NCAAW Hoops talk!

Kind of a surprise, but not really, Fulwiley entered the portal.
When they added Latson and Raven stayed, just not enough minutes to go around.

Whether it's the right decision or not (leaving Dawn rarely is, I'd imagine), not many players with her talent would sign up for a 3rd season coming off the bench.

I just hope she finds the right place, and gets it figured out. She's so fun to watch when she's on.

And TCU just added Cal forward Marta Suarez to go along with Miles and Silva. Campbell is reloading really well (again).

And great to see Michigan adding a little size in the portal. Kendall Dudley from UCLA and Ashley Sofilkanich from Bucknell (Patriot League POY).

There was always concern about the Michigan kids getting poached, so it's nice to see they are loading up around them.

Where's Fulwiley going? That one does surprise me.

Still no word, AFAIK. Some speculation about Ole Miss.

Also Oluchi Okananwa entered the portal and is apparently visiting Maryland (with a no contact tag, so you'd think Maryland is the leader).

Pretty big shocker for me. Duke is on the rise and Oluchi figured to be a big part of that. She seemed to love Kara and the program.

Would be a huge get for Maryland. Oluchi and Garzon would be heck of a portal pair.

It's unfortunate because I feel like she needs that firm guidance that Staley provides but I don't blame her for wanting to start. It's now Year 3 for her.

Fulwiley off the bench was ridiculous but I figured she'd stick around because it's South Carolina.

But it had to be rough watching Raven Johnson play on offense while you are coming off the bench.

Exactly. I can understand the frustration.

It's a shame tho. But that's the NCAA now.

Reports that LSU is the frontrunner for Fulwiley.

This would be absolutely wild if it happened.

It would either be an absolutely perfect fit, or a total disaster (Mulkey luring another guard into a bad decision)

It would certainly be a lot of fun to watch. SC dealing with Flau'jae, Mikayla, Fulwiley, and a (hopefully) improved Koval would be a lot of fun to watch.

Also, Janiah Barker to Tennessee.

I just don't get it for Barker. She was a presumed 1st round pick for the W. Went to UCLA. DIdn't get minutes.

Now she goes to a program where Caitlin and A'ja would have been limited to 18 minutes a game. Good for UT, but I can't imagine how Barker can improve her draft stock there.

I don't like Mulkey after what happened with HVL. Ugh.

[Green Chile]

Milaysia confirmed it's LSU.

Skim Milkey was all over this even as LSU and Fulwiley were denying it. I say that because Skim has also reported that Milaysia wanted to stay at SC, but her mom wanted her to go for a bag.
No idea, but Skim has been on top of this.

Who knows, but none of this makes a ton of sense with Flau'jae, Mikayla, and some good young guards coming in. Apparenly, Milaysia has played some PG in HS, but it's hard to imagine Mulkey promised her a starting PG position.

It's going to be fascinating to see how it plays out, and I hope it works for her. Feels like a bad decision, but what do I know. Mulkey didn't help HVL as a transfer, but she surely helped Angel and Morrow.
