Maybe the grad transfers are????


If they've graduated, it appears they've fulfilled their "contract", so they're basically free agents.

I think I know the answer, but thought I would throw it out as a chance to see if the gurus on the platform may know. Do we know if we are actively targeting anyone in the portal? We need a good PG, someone that is considered a sharp shooter.

Crooks officially in as well. Will be interesting to see where she lands. Her defense is horrible. But she can score 20 plus in her sleep

This is a big blow to the cyclones. Now it's 10 players who plan to enter the transfer portal.

Wherever Crooks goes, she needs to commit to losing 60-70 pounds as well. It would completely unlock an entirely different level for her

Not sure why she hasn't already.

Her comment during last press conference was she was "processing" and wanted to be there for her teammates; I guess she finally realized she doesn't have any teammates left.

Deng leaving basically confirms a massive overhaul of roster building format.

Buggs, Fontleroy, Deng, Big Johnson, JVG, Pemberton………decent pile of NIL money freed up.
Expecting a significant buy at PG, two to three solid buys at Combo, SG and Wing, two value buys at 4.

Heavy emphasis on creators and shooters. Program doesn't have unlimited funds and needs to spend money in the places most likely to deliver high value.

The money dump on Buggs, Fontleroy, Deng & Pemberton (who were somewhat duplicative in size and skill) while not spending at PG can't be repeated.

Literally Nicki Collen said in post game interview from last game the following needs: playmaking guards, swing players at 3, and a couple of bigs.

There is filling the positions and there is where the money is allocated/spent.

Counting numbers at positions is easy. Deciding where to spend the money is the key decision.

I am sorry to see Yuting go. Best of luck to her. I do think her lack of defensive skills and hesitancy to go to the basket and take contact limited her playing here.

Are there any really good point guards in portal now other than Jada Williams ?

I agree - the key will be getting a few top tier players - especially PG - makes everything / everyone else better with a good PG. Once you determine what you want your identity to be with the top tier types you can recruti, then you value shop everything else around that as supporting cast. TCU does a great job of playing a 2 person game a lot with Center/Forward and PG and spreading 3 others around the floor as shooters. Everything keys off those 2 positions / players. BU needs to determine that and get players in that style. But everyone needs a good PG (QB) so that is why they are premium - will be interesting to see what BU puts together over the next couple of weeks.

It depends on the offensive scheme.

for example:
UCLA and UConn run Action to Action O and thus are happy with larger PGs who can shoot.
UT and SC run dribble drive focused O and therefore need smaller quicker PGs.

Count me among the crowd wanting CNC to jump forward to A2A O.
But whatever she runs, recruit to that system…..don't repeat this year of running a system without the key component.

Who do you like for those 2 roles currently in portal or are we waiting for that player to show?

We need a very good PG to pair with Taliah. We have been limited there since Sarah got hurt although Jada performed well, esp her Jr year.

My best guess…..and it is a guess based on current portal crowd and last year's portal entry announcements…..is that eight of the top ten Portal PGs have yet to announce.

Equally important, the 2026 market price for top PGs has yet to be set.
That item will determine if we are fighting for number 2, number 5, number 8, or peeing our pants.

Would be a good pick up. I hope a sign of things to come.

Only reason why I mentioned Divine is because we apparently recruited her out of high school.

Interesting to track these previous contacts as they enter portal, Scotty B. Another connection that might be interesting is who all Coach Harris recruited at Auburn who ended up somewhere else. Since she is supposed to be a great recruiter, those past connections with her at Auburn might bear fruit for us, hopefully.
