Too many coaches following the horrible example of Mulkey and trying to win next season with no concern for the future. These young coaches need to focus on building a solid foundation imo. Their situation is not the same as Mulkey's. Joanie has been the biggest loser so far. I have no idea what A&M's current roster looks like. Purcell is looking to bring in Enya Russell and HVL for a year while losing promising young players like Myracle Sheppard. Perhaps I'm underestimating the pressure to win now on these young coaches.
I think some coaches honestly are still trying to learn about the transfer portal. Some use it to just fill a piece in their current roster (i.e. Dawn Staley) while others are using it to try and be an instant fix (Kim Mulkey). However the instant fix is not truly sustainable long term because you are always replacing and retooling and never having players grow in your system and learn it over the long term. That is what Dawn has and honestly if we go back to it, that was what Frank Martins best team had. The final four team had Thornwell, Notice, Silva, Dozier, etc who had been in his system a while and had grown to know how to play it to perfection. Frank just couldnt keep players other than that group long enough to build that again. Many coaches today are coaching real teams like most of us would on Playstation or Xbox. I used to love to do a fantasy draft for baseball season and make tons of trades to build perfect roster and dominate. That only truly happens on those games and not real life sports. As soon as coaches understand that better, then players will begin to understand it and all things will settle down.
Christy Curry at Bama is somebody for the moment who is using the portal and also trying to recruit. They will have 5 fifth yr seniors this year, all from the portal; SAB, Loyal McQueen, Jessica Timmons, and Aliyah Nye all played for Bama last season and averaged double figures. They have brought in Zaay Green for next year 17ppg. They bring back 5 star Essence Cody and have signed Eris Lester#36 and Chloe Spreen who is just outside the top
I definitely couldn't say it any better myself. That guy writes like the F Scott Fitzgerald of women's basketball scouts. lol.
I think that anyone who is here with the proper paperwork should be good to go, citizen or not.
There is a new bill being introduced in Congress to address this . So right after they fund Taiwan, Israel and Ukraine, they will get right on it
Alas King you are a sensible man, but this is the government AND the NCAA we are talking about.
If a person with the appropriate visa can work in the U.S. and get paid - and/or earn supplemental income, then what is the ACTUAL legal impediment RIGHT NOW to foreign students here on student visas earning NIL money? Let's see what @Rogue Cock has to say about it.
They are on Student Visas which does not permit them to work. That is what the new bill in Congress is supposed to address.
Correct, but there are a couple of exceptions for school-related employment, 20 hours absolute limit for employment while school is in session, and 40 hours when it is not. Outside pay for international students is generally the minimum wage. And, you are correct, the new immigration bill is supposed to address these issues.
Looks like they might be losing one.Christy Curry at Bama is somebody for the moment who is using the portal and also trying to recruit.

They will be a tough out next season
I'm thinking she's Exhibit A as to why the transfer rules need to be further addressed.Just don’t get it.
But it is Loyal McQueen
Originally recruited by us, committed to UNC, decommitted, committed to Wake, decommitted, signed With GaTech and played one full year, quit the team 3 games into her sophomore year, then was a January enrollee at Bama.
I’m thinking she might ought to change her first name
Just don’t get it.

I believe Mr Charles Dickens explained it in a way even you will understand….
Why? And why so chapped at her? She transferred once and is now a graduate transfer. Many do this. it’s no different than HVL.
She and Mingo Young must be trying to collect retirement pay for playing college basketball!!!Just don’t get it.

Zaay Green who just committed to Bama will be entering her 7th season and turn 26 during the seasonShe and Mingo Young must be trying to collect retirement pay for playing college basketball!!!
Roman Tubner, assistant coach at Bama and recruiting coordinator
She turned down 2 schools in the FF, 2 others that made the tournament to go to a team 3-15 in big12. Yes, something doesn’t add up.
Losing two young "big guards--Jah and Cooper--I could see us offering. She would have helped fill a need. UConn definitely offered, so she had big time interest.
She's a late bloomer. She only came to the United States in the last couple of years. Her family is from the Dominican Republic. That's why I speculate she may want to stay closer to her family.
Well, maybe she's not Exhibit A. Maybe it's that girl you cited in post #9547.
Zaay Green. It will be her 4th school in 7 years. But dang dude now you want to pick on a woman working on her second masters degree. She has rehabbed from 2 major knee surgeries that cost her 2.5 seasons of playing time. Everybody has got a story, well except Kim Mulkey.
Hey, the transfer system needs work. You know it and I know it. And if it doesn't, the medical redshirt system apparently does. The college experience wasn't intended to be a perpetuity.
I would propound this King….we all love your input but sometimes the overreach in trying to always or often “propound” gets a little stale, but you keep doing you, don’t let me stop you from your linguistic athletics….you seem to enjoy the schtick. Go for it. I can pass over, I have learned to do so. One suggestion, in the moment when you are “propounding“ , sometimes step back and see if that stuff is even relevant. It’s often just word salad sadly.
