2024 TRANSFER TRACKER

[Volfan2012]

Getting King would be just as great as getting Whitehorn. King and Kapinus would be two players to push us to top five portal class. Getting all three pushes it to top three maybe even number one.

Looks like Donovyn Hunter to TCU team is going to have a lot of guards.

I don’t really get what he’s going for there. She’s a super nice player but they have no interior at all. Prince will almost certainly go out with some kind of injury, she’s just a Humpty Dumpty out there.

A lot of their guards are kinda slow, like Connor and Van Lith. They will do fine in the Big 12 but are gonna get their butt handed to them by more athletic teams.

Positionless basketball that doesn't need post players? I heard that was the latest thing.

Hunter was a player I would have liked us to snag.

Yeah she’s a great little PG. I think Spencer would be a better fit for what we’re trying to do. I really like Hunters game but she’s more of a setup PG.

Spencer can pass and score the ball.

I’m wondering if they all thought Kim would bring them with? She obviously knows how big this job is and that it wasn’t going to be Marshall 2.0.

Not taking the Marshall portal players plus hiring the two SEC coaches were the most important decisions CKC has made. She clearly understood the assignment. Not taking those players couldn't have been easy for her but 100% the right decision.

Really want to nail either Ruby or King next.

There are going to be times we need a set up pg. We are not going to control tempo all the time, esp against better teams. IMO this would be the next part of CKC understanding the assignment. It's great to have an over-arching philosphy but we can't be one dimensional. Prepare for all situations.

Jewel Spear didn't announce last year till early May

Jewel committed on camera during her visit.

Any PG can be a setup PG when needed. Not all PGs can be a scorer when needed.

I definitely agree we need another reliable scorer, esp fm 3. But I'm hoping it won't have to be a pg. I'd love a Raven Johnson type floor general pg who can run, do set up, and score when necessary. Wish D Wells wasn't such a question mark.

Some actually do know

So you know who knows ....okay ......then tell us who knows who knows .....maybe they can tell us .....who knows...

Timea Gardiner to UCLA, wow!

UCLA has to be the tallest team in D1 for next season:

6'4 Bessoir
6'4 Dugalic
6'4 Muse
6'4 Antsey
6'3 Gardner
6'3 Sontag
6'3 Nguemen
6'2 Dudley
6'1 Cain
6'0 Jaquez


That is 8 players 6'3 or taller.....

We may have the least tall (can't call them short). Differing philosophies. Not gonna lie, I'd love to have another young, tall true post.

I wonder if some of these ladies have committed and signed but just don’t want to announce until they are done taking exams at their current University.

Thats certainly what I would tell my daughter to do….

You're not lying. Goodness they will have an abundance of tall players.

When was the last time we didn’t have one of the taller teams?

They have a few fouls to give.....
They could wear down Zach Edey....

Well, that is likely part of the shift from the SummiTT legacy- a pivot from a bigger and relatively slower team to a smaller and relatively faster team.

But, the LVs will not be the all pygmy team: Jillian is 6'5; Spearman is 6'4; Lathman is 6'2; Pucket is 6'2.

P/C

As the portal closes here are the last top prospects available in the portal

I will also go an update the rankings that should now be finalized by most publications… it may add a few girls.

Are the (#)s some sort of ranking? If so what is the source?

To me, Barker is a clear #1 in the portal this year.

The FBI will be in contact with you bud

Yes… I’ve literally had a consensus rank on the tracker this whole time but yes I went back and added the number beside. It’s a position rank not an overall rank… actually on the 2 OG posts they are in rank order by class and position

Various sites I trust plus like 247, ESPN, Next, etc…

I’ve not seen Barker at the top of any list always somewhere in the middle low top 25. ESPN has her at 13.

Kiki Iriafen is the runaway unanimous number 1 of any respectable site.

Awesome! Thanks for your work on this. Barker being #1 is just my opinion of course.
