Destiny Salary to WKU. That should be a good fit for her.
Hayes sister #4 going there also !
Oh my. Home for the Frequently Troubled and Transfered. The portal now feels alot like the leftovers, both players and teams. I guess it's better than not finding a home at all.

Speaking of, I really wish the best for BK and I'll always root for Kyra Elzy. But what a comedown life at KY is likely to be for a former LV. KY, FLA, Auburn, Arkansas and Missouri really got left behind and are likely to sink even further to the SEC cellar as the best teams got better. I read that Arkansas is the only team in the SEC who got zilch fm the portal. Sometimes it seems like Mike Neighbors doesn't even care anymore and I wonder if his seat is hot. If Ark even cares about WBB.

Only they know what they are doing, but I think they are thinking a rosters of 15 is to big. I think they want to stick around 12, but we'll see how it ends up. Right now were at twelve don't see that changing much.
I disagree -- I say fill up the bench as far as you can because injuries happen all the time --- LVs have been bitten by a short bench and tired players at the end of the game in the past

I agree...[as of late] we lose key players to injuries every year...🤔
it truly is a double edge sword
too many with no injuries and it's exodus at the end of the year (unless you finish top 10)
too few with injuries and you have limited and weaker deep bench

This is where coaching comes in at its peak
Pat Summitt lost very few to early departure during her run
The "evil genius" kept nearly all of his connies intact even though he most often went 7-9 deep
Of course, the ease of which it is now to enter the portal wasn't prevalent

I recall our fanbase last year having a meltdown that we had too many players. I personally like the number we have and everyone on the roster has something to contribute.

You couldn't immediately go and played another school back in that time. If the rules back then were the same as they are today Gino and Pat would have lost their share of players just like coaches are losing them now.

The meltdown was over KJH use of the overpacked roster. Said a million times, you can't give KJH too many toys. Every team is eventually only going to use 7 or 8 players and KJH road to getting to that number is tortuous.

Unless a transfer appears in the portal who's a real impact player on the level of a Rickea, I say shut it down at 12.

Yeah he’s a sleezy character. Wouldn’t put it past him at all.
If she’s goes there then the coach got the results he wanted no matter if it’s sleazy or not the mission was accomplished and THEE fans will be happy I went around the world to say this if we need to be somewhat sleazy to get a top recruit like that then do it all our coach would be doing is playing the game everyone is playing
