My guess is usually academics when you see a transfer like that. USC is a pretty tough school, may not be on track to graduate from there and needs to go somewhere that she can focus more on her studies but still be on a competitive team.

Have you considered that maybe she wanted to play for a HBCU? Some of y’all sure can speculate some stuff 🤦🏾‍♂️

There are very successful and intelligent individuals that has graduated from a HBCU. I know quite a few. Jackson State is headed in the right direction and there will be more Top tier talent headed that way. Only a matter of time.

It’s a reason players enter the portal folks. I imagine Tennessee doesn’t need every single player that is transferring. Nor is majority of these players an upgrade above the returners from our current roster.. you know the one that is 25-8 heading to the Sweet 16.
At the most, I see the staff waiting to see Rickea Jackson decision then if she comes we’re set for next season.
If not there’s good options and I say an elite SF, PF, or Post will be added.

Once again, we have a tendency to forget Marta will return. Get a grip, yo!

Of course we can't have every player that enters the portal but a player like Jenkins or Blsckwell is exactly what we need on our team. Fills an inside position with a versatile rebounder and scorer. We only need one but we need them badly for this team to progress.

To me Marta is a big question mark about how much she will help or the type of player she will be in the SEC. She averaged 4.1 ppg and 3 rebounds playing 16 minutes a game as a freshman. Hasn't played much since except for Spain and I thought she was about their fifth best player on that team. Of course she has been injured in some way from the very first day she signed with Tennessee. We have to hope she is over her foot problems and also that she has progressed a lot as a player. I wouldn't want to put a lot of hope into her being a player that could be elite in the SEC or that she will ever be well enough to play extended minutes. Foot problems are hard to recover from and ever be 100 percent. With this said I think we better use those two scholarships for the best two players we can get in the portal. You never have enough players we found that out this season.

I agree with you 100% Marta she has not played enough basketball due to her foot injury and the jury out on her. I hope she is 100% and ready to go at the start of next season.
