I'm surprised to see two starters transferring from North Dakota, since they kept their coach. Jarnot and Zander are decent forwards.

I know Kiyoat that you thought women's basketball we wouldn't see the transfer of players like we have on the men's side and i think were going to see it also on the Women' side and it may grow more than you think. You and SDSU have been blessed in having quality coaching and people that have wanted to stay number years in your program so i think that has insulated you some from this recent development. This new found freedom that college players are experiencing i think is going to stay because players are not willing to stay for any number of reasons at different schools from education they want, if the program is winning or not, if they like the coach or not, if they get along with the other players or not, the playing time there getting or even down to community the university is located in. Here at UND we have been loosing players and i got to believe its not one thing but number different reasons for each of these players wanting to transfer and if you look its not older graduate players but younger players moving rethinking their choice of school they decided on when they were recruited. I think your going to see also this at the South Dakota schools in next few years too because both of schools are dominate in veteran players and when you start getting these younger kids coming your going to see some of the same thing other schools in the conference are experiencing. I think coaching is going to get lot more difficult because it's not just recruiting these players to come to your school but you are going to now have to be on top of what's going on with them to retain them or they are going to move on. The coaches don't have leverage they have in the past and this maybe the correction from that abuse of power they have had. I got to believe were going to see in future were going to see more of contract with students for scholarships where if schools commit to full ride scholarships players will commit to more than one year but the rules on recruiting and scholarships are going to have to be changed. So in next few years if they continue to allow transferring without sitting year were going to see alot of player movement and i don't see NCAA going backwards on this because power 5 schools like this and looks good PR for college sports. That's my thoughts on this and i may be all wrong but here at UND this spring we sure are seeing movement of players like never before and mirrors our hockey program which has had this going on for number of years.

I am all for student athletes having the freedom to do as they choose. It is up to the particular school to have a culture that is going to result in their athletes wanting to stay.

[gopheryote]

750 and counting.

Looks like Western picked up a transfer guard from Cincinnatti.  Redshirt Junior grad transfer, so I guess she will have a couple of years to play?

Yeah, that's a fair point.  The few transfers we have been involved with recently were a couple of bench players going out when Coach P was hired, Jaycee Bradley left after Dawn's second year when she was getting less minutes, and Hannah and Aspen (both centers) transferring in.

...I think your going to see also this at the South Dakota schools in next few years too because both of schools are dominate in veteran players and when you start getting these younger kids coming your going to see some of the same thing other schools in the conference are experiencing...

I wouldn't be too surprised to see some players with less playing time transfer out with our "big three" coming back.  That's understandable.  I doubt you will see us lose any starters or "first off the bench" players, though.  On the men's side the teams that lose less players are NDSU and SDSU.  Similar deal, but I guess I still stand by my thought that the women's side will be less drastic than the men's.

I think coaching is going to get lot more difficult because it's not just recruiting these players to come to your school but you are going to now have to be on top of what's going on with them to retain them or they are going to move on.

I agree.

Interesting idea.  With contracts might come negotiation and compensation.  And just like that we are back to talking about paying athletes.  I can see both sides of it, so I don't strongly land on either side of the fence on that.  It will be fun to see what happens, I guess.  Sports are entertainment.

Denver is adding a 6’3 Soph F from Howard, named Makayla Minett.

[kiyoat]

Also another bench guard from Kansas City is transferring: Lauren West from Omaha.

Two more players are leaving Denver.  Of the 3 transferring out, two were the first off the bench, each getting 17 to 18 minutes.  Also both of them were from Colorado (Sam Deem and Jasmine Jeffcoat).

(updated OP)

Per Twitter, Omaha is getting a transfer from UAB. Sam Mitchell, 5’6 So guard from Illinois, good 3 pt shooter. It looks like she’s from Claudia’s high school.

Omaha is quickly becoming a seriously player in the SL. A few birthdays for their young players and add a couple immediate threats, that offensive should be pretty impressive.

Yeah, they have been a good defensive team for a few years now, even with the previous coach.  The biggest thing they were missing was consistency from the arc (and offense in general).

Also, looks like Sam started six games and averaged 22 minutes on the season, so probably a first-off the bench type player.

[hoopsmom]

Two new transfers in:
Presbyterian to Denver. Tess Santos, 6’ SR F from Lisbon, Portugal

Missouri State to UMKC, Dani Winslow, 6’1 FR W from Olathe, KS

[hoopsmom]

The portal now has 885 women listed....
From Detroit Mercy to UND. Sammiyah Hoskin. 5’10 So W , Detroit

UND’s Garvey landed at Northern State (D2)

Omaha to ?? Sara Schmitt 5’8 So G from Swisher, IA

[kiyoat]

Thanks for the updates! I fixed the OP. Surprised Sara Schmitt is leaving Omaha, she was a starter as a Sophomore at a program making strides. Who knows all the reasons people transfer, I guess.

The Denver and UMKC pickups seem to be good ones. Santos was a starter, and Winslow was a backup on one of the best mid-majors.
