Our old friend Diamond Johnson enters the transfer portal. I guess NC State wasn't her cup of tea either.

Closer to home in Philly. Temple, PSU, Rutgers, lolI believe I read she would have to get a waiver since she already transferred once and is not a graduate transfer.
Luckily. She lives in the United States where she can pick and choose freely free.Our old friend Diamond Johnson enters the transfer portal. I guess NC State wasn't her cup of tea either.

I would love for coach to bring her backWow!! Surprising, but not surprising. She had some difficulty adjusting her game to the style of play that Wes employs there. They have the other guards there, Rivers and James, Zoe Brooks on the way. The spotlight will definitely be shared.
Diamond's style actually is a perfect fit for the offensive style CoachQuese used this past season. Uptempo,... get a shot up early in the clock.... Spread set, create off dribble penetration.
Oh, BTW, I can't see her leaving the big stage to go to a Temple or Penn State. She's going to another elite P5 if she doesn't decide to come play for CoachQuese like she should so we can be elite again, this year.
Ditto. Terrific player.I would love for coach to bring her back
Explains why should couldn't play for CVS. Coach Washington seems much easier to play for and her style matches Diamond's preferred way to play. Hope she comes back home!Rumors elsewhere indicate what someone said above, she is hard to keep happy. Actually, according to the NC State fan, she "doesn't like to be coached". Who knows? Not I.
Yes, the NCAA has announced much stricter 2nd transfer rules. I would be surprised if she doesn't have to sit out.
Reflecting back to Diamonds initial days with us, she commented on one of the promotional videos that CVS was big on "details". I said it then, that her body language in the video was saying that she wasn't really feeling it. I was hoping it wouldn't lead to transfer. Eventually, it probably was a little bit of that but moreso feeling like she couldn't get that spotlight she sought at RU (as we've stated more than a few times on this board) .Explains why should couldn't play for CVS.

Are you serious? Where did you see this? I had to google it. If she had to settle for this school something is very fishy. Bold move? I say desperate move as in her rep at RU, and NC State was that she was quite a problem. I'm really shocked.BIG, BIG move! Diamond decides to join Norfolk State University! 😮
Bold move. I like her style.
Joins an excellent program with a quality Head Coach. Wishing her all the best at her new home.
I highly doubt it was a desperation move. There are plenty of coaches that would love to bring her into their program. Basketball-wise, I just think she hadn't chosen the right school(coach) based on the style of play that she wants to play. There are teams that play like she wants to,.....RU(CVS) and NC St(Wes M) just did not happen to be in that group. This move is one that, IMO, can be very good for her.Bold move?
