Natalie Chou was starting this year, but didn't regain her starting position after coming back from injury. Juicy Landrum was the player that got her starts and is in the same class as Chou. Since Chou was on the 2014 USA Basketball U17 team, and ranked #8 overall by Hoopgurlz and #2 at her position, she probably doesn't want to come off the bench for her final 2 years. But she is listed as a 6'1" guard, and the starting small forward graduated, so conceivably she could be the starting small forward. |
Chou never really came back from injury. She was never full strength or even close to it. Until the injury she was the clear starter. Kim never seemed to have the same confidence in Landrum that she had in Chou. I doubt Chou would lose her starting spot to Landrum, though Jackson might be a very different question.
If a Baylor player leaves, I think it's more likely to be Ursin |
Yea what happened with Ursin this past season?? She was suppose to be best thing to come out of Louisiana 😉 The two games I saw her play in HS she didnt impressed me at all. Tulane could use her!! |
Well, she was a freshman on a crowded team. What most people seemed to think (I just didn't get to watch enough games this year) was that Ursin didn't play defense well enough to suit Mulkey.

Louisville's biggest loss (and basically only significant loss) was at forward, with Hines-Allen graduation. Adding Diop to the returning starters closes the gap between Louisville and Notre Dame for ACC supremacy. ND is still #1 in the ACC (preseason), but Louisville has definitely closed the margin with Diop's signing.

Per Raoul_000's tweet, KeAsja Peace will not be returning to Michigan. This makes sense as she's received little playing time. She was not at U-M's banquet, so I'm guessing this has been pending for a bit.

According to Williams’ father, she has taken visits to UConn & Texas and has talked to Mississippi State, South Carolina, Louisville, UCLA & Oregon

She visited UConn along with A&M forward Anriel Howard who soon is expected to announce where she’s transferring, possibly on her 21st birthday which is Sunday.

Williams' family, residents of Clovis, N.M., have made an effort to attend a majority of A&M’s home games during Williams' career. However, proximity to home isn't necessarily a top priority for her final season, Regan Williams said. |

The writings were on the wall. She was a nice big body for the team though.

That one makes me sad. She was an integral part of the team. Too bad. And I'm surprised she didn't transfer to one of the California teams.

Promises never kept and too much attention on one player. OR was a good TEAM and she was a very big part due to passing and shot from the high post.

Graves seems to be taking the Walz and Mulkey approach to recruiting. Not a fan.

Over-recruiting and just dealing with (and perhaps sometimes encouraging) the transfers.

He pretty much started from ground zero. Do you expect him to recruit one or two players and then, if nobody comes, he's stuck with nothing? He can now afford to act like a 'top' program and pick and choose a little more. Two years ago, for example, I'm pretty sure he didn't expect all 4 bigs to say 'yes' to offers. I haven't heard anything about encouraging transfers.
I think two of those transfers were actually pretty good cogs in the machine. And especially the loss of McGwire is not good for the program as she is the one who could bang with the truly big posts out there in ncaa bball land. On the other hand, I can understand her wanting to go somewhere she will get much more playing time and probably be the whole focus. McGwires are not known for sitting on the sidelines.

I didn't mean to imply that Graves was following the whole playbook, but rather I trying to define what I thought joetro meant by the Walz/Mulkey approach to recruiting.

I'm not sure what "over-recruiting" means, especially to different people, but what's the evidence that Mulkey and Walz over-recruit and encourage transfers? |

I’m not sure what coach from a prominent team doesn’t over-recruit. They all have a lot riding on keeping their teams on top.
Frese promised Carlie Wagner she would start as a freshman. There was little to no way that was going to happen. I suspect these kind of promises are made and broken all the time by all the top coaches.

That’s what I meant. Over-offering and then survival of fittest

kg is very cutthroat...he's had shades of it for yrs but true colors shining thru....
my hope?...recruits start asking themselves do they want to be the next bench warmer while the coaches get the new flavor of the month?....
and I hope Oregon state kicks their arse next year.....

I've thought that for years about UConn...but they keep on coming. I guess they like getting the championship even if it is sitting on their butts. Actually I think it is that they all think they are good enough and will be the starter. It happens with all the top programs, so am guessing Graves is happy to be put in that category. What seems to be changing is that more of the kids are transferring out when they realize they will never be starters.
