess could look for a big cut in minutes. Puckett might see some minutes cut, but still play a decent amount at the three. Jill and Spearman split to some extent at the five and same for King and Latham at the four. That leaves Cooper, Wells, McQueen, and Boyd to compete for point guard and backup minutes at the two. I can see Rogers holding down the three along with Puckett. We might see Cooper there as well, but she is a slasher and better suited to play one and two.

This is as athletic as we've been in a while this team should defend really well and have no problem scoring both from the perimeter and inside. I don't see a role for Strickland if we get all those six transfers.
Cooper is the most athletic player on the roster even if all of those others are coming from the portal. She will not be much at three point shooting but her defense, rebounding and rim running will be unmatched by any of those other players, and she is an elite slasher. She will be one of the players that gets the most minutes each game.

Need her to break down the first line of dense, get to the SEC logo and distribute.

Again it varies, NYU requires 60 credits which would take about 2 years. Other schools set the bar at 24 or 30 which can be done in a year. When a school accepts transfer credits, they are saying your course work is equivalent to what you would have taken here. The real log jam is whether a school places limits on the number of credits you can transfer. Most do in the case of junior and community college or tech institute credits. More that a few will accept all credits transferred from a 4 year University but some, particularly private schools, will cap even those credits.

Yes, it varies. Which is why I said "most", not "all".

Students transfer for a variety of reasons, including cost, family obligations, wanting to be closer to home, a change in academic program or a desire to find a better fit. Others want to further their education after attending community college.
But it's not the right choice for every student. Experts strongly advise students not to transfer from another four-year university during their junior or senior year, for instance, as they can lose credits or run out of of available financial aid.

"Most institutions only accept 60 credits," White says. "And you'll be putting yourself in the hole per se and not be able to finish in that four- to five-year time span. You basically start back at your sophomore year."



Transferring in your senior year is highly uncommon and often not advisable because you may lose credits in the transfer, potentially prolonging your education. Many colleges also have residency requirements, meaning you must complete a certain number of credits at the institution to be awarded a degree from them. However, if a transfer is necessary for compelling reasons, start by contacting the admissions office at the institution you're considering to understand their policies on senior transfers. Then reach out to your current school's registrar to see what credits may transfer. Complete any required applications as soon as possible since deadlines are often early in the academic year. Evaluate the costs, both financial and academic, before making a final decision.

You definitely can not say who the most athletic player on the roster will be this season if these changes are made. Kaniya Boyd and Talaysia Cooper are similar in athleticism. Cooper is an outstanding athlete and will be one of the top guards in the SEC before her career is over. The forwards from Miami and Syracuse are very athletic overall with polished basketball skills. For example, South Carolina only has one post player more athletic than Latham and Spearman. We saw what TK, Puckett, and to a lesser degree Karo were able to do against SC bigs. Puckett outplayed Kitts badly in Knoxville. TK had some moments against Kamilla. These two players would run up and down the court getting their shot off at will against that frontcourt with Spear and Nye freeing up space due to their three point shooting. That’s of course if these players sign with UT. I have a feeling UT is recruiting about 8-10 players. DW has put together an elite coaching staff!

I have seen that article and it is a little confused. The 60 credit limit usually applies to two year institutions. If you are coming from a 4 year institution, a lot more of your coursework will transfer. From another source on this topic

Many colleges have a limit on the number of credits that you can transfer from another college (usually about two academic years’ worth). Generally, 60 credits from a community or two-year college or 60-90 credits from a combination of two- and four-year institutions may be applied toward the degree. After transferring, students are usually required to complete at least the final 30-60 credits at their new institution to earn a degree.

Often, the 30 is the relevant number so long as one stays in the same major.

Here is the transfer policy for U of Wisconsin:

Baccalaureate InstitutionsThere is no credit limit on transferable credits from a four-year college.

U of Minnesota is the same. I am guessing that other Big 10 schools have similar policies on transfer credits.

PS, even if Karo would need two years to finish her degree, the school she goes to can probably hire her as a student assistant or some such role to fund her 5th year.

Did Karo graduate already? Unless you walk at UT I don’t think you get to be in the LVFL club. Have to sign the pole
She’s graduating next month, which is always impressive to me with their schedule and has maintained a 3.8 gpa. I’m going to miss her so much and root for her wherever she goes
 
It's gonna take me a while to get over Karo leaving. She's definitely one of those "if I'd had a daughter I'd have wanted her to be like Karoline" kinda kids. It's brutal out there!

As for Sara, I'm lighting candles later to the basketball gods that she'll just break up with that guy and focus on basketball. lol
 
As I said, the fanatics on VN/Twitter can take any common event and make it dramatic. Reasonable people stay out of student athletes personal lives. We do not need to know about who a player is dating and if they will eventually transfer as a result due to their relationship.

Some of you all do too much.

Let these people make their decision and move on. You can support them without going to the extreme. We all will continue to support them.
