Transfer Portal 22-23

No idea if the portal rankings are "way off" or not. But the rankings of a lot of high school recruits in WBB, especially big's, are often bad. People seem to latch on to Lauren Betts (don't mean to pick on her) designation by ESPN as the #1 ranked recruit in 2022 like these rankings are omnipotent. UNC, UCLA, Duke, ND, Iowa etc. fans in a lather over her next destination. Did people actually watch her at Stanford? You can't teach 6-7 but she was rather slow afoot before she got bigger. The extra weight didn't help.

At this point based on what's been done so far she probably is about where she should be in these subjective rankings. Seen too many Lauren Coxes, Sedona Prices, Hannah Guesters etc. not to become cynical. The Kitley at Va. Tech and Cunnane at NC State types seem to turn out better. The women for Iowa and Indiana respectively, who don't miss chippies and few had heard of before they got to college, often turn out better.

UConns Amari Deberry is another product of the big girl hype machine since Cameron Brink and Angel Reese. No fault of the players. They don't rank themselves.

One of these is not like the others….

Cox was absolutely outstanding in college. I think she struggles to stay healthy given her diabetes and all. She got hit by COVID pretty hard coming out of Baylor while trying to transition to the wnba but I wish her all the best. I enjoyed her in college

She’s quicker than Key and at Stanford she didn’t get to play much, just from watching her I could see the tools she has, and I’ll take her to start at Center
 
Looks like all or most of the top players that are going to transfer are in there so time for us to close the deal on a couple more of them. Hopefully this week.

That's just what Bueckers is waiting for us to do. Complete our roster before she announces, just to rub our noses in it.

Arizona is building the wrong direction. Bunch of P5 quality players transferring out and a bunch of mid-major players transferring in.

I’m getting impatient, but as long as the players I like are still in the board, I still have faith. Oh and those players are Jefferson/Donarski/Padilla/ and Betts.
