I have heard the same and it goes way beyond his "bad cop" to Johnnie's "good cop." He is not the good ol' boy he portrays.
WBB: Hayes sisters enter transfer portal
- Thread starter Milks26
- Start date
You read between the lines perfectly. My comment had nothing to do with coaching
Getting talent is at least half the battle, though. I hate it for 'em. Detest Duke.
They only had one recruit in the incoming class, Lee Volker. She is a three* just outside of the top 100.
So in essence the transfers are their recruiting class. I think a good season for them is to finish in the top Half of the ACC
Neither of those teams make sense to me. Baylor got Texas Tech transfer Chrislyn Carr, a PG who averaged 18 ppg. LSU returns All SEC PG Khayla Pointer with an extra year of eligibility
It appears:

Let's see what a uconner does in te SEC.

If she can get them to .500 in conference in her third year she will have done miraculous job
She has to hit the recruiting trail first though. Their depleted. But, I'm sure her resume will help to attract folks.
That was my unstated point.
Her first year she is just stuck with a roster.
Second year, clean house, invite every transfer and Juco you can to join a hopefully decent recruiting class.
Third year rinse and repeat. If she knows her stuff and is lucky it would still be a miracle to be .500 in conference
Well you called it. I did not think she would go there. We appear to be the only top team that did not get a ring chasing transfer. Dawn recruited us out of that strategy
I believe Baylor had some crazy number like 9 spots open at one point. I would be shocked if Mulkey can cobble together a championship team with that many transfers. They'll be good, of course. Just not national champs.
And, yes, Dawn's recruiting has been excellent these last few years. Keeping Lele is more a luxury than a necessity.
I hope that subsequent events never chase us into that strategy. I disdain what's going on. I say "disdain" in order to remain on the proper side of politeness. That applies to all the big college sports.
Many thoughts
We don’t win a national championship without transfers Alisha Gray and Kaela Davis. So I am not willing to use blanket statements about transfers.
The last four who transferred out from USC: Aarion Bradshaw, Bianca Jackson, Haley Troup, and La’Dhazia Williams all did so out of frustration. All were buried on the bench and all four became starters as soon as they were eligible. Hooray for them.
The portal is both blessing and curse. It gives the player more freedom and power over their own career. That is a good thing. We can change jobs for a better opportunity whenever we want, why not them?
You also see that the majority of players transferring are going down a level. That is a benefit to player and coach. Player gets PT and coaches get to dump non productive players and upgrade their roster
But there is a long shadow side.
Under handed recruiting will basically never stop.
Players are in danger of never confronting and overcoming difficulties..... instead “i’ll transfer.”
We will eventually see a group of players “collude” to all transfer to form a super team.
Roster turnover can reek havoc on a program’s continuity. The game will move to more and more coach driven not institution driven. This is great for us with DS. The flip side is Nikki McCray-Pinson, she inherited an excellent roster to extend a budding dynasty. Poof, her second year will only have two players from when she arrived.
Syracuse has 11 players in the transfer portal WTH

In the end, I doubt this transfer portal as it works now will really give players more "freedom and power." Imagine being a player who waited your turn to start and now a player is transferring in who's going to take your starting spot. Now you're forced to transfer, if you want more playing time. But maybe you don't want to transfer. Either way I doubt you would feel like the transfer portal was a benefit to you.
I also think the transfer portal, as it stands now, gives coaches more cover to run off unwanted players.
Hopefully the NCAA will restore sanity and return to the pre-COVID transfer rules. As someone who has a kid who plays club ball, which is constant roster turmoil, I can say we really shouldn't want college ball to turn into club ball. Trust me.
Its almost to late for that. AAU has basically taken over as it is. They push kids to certain schools based on apparel ties and other things they can get out of it. This is all creating these problems now. AAU is destroying the game of basketball. They will rule over NCAA if not already doing it behind the scenes. I know there are transfers in other sports but basketball is out of hand.
Make that 12 winloseortie. Kamilla Cardoso transferring out of Syracuse
Something funky is going over there.
Word on the street is she's looking at uconn or Auburn. Hope she chooses the SEC school, she's from Tenn. But, don't be surprise if goes to Kentucky either. A few of her high school teammates are there.

UCONN already has Ododa-Nelson and got the center from Ohio St, Dorka Juhazs, who was 1st team Big 10. They also have 6’5” Amari Deberry as an incoming Fr.
Cardoso is a great talent but that would a logjam. She would transform UK
Hillsman must be radioactive at Syracuse but I have heard no rumblings about anything
I like Aaliyah Edwards out of all of them (well, I haven't seen Deberry). Hopefully she'll transfer if UCONN adds another big.
I never said that there is no place for transfers. I differentiate between the system that brought Gray and Davis here and what is happening now. This is carte blanche. It is also counter-educational and anti-developmental in terms of maturity and character. And it is chaotic. How can all that be good?
The NCAA is not going to restore sanity to anything. The NCAA will mess it up even more so than it is - like AAU does, at least the big-time AAU.
Sources tell @TheNextHoops
that Baylor center Hannah Gusters has entered the transfer portal and has asked that other schools not contact her, indicating that she already knows where she is transferring too.
She was the second-ranked center in the 2020 high school class.

Well the first shoe has dropped in the Mulkey, LSU and Baylor recruiting saga.
Gusters who was a top recruit but played very limited minutes(second fewest minutes of anyone on the roster) at Baylor has committed to LSU
Yeah, I saw that the other day.
& 6'9 Mulkey is heading to Washington as a grad transfer
Some are speculating it could have something to do with the effects of Hurricane Ida. She's from Louisiana and we don't know what havoc that may have caused to her family and home. I hoping that theory is not the case.
