Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2023-24

Then explain the following. It says they can transfer anytime to anywhere, but if they want to play immediately, they have to do it during the transfer windows.

"Similar to the current bylaws, athletes would not be able to transfer mid-year and play for a new school in the same athletic season.

This means when the college football portal window closes on April 30, it will be the last time grad transfers can enter before next December. The same goes for college basketball players when their portal window shuts on May 1.

Changes have been made to grad transfer requirements and have been immediately installed.

“Student-athletes who plan to enroll as graduate students at their next school can enter the portal at any time during the academic year but must enter the portal prior to the conclusion of their respective sports’ final transfer windows,” the NCAA wrote in a press release last week."

Also if she's available immediately via grad tx, why does she become eligible in Dec? What a damn confusing mess.

Answered my own question. The next transfer window is Dec. 9th - 28th.

It's just odd she'll be happy with only playing half her final year of eligibility.

So odd! Makes it sound like a rash decision.

So there is a "window" after all? So it's not anytime and play immediately? So effing confusing.

Graduate Transfers In The Portal​

One of the exceptions to the “redshirt” rule is the graduate transfer rule. The graduate transfer rule allows basketball players to transfer institutions without a redshirt year as long as they completed a bachelor’s degree before leaving their institution and have eligibility remaining on their five-year clock.

This rule was adopted so a player was not penalized for wanting to pursue their graduate degree elsewhere than their undergraduate degree.




This is what I got unless they have changed it again recently. If they have to get in a portal guess she would have to wait until next year when it opens.

Count me out. This seems to involve higher math.

Thanks for the link!
First thing that jumps out is the editors of this graphic haven’t been keeping up. Somebody needs to let them in on the changes within the conferences. That’s pretty sad right there…

Didn't Gonzaga lose most of their team? And I would bet good money UT is better than Vandy or SDakota St. Nebraska to me losing their star won't be top 25. Really solid 8 teams to top the poll. Just hope UT makes the tourney and shows some elite flashes. UT may not be dominant, but UT is athletic and will at least bomb a lot from 3.

You gonna post this in all the threads? You nailed it in the 2025 Recruiting thread. I sense a preoccupation to “influence”.

Of course bringing Matharu on board would be totally up to the staff, but we are well along the path to building our team at this point.

Watching the South Carolina vs Memphis exhibition.. both teams look pretty small. South Carolina doesn’t have much of any size in the guard and wing positions. Before someone starts posting sizes I’m going off the eye test from the tv screen not listed heights on the screen. The backup posts Dauda and Edwards have decent height but are lean in stature.

I expected to see Hagemann for Memphis but I see she's not expected to make her debut until...the Tennessee game: DeeDee Hagemann, Memphis women's basketball star transfer, out until December. Here's why

Dear lord, SC is one of the biggest teams in the country. Edwards is not a post, and Dauda is a 4 btw.

And Edwards with a double-double...in the first half alone, in only 11 minutes.

 

[KnoxLikeUs]

Dear lord, SC is one of the biggest teams in the country. Edwards is not a post, and Dauda is a 4 btw.

Who did they start? The tallest player in SC starting lineup was 6’3. All the guards and wing players like I said don’t have much size. Decent height at best.
I clearly stated guards and wings are pretty small on the screen which is obvious. And Edwards played the 4 spot. Call it post or not she’s going to have to adjust against SEC caliber teams. SEC teams are familiar with Dauda from her time at Arkansas. SC is playing her at the 5 spot.
Memphis tallest post player was listed at 6’3 and they have one other player in the starting lineup listed over 6 feet. SC post should’ve had those rebounds going against a very undersized team. SC tallest post players won’t be a factor against SEC caliber opponents. Again, overall as a team they are pretty small. That was evident last season when Cardoso was not on the court.

SC has two 6’5”s, two 6’4”s, two 6’3”s and a 6’2”……

I knew someone would come here posting heights from the stat book.. looking at the players on the court it is clear that SC does not have an imposing true post presence in size. Those heights don’t look accurate. Memphis is very undersized. Right now, I see the perimeter being where this year’s SC group will have to try to set themselves apart in the SEC.

She will have her work cut out then. Tennessee guards are Cooper (former McD AA), Whitehorn (former McD AA), Boyd ( 4-️CG), Spear (former 2-time All-ACC), and Spencer (former SEC Freshman of the Year) among others. Watching this game tonight Memphis needs to establish some balance and depth in their frontcourt to compete. Memphis can’t match Tennessee’s overall team depth.

Sure thing, if you say so.

This is where I believe Coach Caldwell can get her team on track early in the season playing the entire roster while getting the starters and top reserves quality minutes in exhibition games. SC is late in the 4th quarter (4 mins remaining in the game) and still has three starters on the court. That is where in the past I believe Tennessee struggled not getting players in game mode before trying to play a tough non-conference schedule.

SC played 12 players and the reserves played more minutes than the starters, but ok. It was a scrimmage btw, and that was the intent going in.

Well, fortunately they don’t have a very tough non conf schedule this season. If I’m not mistaken, they face exactly one ranked opponent, #19 FSU in their non conf lineup prior to conference games (I realize UConn game is slated later). But even with that the non conf slate includes only 3 power 4 teams. I get it.

Aliya Boston and Aja Wilson were 6'5"....the only post player that we ever had that was taller was Kamilla Cardoso at 6'7". Now we have Walker at 6'5" and Adhel Tac at 6'6". This team is a big as any team before it. Geez...grasping for straws? Yes, you are.
