The facts are thought leaving is a definite possibility, staying also is an option and that's a fact.
I pay attention to both cases and seem to notice how you post more often during bad situations compared to the good ones.
Actually this fan is a bit confused and would love to find out the reason Diamond entered the portal.
I'm with you on the issue of her reason for entering the portal. I'm not necessarily confused, but am curious to know the reason for her decision. I just think that this situation(portal entry of major players) may be about to explode on the women's side because the stage has been set for that. Unfortunately, I believe we fans are going to have to get accustomed to star players moving around more often w/o a hint. I hope I'm wrong.
The fact that she included #nobully in her tweet definitely concerned me. It is most likely a major factor in her wanting to explore other options. I do not believe either the coaches or the graduating seniors are the likely culprits. It would be much more likely to be other underclassmen. No matter who it is (and it could be more than one person) the coaches should be on top of it and making sure it stops.
People get ready! As I said in the above quote, things are about to get crazy. Programs are gonna need to hire a GM, a Jerry West. lol Our staff is going to work harder than any other time of year from right now to mid-summer. The portal is blowing up and we need to be a major player in this market to bring in whatever players fill our needs. This year's transfers provide a huge pool of players in addition to HS graduating class of recruits. We can easily be stronger than this year if you can convince 1 or two studs to come here with our promising young class and top-notch facilities, and HOF coach. This is an exciting time. and who knows, maybe Diamond stays.
By the way, a ranking of players in the portal - I'm not vouching for its accuracy, but it was professional - ranked Diamond #2 behind one of the Syracuse players. There are a number of good players - but not stars - available. Some are probably already decided, of course, and a few Grad Transfers are probably going to go where they can continue their studies as they wish, since they are not "W" level talents.
McCray is apparently hated by the fan base, but she's only been there 1 year. Took one year to ruin what Schaefer built is the sentiment.
I would think that this is just the beginning of transfer frenzy. I'm sure there will be some stars on the move soon. Some of the "good" players/ grad transfers, we know can be just what we need. Coaches can't tamper pre-portal entry, but I would think players are lobbying other players to link up. It's already over 1000 in the portal as of last night.
Another good post crazee.
Syracuse is one big question mark, wonder what the heck is going on over there with all those payers leaving? I thought Hillsman was a well liked coach by his players, and he did really well after he took over for the last coach.
He's always been the coach you just love to hate, thinking back to when we used to do battle against them in the Big East, because of his courtside manner and they oftentimes gave us fits.
