Her next school may not be in a Power 5 Conference.
I wish her the very best and hope things go well for her.

I agree! I love our 9 players coming back very solid group...but 9 is not enough...we have to find 2 or 3 more bodies...guard and a big....I would have to think we are working the transfer portal...anyone have a list of kids that would be options for us?setshot said:
I liked Alexis Morris's game a lot, probably more than most on this board. I knew nothing about her off-court issues until the big blowup that took her off the team. I regretted that Baylor did not work out for her in that regard, and I think that she has suffered as a result, whereas the transfer program has filled in nicely for the Lady Bears.
I think that they need to find another experienced point guard for next year's team, and if they do not succeed in that regard it will be a difficult year for them. I think that they will also need another interior player of size, one with enough skill and experience to shore up the defense in the deep paint and add to the rebounding down there. I will be surprised if Mulkey does not acquire the help that she needs as things now stand.
UT is simply adding "bridge type" players. These players aren't championship quality. They should be good enough to help the new staff make runs toward the Sweet 16 for the next 2-3 years [which could then lead to momentum in recruiting championship quality talent]. Aston left the cupboard bare. 2 high quality talents, 2 serviceable talents. The rest of the inherited roster is not P5 Conference upper tier quality. The new staff needed a short term talent infusion to bridge the gap to the roster they will be building with 2022/2023/2024 recruits.ScottS said:
Question on the players going from MSU to UT.....will these players make UT a lot better?

The biggest issue is melding the pieces together. I look at the roster and see a Ford engine, Chrysler transmission, Chevy frame, and assorted Toyota, Nissan, Yugo, and Saab parts. The UT staff will need to do some master work with the duct tape and super glue.
We may not need a "PG" per se, but we desperately need SHOOTERS!Baylorkid said:
It'll be nice to get another guard so we have 10 players but we don't really need a PG. let Sarah Andrews play point or have didi or jordyn run point until Andrews is comfortable with the PG role
This is probably exactly what she envisioned. She committed to Mike Neighbors while he was at UW, then switched to Maryland, then after transferring from Maryland she visited Mike Neighbors at Arkansas before committing to Oregon State.Dcheetah said:
Destiny Slocum to Arkansas. Not sure I understand that. Would have had a better chance at a ring staying at OSU.
Doubt this is the landing she envisioned when she entered the portal.
You are partially correct. Slocum has shown (at least for half the season ) that she can run an offense. She just doesn't want to run it like a point guard. The Oregon St coach was trying to teach her but she decided she wanted to play her way. She really didn't shoot that much. She mostly did a lot of dribbling looking for opportunities for herself. Ate up a lot of clock. I don't think Kim would have taken her and I don't even thing Slocum would have even come. She already went that route and decided she wants to play her way.BaylorBearWBBFan said:
South Carolina does have a solid point guard in Destanni Henderson. She was ranked the top-PG overall in the class of 2018, and should be primed to step into a starting spot as a junior.
I'm not very high on Slocum's ability to run an offense, OSU's offense never looked quite as good with Slocum running it as it did in 17-18 when they defeated us (they also had the terrific post player Cox and Brown could not stop), but she can score the ball, and I would love to see what Kim could do with her. Similar to Te'a in that she'll probably be looking for her shot first, and would likely lead the team in FGA next year.
Regardless, she's super talented and it would be great for Andrews to have a year behind/with Slocum.
