Re: And so it begins...Harriet Ford to the portal

Not sure how accurate this is, but I guess Blackford is out too?

Saw that too.

I think there will be more.  Highly competitive players don't like losing and want to play for competitive teams and competent coaches.

I hope Harper paid attention to the high-level coaching going on by Grand Valley State and IUP on our floor as we hosted the DII women's championship game.

Oklahoma State went 24-10.  Won a game in the Big Dance before losing to UCLA..  EIGHT players in the portal already ..  NO indication it is because of a coach leaving.  Some were the top players on the team..some saw were middle tier players..some saw limited action.

George Mason 23-10 --  A-10 runners up..  Top 2 players Harris 14.1PPG and Walton 18.1 PPG leaving.

Last year 1,800+ players leave through the portal (and I wonder how many players "exhausted their eligibilty" on the 350 schools as Megan, Kiandra and Gabby did)

In SEC --  16 teams -  15 players per team ONE player hangs around for 4 years as David did at DU (and hopefully Jacob will do the same)

AND the portal HASN'T "officially opened"

Mackenzie and Harriett WILL be missed as they WERE contributors.. 

On a side note Raymi was honored on Senior Day.. She earned a degree (in Accounting) in three years Hats off to her.

AL OUT
