Alyza Winston, 5’7 JR Guard for Michigan State, is in the portal. 2nd leading scorer on the team at 12.2 ppg. |
I was really surprised by this.

He usually just puts transfers out on that list. On the transfer out notice, he puts the new school if it has been announced. But this is the time when players are going to transfer midyear, because the semester has just ended. They can try to get a waiver, or they can start at their new school now and be ready to play next year. |
I think he's trying out a new format this year. Conveniently, there's a player transferring from Miami to Mercer, which currently puts her two entries next to each other for an easy comparison. https://wbbblog.com/womens-basketball-transfers-d-i-2021-22/3/ at the moment.
(I mean, I'm a spreadsheeter at heart so I would simply have made it a table with the player's name, her old school, her new destination/post-basketball destiny, maybe put a separate column for division, and made them all sortable, but that's just me. I love and appreciate what Raoul does.)

That’s good to know, because I would struggle looking through trying to find that information about transfers in before. I agree with you, I am a spreadsheet person as well.

Lola Bunny's blog reports that UConn's offense and defense surreptitiously transferred to Vanderbilt along with Shea Ralph. So far, only the defense has matriculated. |

Myers is currently playing in the Princeton/Seton Hall game. Is it possible she's finishing this season with Princeton, getting her bachelor's in the spring, then hoping to play as a grad transfer next year at a new school? It could be she announced it now just to get her name out there earlier than the rest of the crowd. (PG4ever, is that what you were speculating earlier?)

This seems like the most reasonable explaination. Jalyn Bush anounced she was transferrring to California from Harvard last season before the Ivy season was cancelled, but she was still with the team. I didn't realize post-grads aren't eligible...does that mean that everyone who is not a 5th year senior or a true freshman will be forced to transfer to fulfill thier eligibility? Because if so, that's at least the league's entire Top 10 in scoring. That's a lot of self-imposed loss of talent.

From what I understand, being in the transfer portal doesn't automatically mean you are finished with your currently school, it just allows you to talk to other schools. In most cases when someone enters the portal they are done with their current school and there has been a parting of ways, but it seems like in this case and has been with a few other grad transfers I believe, they are entering to open up their options and seeing what's available with their blessing of their current coach who is allowing them to do both.

No. I was just assuming she'd be a grad transfer because she's leaving Princeton and it's mid-year. If I'm leaving Princeton mid-year, it's because I'm taking that degree with me. Seems strange to me that she'd announce this early just to get her name out there for next year, but you might be right.

The One-Time Transfer doesn't apply to mid-season transfers (right? RIGHT?!?!?), so there would be no reason to leave Princeton mid-year unless she just doesn't want to play anywhere for the rest of the season and have a fresh start at a new school next year? If I'm wrong about that than, well, shit, there's really no regulation on this is there?

Completely understand why she would do this because she gets no playing time, but what a shame from a fan point of view.
UConn has now lost a top 25 soph (McLean) and a top 25 frosh (Saylor Poffenbarger) primarily, one can assume, because they never got any playing time from Geno. Yet, both players may be needed the next two seasons after UConn loses several top starters/rotation players to graduation and if (unfortunately) the four currently injured starters/rotation players don't recover to pre-injury form. |

Forget about future seasons, she's needed now considering she is currently about 8th on the depth chart among uninjured players. I know Geno uses a tight rotation but he's running out of spare bodies in case, god forbid, someone else goes down.

Rumor has it she had a hard time remembering plays which kept her from seeing the court….Sounds possibly true bc she had the talent above most on the current UCONN squad . I kept waiting for her to be the next swin cash then boom she’s benched forever.

That seems like it would be a bit of a problem, yes.

Well then find a teacher who works with people with learning disabilities or a psychologist, or someone else who can work with her on memorization or visualization techniques or whatever it takes.

Wonder if Vandy is one of McLean's possible destinations, whether there would be mutual interest.
