Disappointing. Do we just not have the funds?

Her agent just shops her around to every team to make profit.

 

[SherrellMcMillan]

Back out west?

One of the reasons I need to become a billionaire is to fund this program at the level it deserves

I understand if it’s not cost effective for IC, but this and the Grant situation would be really nice to have reported inside info on

Don’t be surprised if this is a “full circle moment.”

 

[BlueHeels02]

Well that sucks

As in back to UCLA?

Teams like Tennessee, UCLA and Texas are WIDE OPEN with rosters and they have the money to go after whomever they want.

Plus, international players seem to transfer a lot. (Maybe it’s just me). I expected this one though because of that and the fact she played very very well down the stretch.

Ouch

 

[TarHeelAlum05]

As in back to UCLA?

Yup

 

[Gio2dahouse]

This doesnt make sense with Lana leaving. Maybe she is on a tour of US and wants to see the country

 

[HOFcoachRoy]

Geez...This isn't fun anymore. Really needed to keep her.

 

[Mtns2Sea]

Very sad to see her decide to leave. Certainly doesn't qualify for the "forever a Tar Heel" tag in my mind but I wish her good luck and hope that this works out for her.

CB need money for NIL bad? The top brass needs to help her. I notice how they gave money to men's football, basketball, and baseball. This sucks. Now more than ever, we need another PG bad. It has to be an elite one to go with Kate.

Dook will certainly remember Elina as “forever a Tar Heel”. She drilled them in that regular season finale. I wish her well and hope she is on the Finnish National Team in a few years.

You are right about that, BoomerHeel!!

It’s all money- even the schools who have big money (Texas) are starting over from scratch.

you want an Audi Crooks? Someone has to write a $600K check for. You want an all-conf level player, someone has to write a $400-500K check for.

 

[HeydayHeel]

I hate this. As long as the NCAA has unrestricted free agency athletes will have agents that cut deals before anyone knows.

link still works...

Maybe she is doing what Dixon and Dennis are doing testing the waters and has left room to return if it does not work out.

You could be accurate, maybe she is just testing the market. Would be interesting if she does return for her junior year, most said she is a great teammate.

One thing I remember from interviews with EA/LG was that they were in the gym shooting and working on their every day together. Love the drive because that's what it takes to become elite.

Wonder if there is more to that story.
