| Just noticed that Eva Hodgson has entered the portal. She averaged 20+ ppg as a sophomore at William & Mary in 2020 before opting out this season due to COVID. She'll have 2 years of eligibility and would be a quality pickup for a lot of P5 schools. |
I believe I mentioned Eva Hodgson awhile back. She's a terrific player who lost her season this year. She about killed JMU a couple times.
And JMU's Rayne Tucker (6'2 F/C) has indeed entered the transfer portal. Good luck to her. Some coach will really be getting a gem. She can block, rebound, and score.

Great get for Carolyn Kieger. She's going to build a program there.
Amanda Butler's job got harder as Shania Meertens, Nique Cherry and Tyler Bennett have entered the portal. That puts Clemson at 6 players transferring out of the program.
Illinois is losing 3, including 2 starters, as J-Naya Ephraim, Aaliyah McQueen and Kennedi Myles are leavin the program.

Did you count freshman Claire Neff as a transfer out of Clemson? I know she never played but she left in November of 2020 after deciding it was definitely not the program for her after all. ( Since she hadn’t played a game, the NCAA granted her a waiver and she was able to join JMU’s team in the second semester and play starting in February.)

| Daddy Joens was kicked out of the CyHawk match up in Iowa City this year before the game even started because he was complaining and Not complying with Covid protocols.

| Kendall Bostic, 6 foot two FR, is transferring from Michigan State. She played pretty well against Iowa during the Big Ten tournament but in general I think she just got buried on the bench behind some of the sophomores and transfers that Merchant brought in. I don’t know if this means that Alisa Smith, Who transferred in from Penn State is going to exercise her extra year of eligibility per Covid protocols and stay with the Spartans for 21-22.

She can follow Sissoko out to Minnesota if she’d like.

UGHHHHHHH! I think this might be the beginning of a mass exodus from Syracuse. I'm waiting for Priscilla Williams to announce her departure as well. OF course, this is all speculation on my part, buttttttt.
Man, Q really dropped the ball on Engstler, IMO. She is the best player on that team and has been since she arrived. Last year and this year he should've done everything to make her the first option, whether to score or pass. She is absolutely awesome from the high post. She can shoot, drive, and pass from there. Syracuse has relied on ball dominant guards for too long. I like Tiana and Lewis, but unfortunately, they didn't set up the offense, they WERE the offense. DAMN!! She is absolutely my favorite non-UCONN player. However, I think it was the right decision. She can play in the W and he just wasn't getting her ready for that. I hope she stays wherever she goes for two years. IMO, she could be a lottery pick in 2023.
Syracuse had FF talent this year, but unfortunately, they didn't get coached properly.

| What year is Engstler? Is she one of those who has completed college in three years and thus technically a grad transfer even if she has a couple of years remaining?

On the same day Purdue announces their coaching plan, Karissa McLaughlin announces she is transferring. She was injured most of this season, but was First Team All-Conference last year. She made more 3s than anyone else in program history (including the likes of Steph White and Katie Douglas).
Some program is going to get a good player.

Emily Engstler, Faith Blackstone enter transfer portal; other Syracuse players could follow

Syracuse junior Emily Engstler has entered the transfer portal, according to Tondelaya George, the mother of Orange freshman Faith Blackstone.
Engstler’s decision to explore a transfer was not expected.

A third starter in Jaenae Terry is leaving Illinois. No sense staying on a ship that's already been sunk.
Texas Tech's had a mass defection as well. Not looking like an easy rebuild for Krista Gerlich.

Are you referring to something besides record because I think Illinois was a bad team back when those recruits committed?

Oh, no. I think maybe the proper wording would have been "staying on a sunken ship." No disrespect for to Nancy Fahey, she's done what she could.
I would love for Illinois to be better. Chicagoland is a hugely untapped market for WBB. All respect to DePaul but they're not a Power 5 team.
But why is Illinois / Urbana-Champaign so hard to build a program in?

I have to wonder if this is completely the making of their parent(s). There's just something
