Davenport will fit in better w a team that doesn’t run and press. Just way too slow for a team that utilizes the 55 defense and pushes the ball up the floor. Seems like a great kid, good luck to her.

Right now it stands asWhat does our roster look like for next year? We are going to be relying on freshman which rarely seems to work with CVS.

"The transfer epidemic does not begin and end with the stunning exodus at North Carolina."
“It is quite disturbing,” said Connecticut Sun coach Anne Donovan,
"Some of the numbers are staggering. There are 27 players gone from the Big 12, including six from Oklahoma State, four from Kansas State and three each from Baylor, Texas Tech and West Virginia in the last year alone. A total of 23 players in the ACC have left (24 if you count Loyd). Clemson lost its top three returning scorers to Charlotte, Chattanooga and Auburn while eight other ACC programs have lost multiple players via the transfer route.:'

Transferring in W BB is not a new phenomnom, unless you don't follow W BB. And it's getting more and more common obviously. The other article is from Aug. 2019.
The Viv haters here have their heads so far up their butts it's pathetic. She just broke the record for most 20 win seasons, and the uninformed posters think a few transfers is shocking . It's actually the opposite, none or few transfers would be shocking..
Agree 100%. Also, Viv shows a sense of loyalty to her recruits it seems. Tiya Singleton sat out last season and Viv may have felt that it was her turn to get those minutes. Especially since Maori was not clearly more productive when coming in. If she had been, she likely would have taken more of the minutes from Tiya. That kind of loyalty lets recruits know that they will not just be thrown to the curb if a super frosh comes in at their position.Transfers happen. If she wasn't willing to wait until next season which she would have likely been the starting center on a very talented team, then she must have been very unhappy.
But just to show you how transfers happen to all programs....Austin of Maryland just announced she's transferring. If I were one of our staff members I'd get on the phone right now to her.
I don't think you can predict what a 17 yr old from rural Alabama will do, let alone any adolescent on a good day.Didn't the coach see this before she recruited her?

Also, Maori often came in and was not ready, to put it nicely. She probably has more upside than Tiya, but Tiya put in her dues to deserve that development time.
Now to that Austin news! Boy would she be a welcomed addition to our squad. And just imagine if the person who worked with Jordan Wallace last summer worked with her. She could be a player of the year candidate. Also, she may be close with Elizabeth Martino. Both from Md. HS circles. Wishful thinking.
These recent transfers of "top tier" players from other programs, leaving good situations and good coaches, are more examples showing that there just doesn't have to be a problem. This will only become a bigger part of college hoops if the rule that's expected to allow them to transfer w/o sitting out a year is put into effect. Mabrey, Austin, and now Kiersten Bell of Ohio State, all are leaving very good teams that stood to be top 25 teams (Maryland top 5 potential). Auburn seems to have a problem. Eight of their players have transferred this year with no incoming recruits at this time. We don't have a problem here at RU. I've enjoyed the team's recent uptick.This top tier/player recruiting means nothing if it is A) all hype B) you can't develop it, and C) Can't keep em.
Make excuses but this is more of the same.
What a waste of time, energy, and enthusiasm.
There's a problem in River City that folks don't want to acknowldge.
Kill the posters. Cry about lack of fans supporting the program and coming to games. And don't admit this pattern just keeps repeating itself over and over.
Carry on. Glad I visited the forum tonight. As they said, get your dirt out while the virus is dominateing the negative news. (maybe we Do have a PR group after all).

Some players are not going to hesitate if they think "the grass looks greener over there". Many will look back on their decisions years later and realize they made the wrong one.
I also think the transient culture of NBA players (although their situation is different- $$$) contributes to the appeal to some kids to want to switch teams. It's the, "I'm taking my talents to South Beach" syndrome with some of these transfers.

And when all is well, the same detractors will be finding faults.I swear the entire roster could transfer and the same posters would claim “all is well” lol

You can tell that type easily:
Occasionally they will stop by this board to praise the coach and /or program when things are looking good.
But let something not go right, those same posters make sure their criticism is heard.
Nothing wrong with criticizing, but one must look at the poster criticizing and if they are the type that mainly posts when things are not looking the best or if they post often ( good or bad).
