Since it appears that Kyah is gone and Maddie may be as well, does anyone have thoughts about transfers to USD? If both are gone, I would expect Kayla to dip into the pool for at least one addition and possibly two.
I've heard USD has interest in Aubrey Joens from Iowa State. Anyone else that might be on the radar?

Joens would be a great fit and she has heard from us. I'm sure Kayla has her eye on a portal player or two, we'll have the open scholarships, but she may also have her eye on some recruits that weren't being pursued by Dawn/Ariel.

I wouldn't think there are many kids still uncommitted but I suppose that's a possibility as well. With Williston now gone looks like we we have at least 3 (4 if Krull leaves) spots open. Hopefully we add some good players. |

Hopefully we add some good players. A source that tracks this stuff closely posted 3 hours ago that the D-1 transfer list for WBB was 1126 ladies. Of those, 260 had gone to new schools. Of those 260, 70 were going to Power 5 schools. Lots of available players yet. |

Two kids that redshirted last year, two new recruits, probably some transfers, and some returning players who just haven't big minutes. There will be lots of new faces. Not ideal perhaps, but still it will be fun to see how it comes together. With good coaching it should be a group that improves and gels as the year goes on. The Bunny fans have already written us off for the foreseeable future, of course. |

USD is page 19 if you are curious. Aspen is not listed on there, so not sure of her status. |

There's an absolute ton of Summit League players in the portal.

Was Aspen on scholarship? Hard to believe that she’s been here so long and didn’t see much court time if she was on scholarship

It is not just players looking for playing time its large number of our top talent in the league. Your looking at the loss of top scorers and rebounders in the the conference as well as some very talented players that fill major roles on these various teams. the number players who have either transferred or still in the portal account for 21% of all the roster players in the conference for all teams. This cannot be good for the conference and I believe this trend continues the new commissioner of league will need to look at the reasons for such large number of players leaving the conference.

It’s not just our conference, it is every conference. There are players transferring out of almost every team that was in the elite eight. Multiple players. Several teams have more than eight players transferring out, including P5 teams. I think once the Covid deflation finishes, possibly after next year, we will see more of a return to normal. Plus, expectations will have been tempered by the results of players not improving their lot as much as expected this year. A huge majority of these players will find themselves at the lower conference levels than where they started, including the D2 level. There are some players in our league that have already found a new spot but haven’t announced them yet, and of the 3 that I know of, two of them are going to D2 schools.

So here is a question for the portal curious among us. What does this team need most in terms of potential additions? I suppose the answer depends a bit on whether Maddie is back. Personally a great shooter would be high on my list.

Personally a great shooter would be high on my list. A tenacious defender, someone with extreme mental toughness, a natural leader, and a player with a bunch of experience. Our team is going to be greener than Augusta in April. |

This cannot be good for the conference and I believe this trend continues the new commissioner of league will need to look at the reasons for such large number of players leaving the conference. Haven't you already speculated that players are leaving because the SD schools are blocking the route to the NCAA tourney and so players are seeking teams that have a better chance? And are a large number of players leaving the Summit? Players in Portal: 1,128 Conferences in D1: 32 Schools in D1: 356 Average Players leaving per conference: 35.25 Average Players leaving per team: 3.2 Players leaving the Summit according to kiyoat: 31 So in actuality it looks as though the SL is pretty much on par (or even a little below) what is happening throughout the country. So it's pretty clear this isn't a SL issue but a college basketball issue. |
