2021 Transfer Season

I mean, she was highly-ranked in her class. She may have even made a summer USA team at one point, or come close. But, doesn't seem like that translated at Baylor. Typically, the less athletic signees (like Natalie Chou) are the ones who don't fit Baylor's system. Oliver seemed to be super-athletic, but her less-heralded and less athletic cousin (Trinity) has seen much more playing time at Baylor than Jordyn.

I think you hit the nail on the head by saying KM recruited over her. Bringing in Carrington who was a McDonald's and Jordan Brand HS All-American with three years of high level playing experience at Stanford pushed her aside. I have never understood how Trinity gets more time than Jordyn, but I figured that's their business... they're not my team.
Maybe being recruited over created some resentment towards the coach and hence some mutual disdain? Then there's KM's moving Didi to PG, who got the job done but certainly wasn't natural, while true PGs are riding the bench.

I say all the time kids need to make sure they study a coach's style and tendencies, and be careful about WHO they sign with as opposed to just signing with a school for it's winning reputation. Everything/everyone ain't for everybody. I hope Jordyn finds a good fit where she can thrive and fulfill her potential, and I wouldn't mind if Texas was it -- if it were the right fit.

I was going to ask about Andrews but saw you say she was riding the pine. I guess Mulkey didn't trust any of the true PG's.

Can't figure that out myself. Andrews played some... they've also got Jaden Owens who transferred in after spending last year at UCLA. Chrislyn Carr (transfer from Tech) is sitting there too and she's experienced and GOOD! Whatever... not my circus not my clowns. Hope they ALL leave. :e-face-tears:

Yep. With the transfer portal becoming the norm I'm just hoping that Texas can keep their core/important players intact.
 
I'm sure our coaching staff has thought certain things through as it regards to any potential incoming transfers, and how they fit into the "balanced" classes, as well as numbers for the 2022 recruiting class. This is my current breakdown of our roster by classification for next season:

Juniors (3):
Ebo
Allen-Taylor
Warren

Sophomores (4):
Ortiz
Taylor
Feme
Kobe

Freshmen (8):
Holle
Chevalier
Gaston
Johnson
Coleman
Moore
Harmon
Hunter

Obviously, we don't "need" any incoming freshmen transfers to help balance the roster; but, if an elite freshman wanted to transfer to Texas, I don't think you turn them away. Perhaps MSU's Madison Hayes would fit in this category; but, I wouldn't say that she's at a need position.

Senior or grad-transfers with one season of eligibility remaining probably fit our roster best for next season, and don't impact the numbers for the 2022 recruiting class. Landing a PG to contribute immediately and help mentor our very young PGs would be invaluable.

Junior transfers do help our balance for that class; could impact the 2022 recruiting class, but you take that trade-off based on their experience and maturity. And, since some would be seniors academically, they might only stay one season anyway. Perhaps MSU's Jessika Carter falls into this category if she eventually enters the transfer portal.

An Oregon State player from Arkansas announces her intentions to enter the transfer portal. Her Dad has a degree from Texas, and the former staff did recruit her; not sure if Vic's staff recruited her at MSU as she didn't strike me as a fit for his style of play.

The OSU player I was hoping would one day transfer is 6'5 Dallas area native, Taylor Jones, was big on Texas for a while, and had MSU as a finalist.

They are about to be just as dangerous or even more so. They got Sasha and a freshman by the name of Elena Eaton that sat out this year and a incoming 6’5 wing whom truly has PG skills. If they get a transfer big look for them to do serious damage.

Yep they'll always have scorers. But when you have a bad shooting night, and you don't play defense...

When you lose two 5th year senior veteran guards like Destiny Slocum and Chelsea Dungee and replace them with a couple of "freshmen", there's typically a dropoff in the short-term.

Came across this and the number is now 10 in the portal from Syracuse.

One of the Orange not in the transfer portal is Priscilla Williams who signed with Syracuse a couple of years ago. She is a 6'2 guard out of Katy who moved to Missouri (and back a couple of times). I believe she had Miss. State as one of her finalists, and may have even taken an official visit.

The first to drop.

On LHN's Longhorn Extra This Week, Alex Loeb was listing the incoming class with 3 MDAA and 2 JUCO #1 players and Vic Schaefer remarked it's going to make this weekend's turkey hunt a lot better. He then remarked, "You never know, we could be adding one or two more pieces" to the incoming class.

I expect others to transfer out to make room for transfer-ins. C'mon Rickea, where you at?
 
Each player has to do what is best for them. I wish she had been healthy this season so we could have seen her skills and possibly helped out in the frontcourt But, if she plays the same position as DeYona Gaston, and Gaston was a late addition last April, that certainly changed the expected depth chart after Coleman signed in November 2019.

I know of 3 more that are gone as well. I won’t list the names because I don’t want to steal their social media thunder. Man, this team is going to be very different next year.

Of any who leave, I hope KA is the beneficiary of any she wants.

I'm guessing Johnson and Holle...and perhaps, Ortiz. Any others would hurt!

Agree.

Karisma's playing time dwinddled and she was a KA transfer. Precious needs a lot of work. The one I hesitate on is Shay because she dreamed of playing for Texas, it wouldn't have mattered who the coach was as her father is a former Longhorn football player and her family lives in Austin.

Shay is also one of the best athletes on the roster and isn't afraid to work as hard as anyone. I'd like to see her stick around and develop under this staff.

I took a look last night at the UTSA roster. I could have miscounted but I counted 15 players. It looks like KA will need some players to leave before she can add players.
