2024 Transfer Portal

Do coaches Burdette and Rizor not recruit?

Sure they are involved, but the big two will be Lazo and Tubner. Right now Lazo is looking like the main man.

I wonder who this is.

My money is on Talia Von Oelhoffen.

I bet that is who it is forgot about her. Seems logical and the other target still looking at USC and SC.

Do coaches Burdette and Rizor not recruit?

I have seen Coach Burdette in the recruiting videos.
We need to get away from the idea that every person on a coaching staff has to be out in the public or social media. It is good that there is a balance. Most of all the players follow both Coach Burdette and Coach Rizor on social media which says a lot to me. The players are already forming relationships with them.
Both Coach Tubner and Coach Lazo are more active on social media. The GA Coach Watkins has a pretty solid social media presence as well. I absolutely love that kind of balance. It’s more genuine.

 

[dazzleme]

I don’t know what they do, they have no social media presence.

Burdette recently updated her X handle. @CoachJennaUT

Certainly was multiple recruits. But this staff has kept it in-house and prevented the leak sources from getting insider information.

This staff knows how to get the job done. That is why certain Twitter sports writers and local journalists are not even quote tweeting that Jillian Hollingshead dunk. They aren’t promoting UT or the players. They have for years used their positions to promote their titles and self-interests only if it is convenient to them.

Can you imagine if a SC, Texas, or LSU player dunked a ball as cleanly and fluidly as Jillian did? I saw the SC player dunk video and this one by Jillian is ELITE!

 

[Dak1219]

No she wasn’t. And don’t go posting one of those Twitter fan lists or ESPN list by Crème as if it is proof. Every single college sports analyst and commentator leading into the WBB season had HVL as the top transfer. You know this but come on this forum with a few others to play politics and stir up controversy with posters that do not agree with you.

Quick question. I see you joined this group under this Handle "House/Rocky Top" on March 22 of this year. Did you used to post under the handle "WinnersCircle"? You seem to write an awful lot like that poster who either vanished or was banished. Not quite sure what happened, but the similarities in how your posts are written and delivered are striking.

I’m going to agree with you here on something. The latest ESPN portal player rankings (released yesterday) are pretty horrific. They list the top 25 and then about another 25 in the also considered category, which includes many players like K Striplin and Teonni Key for example, but no mention whatsoever of either Latham or Spearman which is beyond reality.

More than 1,300 women's college basketball players entered the transfer portal. Who are the top players looking for a new school next season?

And this person came from nowhere or was under another username last year.

I have No idea who the skim Milkey person is, they obviously are able to get info on most of WBB. That leads me to believe it has to be an insider of some sorts, but not from any one school, more like an agent type with involvement on several players and able to speak with many different staffs. This isn‘t some keyboard warrior, it’s someone with a job in the ind

It’s nowhere near those numbers DP. Probably over the past ten seasons it is one of the better numbers I would imagine, but all time it would fall far short.

[Dak1219]

I don't have that number, although I would imagine probably in the low teens. I think the first Dawn was able to get there was
Aleighsa Welch and that was when her program really began to turn around because I think that was quickly followed by Tiffany Mitchell who wasn't really known out of high school but could just flat out play and then she just started getting flooded with All Americans. I think Welch graduated in 14 or 15 so probably anywhere from 10 - 15 or somewhere in that range. I will look it up though.

Yeah, the link I posted above says that SC has had 12 first round picks, but the overall number of players drafted would be 20 or less based upon that article.

Heres another decent article on that. It does say she currently has 9 on WNBA rosters South Carolina's WNBA sorority: With group chats and rivalries, Dawn Staley's players are dominating the league

That’s the right place for her. She is from LA and her new team should be a FF contender with good health to all. She made the right choice imo. I’m also glad the rumors of her to SC are now dead, as stupid as that sounds, but it wasn’t the right fit and would have messed with the SC players that have been biding their time and paying dues.

This is like his 5th or 6th handle. He was also TheMIssissippiVol and a few others that keep getting banned for being an abrasive and argumentative p*ick.

Jocelyn Penn in the early 2000s was a top 10 pick. Not sure how long she stayed in the league. It think she was the leading scorer in the NCAA that year. Didn't last i the WNBA because she was pretty much a 5 feet in kind of player and useless beyond layups. Cristina Corian (sp?) was a PG around the same time who was the NCAA season assists leader. I think she may have been drafted, but didn't make a roster.

We all came to the same conclusion within a week or two of the new handle, if you think about it actually, it’s rather amusing. You gotta admire the persistence at some level but mostly the thought that he/she believes it isn’t evident is the best. I put it in the category of color, as it certainly adds some of that. Missed his calling in life, should have been a political spinner, he has some skills there. And every so often….some actual decent input.

 

[House|RockyTop]

that plus the skim Milkey account.

Personally I think we are doing great in the portal. Excited about next year, even though obviously there are a lot of unknowns

I am definitely excited about next season, as you said there are some things happening right now that will make this an exciting team with the portal and returning class.

Wait when folks see that UT has two players that can dunk in Jillian Hollingshead and Lazaria Spearman!

Alyssa Latham can probably throw it down as well!

I have been meaning to ask that question since the beginning of April when I began seeing the exaggerated and over-the-top-over-emphasized non-stop B.S., but let it go. Thanks for confirming what I thought.

 

[House|RockyTop]

That's nice, she throwed it down.

Facts. Made it look easy.
