The May 1 deadline refers only to the date the players wishing to transfer must enter the portal. As long as they are in the portal by May 1, they can sign after that date and still have immediate eligibility, provided they meet all other requirements.

It would be nice if there was a signing deadline to try and create at least some element of entertainment out of this process. |

Another Summit League transfer possibility would be Danni Nichols from WIU, who entered the portal yesterday. Guessing Taylor Ignoto was very involved in recruiting her to WIU.

I have to think that we haven't heard portal news because our coaches are being choosy, and deliberating... trying to find "good fit" candidates. Something like that. Also, it's hard to both put together a staff, shore up relationships with current and future committed players, work out and evaluate the current roster to determine need, establish new recruiting targets, put together a 2023 schedule, ... etc. Tough job for a brand new head coach. I'm sure our Athletic Department is assisting her (and Coach Pete) well, but there are just a lot of balls in the air right now. I'm sure we will get some transfer news soon. The right fit is more important than the quick fix. I'm hoping for a 2 or 3-year type transfer player. One of Coach P's new grad-transfer players will make WVU her 4th school... I'm sure she's a great player, but that's just insane from a culture standpoint. Welcome to the future, I guess. That is all well and good, the problem your staff faces is that they have 3 more days to sign any non-grad transfer players if they want them to be eligible for the one-time transfer rule exception for this upcoming season. Makes me wonder if your staff doesn't instead focus on 1-2 year window grad transfers instead. This would give them a chance to evaluate the players currently rostered and those with scholarship offers. Having the 1-2 year players means that even if you are wrong by making a hasty judgement you don't have to live long with the mistake and aren't doing it in place of younger players you are offering. It appears likely that they will have 1000+ to choose from next year if things don't work out the way they want only they will be able to look after having a better feel for the strengths/weaknesses and needs for the team. There have to be quality players who despite the loss of 5 starters and a HC would still covet coming to play for a team coming off a Sweet 16 appearance. Yeah, I don't know what the strategy will be. I'm hoping that after this transition year we will have more roster stability, like we did for 6 years under Coach P. I'm hoping we are not one of the programs constantly remaking the roster every year. I don't think that will be the case. That's why finding the right fit is important, IMHO. Girls that want to be here for more than one reason. I guess we will find out soon. |

Nichols would be an interesting addition. Averaged nearly 16 per game last year and did so with efficiency - 52.8% from the floor. |

What are the odds that we pick up anyone from the portal this year?

What are the odds that we pick up anyone from the portal this year? I would say its pretty close to a certainty. |

Don't we need another point guard?

It is not imperative to pick up anybody this year. The Yotes had 2 freshman redshirts sitting on the bench last year, and another injury redshirt, and they still had players that did not get much time because there were not enough minutes to go around. I think the coaches can work with and develop the talent they have. It would be nice to pick up an experienced big, and maybe an experienced point guard, but schools have gone forward with a lot less than what the Yotes now have.

We have a couple really good recruits coming in this fall as well. The cupboard isn't as bare as it appears. |

I agree that the cupboard is not bare and there is talent to be developed. But I would be shocked if they don't add anybody via the portal. As it stands now, there will be 11 players on the roster. Mazurek won't be ready to start the season. If we get a couple injuries, that roster gets pretty thin pretty fast. I know Kayla said they hoped to add experience in the portal, and I would expect them to do that. |

We do have a lot of talent back but only one with playing time is a point. I don't know if Carson or Bergstom are point guards or how they will play. If they can do what Grace did then we are probably good.
