Transfer Portal 22-23

[Orange_Mamba]

Hot Damn!!!

 

[Ladyvolfan45]

Nawww...she's after a Natty.....I think she heads to LSU

My first thought as well. Baylor was her 2nd choice coming out of HS.

This makes more sense than Owusu to me

 

[VolBall09]

The SEC is where it’s at. So many big transfers looking into this conference.

 

[Rooster1]

I bet she goes to IU and replaces the departed Berger at PG. All their other starters return….I can’t see her at LSU.

Could see that. I’m putting my money on LSU though. Only hangup there is, to me, she isn’t a Kim type player. Kim has never been much for the mid-range. She prefers shots from 2’ and recruits players who are really good at getting them.

All the 3s in the natty was very uncharacteristic for a Mulkey team. Truly a player rising to the moment. Jasmine Carson’s first half is the thing dreams are made of. The highlight video makes me tear up. Anyone who has ever played sports could feel those moments deep in their chest.

I could definitely see that. HVL also seemed to love playing in front of her hometown fans in Seattle during the regionals. Washington is a program on the rise with Coach Tina Langley, having just made the WNIT "Fab 4" and they're bringing in the #16 recruiting class after having the #14 class last year. Not sure Washington has enough national exposure, though, or how they're doing with NIL deals.

For a moment, I am willing to allow myself to imagine a lineup of Wells, Powell, Van Lith, Jackson and Key.

A boy can dream but omg…

I thought you’re not a fan of HVL?

 

[Amb3096]

So we could bow out in the SS while he goes on to the E8? She’s seeing her market value, not sure it has to do with Waltz.

I thought HVL was already one of the more successful NIL athletes.

She is valuation is over 500k. So it’s not about the money. Really think it’s about what team gives her the best chance of winning a championship.

 

[VolBall09]

I’m not as the only option, which she was for Louisville. Too easy to guard in that setup IMO.

On a team with two other dynamic scorers and shot creators like Jackson and Wells she would be dangerous.

And, yet, do you see her anywhere? I follow WBB all over. Her profile is way down the list. The Cavinder twins get significantly more press and aren’t nearly the ballers.

 

[Deebowbear]

i thought she was little Walz. Looks like he has some work to do with that team for next season.

He will get Morrow now

 

[VolBall09]

He will get Morrow now

Doubt that

 

[FormerLadyVolFan]

He's lost 5 players to the portal so far. Something's going on with that team.

He got a good draw this year. We'll see how far he gets next year.

If we’re grading people on how to handle transfers, Mulkey and Freese got an A this season. Tennessee got a B. Louisville and Arizona got an F.

Kellie has done an excellent job building a program kids want to stay in. I’m very sad to see our two transfers out but feel retention has been one of the best things about our staff since day 1.

I guess he can use the “I need time”. He has equity in the bank that Kellie has yet to achieve. Some believed we got a good draw too with the weakest #1 seed.

That’s because the Cavinder’s are instagram vixens to keep it real with you. Doesn’t hurt that they’re pretty reminds me of the Gonzalez twins. But Haley ain’t hurting for money she’s got lucrative deals with DSG, Adidas, Valentino, BGC clothing.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

She could end up at another adidas school, Indiana.

Exactly, but that’s their brand and they are filling that space. I used them as an example because they are probably HVLs primary competitors in that sphere. You can pigeonhole them into that girl next door blonde.

Sadly NIL opened the door for that. HVL is clearly more focused on basketball and very dedicated to her craft.

 

[VolBall09]

If HVL already knew where she was going before she entered the portal, it means tampering happened. Otherwise how would she know she even had an offer? Walz should report her new school to the NCAA.

Everyone acts like these players don’t have a brain and a mind of their own.

Really think if NIL and the portal are to continue in this way they should just do away with any recruiting rules. Pay who you want what you can and let the kids decide.

I’m a big fan of deregulation in real life as well. One way to level the playing field is to remove the rules

 

[GameTime]

It is possible the athlete made first contact to gauge interest……It’s not against the rules to answer the phone.[/QUOTE]

It probably went something like this.....

 

[creekdipper]

Hot Damn!!!

If you don't believe me, just watch (come on)....

 

[creekdipper]

Oh, somewhere in this favoured land, the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Darthville--mighty Jeffrey has struck out.

Are the Cavinder twins raking in the NIL deals because they’re basketball players, though? Seems basketball is secondary (if that) to their brand and they are milking “The Hot Chick” angle for all it’s worth. Basketball is HVL’s brand, period. It helps that she’s blonde and pretty, but you don’t see her posting (as many, anyway) thirst traps all over SM like Haley and and Hanna.

She is, nobody can say what she’s making in regards to figures as those are disclosed.
