I'm actually surprised Janae isn't in the portal. Do we think Kyndall is the last one to enter?

Yeah I'm surprised too, not sure what role Janae had in this offense if any, I expected she'd be one of the first ones out. Lauren Ware could be next, but as a graduate she can just be a grad transfer and go anywhere else without a public declaration into the portal. Kent, Ware, and Saidu are all we have left from the last place team in the SEC

Assistant Rodney Hill is now at Auburn

Let's hope her stats translate to the SEC. She's coming from a mid major that finished 11-19 for the year. On a brighter note, they were 7-23 the year before so there was progress lol. It would be nice if we could sign someone that comes from a winning program.
Edited to say, I'm not complaining. Just was hoping for Fulwiley hahaha

So we've landed one (1) good recruit from the portal. I'm concerned about how little we have heading into the season, and the portal closes tomorrow. Looks like it may be another disappointing season ahead

---

Isn't just entering the portal that ends tomorrow(lots of discussion on the Men's hoops threads about this)? Those already in the portal have plenty of time to come out the other side.

Yes, that is correct. The window closed for entry, but not signing with another team.

BREAKING: Auburn transfer Kaitlyn Duhon has decommitted from Texas A&M and has withdrawn her name from the transfer portal, returning to Auburn, sources told @On3sports.

Given the response here to Duhon's commitment, I guess we consider this a good thing as long as we add someone better.

Not sure we can afford to lose anyone unless Coach Taylor has some better players lined up.

That's not good. We are now losing transfers that originally committed? We need to add a minimum of 5 more players from the transfer portal.

So Coach Flip leaves for Auburn and now Duhon goes back to Auburn? Seems fishy but whatever.

was Flip released from his position with us or did he just move bc he was offered something at Auburn?

Doesn't look like much scoring power.

We only need 5 to play, so we're good! We got extra! [/joni]

We will be lucky to just get the ball up the floor, I bet we average over 20 turnovers a game! This roster is scary bad

Janiah Barker has committed to Tennessee! pic.twitter.com/ZYZRmGPkv9

Tennessee just gets better and better.

---

Janiah could not even start for UCLA or even come close. I guess she'd be good for Tennessee, who does 5-in/5-out mass substitutions every 5 minutes. Her lack of quickness isn't ideal for them.

20 wouldn't be so bad all things considered

Yeah in a way I can see Janiah running up the floor past slower post players, but I don't see this being to Janiah's benefit. She needs volume to get going and I don't see her offensive skill set translating into Caldwell's hockey sub style. She's gonna really need the best off season of her life to get into shape!

Tennessee also had a HELL of a recruiting class with multiple 5 stars and 5 top 100 players

Chaney played pg in hs but curious to see if that translates in SEC play if she even gets playing time.

Aggies add a transfer from Sacred Heart
