Transfer Portal 22-23

With Hunter and Ware A&M is at fourteen scholarships so whoever that last one is finishes their roster unless someone transfers. They can really put a good team out of the floor next year. Have at least three excellent three point shooters and an inside game that will be at least in the top five in the SEC. I'll have to see everyones final roster, but right now they have moved way up from where they were.
 


Here is one of them. This this puts them at 13 or 14 players on the roster. They can sign one or two more and if Coulibaly is one of them they only have one left.
 
We'll probably add somebody Coach Kellie said we needed more rebounding and I don't think Ace and Destinee fit that description so we'll have to wait it out and see what happens. The portal will be closed in nine days but anyone in there will still have weeks to sign with somebody.

I still think we need more scoring.
 
Was supposed to be visiting Oklahoma State today. If we can't get her I hope someone in the Big 12 does we don't need another transfer to overcome.

Oklahoma State would be interesting. She would be a huge pickup for them.

If she’s looking there it would seem she may want to go somewhere she can be the star.

Really liked OSU this season and their new coach. She’s a firecracker and really got them playing a lot better/harder in a short period of time.

If you think that no problem from me. I think the scoring is fine. The reason is Wells will take up Horston's scoring or most of it. I think with more minutes Jill and others score a lot more. Ace can easily match what Walker brought in scoring. We could get a scorer and rebounder in the same player. I think we run into a huge problem with the best teams stomping us on the offensive boards and shooting until they score. We had that problem with SC, and a few other last season.

The portal does NOT close. The immediate eligibility ends on the 11th. Unless a waiver is submitted and approved or it's a grad transfer

What I meant as why would you want to transfer when you have to sit out a year. So to me to play next season it is closed unless you are a Grad Transfer.

I see the point you’re making, it pretty much puts at what we had last year, I’m saying in order to make a final four we need more scoring because we didn’t have enough to get to an elite 8 last season.
 
I think playing Ustby at the 4 was one of the reasons UNC was so up and down last year. They got outsized in some games. I think she’s better at the 3 starting with Donarski and Kelly. Start Key and Gakdeng. Bring McPherson, Paris, Nivar, Toomey, and Poole/Zelaya off the bench.
That definitely one of the reason why UNC struggled and they play junk defenses to cover it up. Ustby will be starting at the 4 and Donarski at the 3 because you can the coach out of the mid major but you can't take the mid major out of the coach.

Toomey has recovered from her acl injury and was back to playing basketball since early January. She was on a minutes restriction until the semifinals of state playoffs and she played the extended minutes.

To make the final four were going to have to do something dynamic in the next few weeks. Coulibaly would help us and so would a player like Sears. I don't know if there is anyone out there to get us into final four range at this point. Were trying not to lose ground in the SEC. I think Ole Miss has passed us and teams like A&M and Alabama have closed the gap as well. Key could really be awesome next season or she could not even be able to play. She makes our defense a lot better for sure if she is well. Really don't need to gamble with what she will be able to do just get another post player as she hasn't ever been more than a 25 minute a game player anyway. Jill is going to be a lot better no doubt as will Puckett and Striplin. I don't know if Puckett or Striplin will ever be able to guard anybody well enough that is where you have concern with them. They seem to be good off the bench players or backups neither is going to be superstar starters.

Just me if I were running the team I would be working for Sears, a player like Barnum that is in the portal from Arkansas, and Coulibaly if she hasn't signed anywhere. I would be more than delighted with Endiya Rogers who I thought was the best guard at Oregon overall and that includes Pao Pao.
