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.
