Depth for Gusters and Egbo wouldn't be bad.

Ive been hoping for good GT big to appear on the market. Have you seen her personally with your traveling? What do you think of her? A 1 yr backup big sounds great ro me if she is talented and a fot. Cant watch vids until after work.

Is there rumbling about BU being a possible destination or is this just notification of a player in the portal?

Her majors fit nicely with Two of our on campus strengths, political science and accounting.

She seems a little stiff and mechanical to me. Does appear to have a midrange and deep shot. Didn't seem too athletic to me but saw limited clips. Not convinced she would she be an upgrade over Erin although she ran the court much better. Didn't see any clips of her rebounding or D. Are we interested? Any chance any other GT bigs are thought to become available soon?

In response to two questions above:

Have only seen tape on her. Do not know if Baylor has contacted her.

Assume the move is not about playing time as she would likely start at Wazzu next year if returning. Her level of play really blossomed this year [especially in conference]. Typical European player: very skilled, average athleticism. Very good shooter, very good [and willing] passer. Far more mobile than Degrate.

She is a solid fit for what Baylor needs: 4th post with size to absorb minutes in blowouts, be available if substantial foul trouble occurs. Not a "championship game 7 player rotation" type. Solid, not spectacular. Has received very good coaching.

Good student, good citizen. Assuming the move is about school and seeing postseason. Baylor can offer both items. Understanding the need and the market, about as good a "get" as can be expected. Fills the one year need without clogging up roster spot beyond. Square peg, square hole.

Solid assessments by everyone posting on the board !! The BU fit with her major studies was especially perceptive by jumpinjoe. It is important to 5th year and GT recruits
Excellent complete breakdown by Adriacus as well.
Its really hard to get foreign athletes eligible but having been at Washington State that work has been done.

Didn't we have a player seeing lots of court time her last year of eligibility as a first year law student several years ago?

Sune.

Can't say I'd recommend starting at Baylor Law School to any grad transfers, though.

Just a little information on all grad transfers:

You can only be a grad transfer if the degree you are working towards isn't offered at your current institution. Bodes well for Baylor as seminary isn't readily offered at other schools, but it has to be something that the player is willing to take on for their year on campus.

Just something to keep in mind as grad transfers enter the portal.

Baylor actually has several unique masters programs. One that might apply in this case is the Joint MBA/JD Program.

She simply applies for/enrolls in that program, takes the MBA portion of the classroom, and decides after arrival whether to simply get the MBA or continue forward with the Joint Degree. Nothing obligates the student from changing direction after arrival.

Apparently that hasn't been a rule anymore for several years now.

Bone Squad is spot on about a international grad transfer not selecting Baylor Law School.We have a very demanding program(the Marine Corp of law schools).Coach Mulkey has an extremely demanding basketball program,perhaps the most demanding in the country.The combination would be overwhelming to most.Sune had been a Lady Bear for 3 years and was accustomed to that source of high pressure.She had graduated from Baylor in three years with a very high GPA.She had family in San Antonio and English was her first language.So it worked for Sune.But,I don't usually recommend eligible student-athletes coming to law school.Supplemental note-The NCAA will usually grant a waiver allowing the grad school or law school schedule to be adjusted somewhat.A waiver for a grad-law student makes total sense because he or she has been a high achiever and graduated on time or even early.

Not to mention that Baylor Law has an attrition rate of roughly 1/3 of its first year students.

I am curious how a waiver adjusting the schedule from Baylor Law would work, assuming they would grant one. The first year course schedule is basically set in stone - everyone takes the same classes at the same time, with no electives. I suppose a Fall quarter student could skip one of the courses, then make it up with the Spring starters, but even then, not all of the classes are interchangeable as far as when you would want to take them. It could really be a mess for the student athlete.

Bone Squad. You are correct that the first year is mapped out in advance.However we can be somewhat flexible when called for.A student-athlete would best start in the summer quarter and take a full load including Civil Procedure,Criminal Law and Property 1.Even a busy law student can find the time to engage in strength and conditioning in the summer.In the fall(when basketball practice starts)the student-athlete would finish Property law by taking Property 2.Now comes the change.The student-athlete would also take Legal research and either the first course in Torts or Contracts but not both (taking both is the standard).He would start the other 2 quarter course in the spring and take another course or 2 but less than a full load..Thus he falls behind his classmates.Back to the winter quarter(Games have started) he has a reduced load;he finishes the Torts or Contracts sequence that he started in the Fall along with taking Criminal Procedure.The bottom line is that at the end of 4 quarters he is approximately one quarter behind in credits.Graduating in 9 quarters isn't possible.The good news is that he or she can play ball(Sune got to the elite 8 her senior year-first year of law school as the starting post) the Law school load is manageable and the athletics department has paid for the first year.Supplemental note about Sune.She and her basketball teammates earned a national championship ring and 8 big 12 rings(regular seasons and tournaments).

She needs to go where she can start, star, and play. We should not burn up her year with 5 min here and there.

Who's to say that's what she wants? She needs to go where she wants to go.

Maybe she should go where she chooses.

If starting/playing is her #1 goal, she wouldn't be transferring. If she is prioritizing maximizing her academics, going to the post-season, and practicing daily against top competition, than no one should fault her for that choice.

Not everyone travels the same path and too often people fail to appreciate that being unique is a plus and not a negative.

Do we even know if Baylor is interested in this transfer or if she is interested in Baylor?

Participating from the bench your last year is never a good thing. She could go play at Rice or Vanderbilt if academics were her goal. Just hate to see wasted talent on the bench. But if she wants to come to BU, I'm all for it. But I think we are good to go as is.
