Currently, there’s 3 open ships (I believe we can work our way around Syd if needed and resources are there). I think we’ve got several things we’ve got to consider when looking at portal.

-who goes? Who remains?
-Is Reniya expected a full return and be able to go for the full year? If not, you’ve got add another ball handler.
-foreigners- is everything set in stone for their return and for their futures.
-Noelle Bofia: early enrollee; ideally we already know if she will be an immeadiate impact player from day one. She’s been here 3 months. If not, you need a 4 and a 5 in my opinion.
-Taissa was expected to be more of a guard. Is she able to transition there or is it realistic for her to? She was 0-9 from 3 and they were not pretty. I do think she grows significantly defensely.

I do expect to see 1 or 2 more transfers. I’d expect us to add:
-1/2
-athletic wing
-big

look for names of who we’ve played as they enter the portal and former finalists of HS players.

Have been thinking she would be another great fit for us. Where did we finish in her HS recruiting?
Did not finish as a finalist. This one is different as a foreigner though. Parents moved back to Hungary this year with her entire family. Zero regions in the US that favor a more likely commit.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but last season almost all of these great ACC players travelled OOC, very few stayed in ACC.

Left ACC:
  • #1 Latson from FSU to UofSC (#2 vote recipient for All-ACC)
  • #2 Miles from ND to TCU (#3 vote recipient for All-ACC)
  • #10 Carnegie from GT to UGA (All-freshman team, 6th player of the year)
  • #11 Okananwa from dook to MD (2nd in votes for 6th player of the year)
  • #12 Morgan from GT to KY (All-ACC 2nd team)
  • #15 Koval from ND to to LSU (All-freshman team)
  • #17 Dunn from GT to USC
  • #19 Lattimore from UVA to Miss
  • #22 Saurez from Cal to TCU
Joined ACC:
  • #9 Smith from LSU to UVA
  • #13 Kyle from UofF to Miami
  • #16 Moore from Vandy to ND (3rd best player on Vandy)
  • #25 Ziegler from St Joe's to Ville (mid-major)
Nyla Harris was the highest ranked player to move from one ACC team to another; she was in the #25-35 category on this list. The point here is that the vast majority of ACC talent chased money. presumably at a level that other ACC teams could not offer.

The vast majority of ACC additions were either not full starters on P4 teams (like Aaarnisalo) or more likely they came from mid-majors.


Note that the only All-ACC players out of 25 who returned were Hidalgo (POY), Fournier (1st team), Johnson (1st team, but now in portal), Brooks (1st team). Kelly (2nd team currently injured), Tajianna Roberts (2nd team), Agara (2nd team, but now in portal). Everyone else either graduated or entered the portal.

For the ACC to gain relevancy again we need to reverse this trend.

Here is who "won" the portal last year. (LOL at SMU, they lost Robertson so this made no sense even then)

Our budget, along with most ACC schools, is not very big. If kids are chasing money they are going to end up in the Big Ten or SEC. Who can blame them?

We do have money for new players. That is where CB chose to use her extra funds.

Civil enters the portal. This fits our need more than others- and athletic, quick guard. Good defender. Finalist out of HS last year and took multiple visits:

I updated the original posit. The transfer portal is now officially open...
