2025 Transfer Portal

[Vols2015]

For sure, thats why I said she may be a fit for Kellie. She was def overrated, got overpaid just to take her fm us. Didn't Kim even take a guard as part of a pkg deal for ADR? A guard who didn't last for a cup of coffee at LSU.

Didn’t Rosario play behind both Reese and Morrow at different times? I think she was injured a good part of this past season.

She has had two surgeries on her ankles. Last one was September 2024 so she was slow to start the season. Never got her footing like she did toward the end of her freshman year.

Having bad ankles at 6’6” with her frame doesn’t bode well for her career.

Nah. If Kim feels the need to play her cards close to the vest, deal with it.

Zero News and leakage is great news in my estimation.

Kim is totally entitled to her means and methods. I really admire her confidence and determination to stick to her plan (even if I don't love the plan) and to swim against current tides. She has a set of (metaphorical) cajones the size of beach balls.

Flip side of that is lack of info while all the best players go off the board is naturally going to cause worry and speculation on a fan board. And folks who want to pearl clutch and tut tut that basic tenet of fan forums can just, well, deal with it.

All of which screams Missouri

She’d probably be a good pickup for Kellie. No evidence there is any link there so far.

For her own sake the less physical ACC is probably better for her career though.

Yeah just specing on Mizz cuz Kellie came so close before. By that logic though, Miss State and Sam W would also be in play and lord knows both desperately need players. But you're right, ADR's probably looking for less physicality.

Coach Caldwell is a student of history!

1st place I saw this is when I came to Oak Ridge to visit my future wife!!!

UConn fans giving Regan Beers energy right now on Williams. Remember last season? When the whole team followed Beers and their fan base was like, “that’s it, done deal, Beers to UConn.”

Then the next day she committed to OU and they all unfollowed her and all the UConn fans started calling her a MAGA supporter.

They may very well get her, but it is far from a done deal. I would love to see her committ to Tennessee that would cause a lot of pain on that site.

I agree would fit in with that team. Kellie seems to be going for a lot of mid-major players. She did get the one Kentucky player Tyler to committ there.

Yes, Kellies targets so far put alot of doubt on rumors she's getting decent NIL money. It looks like exactly the mess of midness I was afraid it would be at Mizzu.

 

[VolBall09]

What little we seen in those few clips just makes you question why wasn't she playing more. Like to see how she plays defense because her hops on offense is definitely there. The potential is definitely there.

Just didn’t fit their system. They were either 5 out chucking threes or Lee was healthy and they were lobbing her the ball.

No shock all their forwards are in the portal. Poorly utilized.

 

[glv98]

Remind me what LSU's incoming high school class is like. Am I right that their core returnees will be Gilbert, Flau J, Williams, Wolfenbarger, Koval, and Miracle Shepherd?

Wouldn't mind seeing CKC give look. Very athletic and quick no wasted motions.

Grace Knox and ZaKiyah Johnson both look like they’ll play from day one. Knox will take Jersey’s minutes in a heartbeat if she doesn’t hit another level, much more of a Mulkey type player.

Johnson looked like the best player in the McD AA group to me. She is quick, makes excellent decisions and gets to the hoop. She’s going to be great during her career.

Divine Bourrage and Bella Hines round out their class don’t know much about either.

Thanks forgot about Grace, thought we might snag her. Dang, they look strong.

Eh...if we get her, we get her, if we don't, we don't. I think El Alfy, Brady and Patterson all come back better and stronger. That being said, you can never have too much height and in her case athleticism.

 

[VolBall09]

Vickers making a mistake Kim did not. Bringing players from Norfolk State with him. I appreciate the loyalty, but he’s gonna find that doesn’t work well.

I’ll be interested to see what he can do at Auburn. They have such poor fan support it’s hard to get anything going there.

Half the game is hoarding good bigs from other good teams. Dawn and Mulkey do it all the time. They know that’s what it takes to win a chip.

It's just sad that so many players fall into that trap, thinking they are going to get playing time, but don't. It would serve them so much better to play on a team where they are actually needed.

Yes, it’s always so frustrating from the outside looking in.

Last season it was Dauda for me. You just knew she was gonna languish on the bench at South Carolina. She could have helped us a ton and would have played a lot. She can shoot the three and Dawn was never gonna go for that.

Went from 10/6 and 28 minutes to 6 minutes 2 and 1. Sad.

Edit: another one I can think of was Azura Stevens. Geno took her and did almost nothing with her. I know she was recovering when she first got there. But she never really played. She’s such a talent and it was so irritating watching her just sit there.

Got $$ and SEC championship regular and tourney, a Final Four, and a natty game. It would be so interesting to hear a player who made that tradeoff talk about whether it was worth it.

Yeah, just depends on your motivations. You’d think a basketball player would want to play basketball though. Lotta work to sit there and watch.

Anyone hear anything about Avery Strickland? Visits?

Knock Wood the LVs continue to have a remarkable retention rate. I don't remember losing a contributing player since Evina Westbrook. Zaay doesnt count since she wasn't a voluntary transfer.

Marta and Karoline. Salary was earning minutes when she earned her exit from the team.

We lost that one whole class aside from Rennia. Meme Collins was a really nice player and would have had a great career at UT.

Marta actually has fantastic basketball skills. It’s too bad she was a bit much to deal with.
