Crump is not a loss, ignore the HS rankings.....

She was a liability on D, never looked engaged with the program, not a good shooter, not a good ball handler.  I realize she was only a freshman but there were 30+ freshman that out played her.  The fact that she couldn't beat out Judd is all we need to know.   

First of all she was probably the best shooter on the team or at least comparable to Lee. She didn’t play the same position as Judd so that is an indicator you don’t know what you are talking about.

The hand wringing about a program ran by a coach that’s nipping at the heels of a national title is wild. We’re gonna get lose some, get ours and i bet we’re back in the final four next year with a completely different roster of dogs. 

Well that’s great but so long as Madi Booker is hanging around 13% of FGs made, I don’t care if Candace Parker and Maya Moore are on the team, we aren’t winning.

@Gerry Hamilton are we seeing all this crazy transfer movement in anticipation of it being the last year for players to do it without the hassle of lawsuits etc.?

Good Q. Agents may be pushing some of that, but its for the agent to make more $$$ than reality in a year IMO

college sports with transfers nil and other rigamarole are going downhill quickly and swiftly for me yo

Thanks. I lurk and hardly post. 
 

Those are exactly the rumors I am talking about. I am on the Discord and it’s concerning me now.

What discord server?

Selfishly, I am not enjoying the current state of college athletics. While I think that the players deserve to be paid for their efforts, the resulting disarray every off season takes away from the games I grew up watching. For example, is a billionaire from some unnamed second rate school gonna lure our best player away? Again this is selfish on my part (and I am sure many, many others) but I miss not having to learn 50% of the names of our new players every season.

Thank you!

I figured Crump would leave. Has Lee said she is leaving yet, I thought she would go immediately.

I love Justice Carlton's game too. But if someone offers you twice as much money, it's hard to say no. But I think it's a mistake. Being a Longhorn Legend can set you up for life.

The same applies to other schools.

Yeah if you get paid 600k to go to Michigan, you’re in a pretty premier situation.

That can’t be good to lose this much talent.

Michigan doesn’t even have WBB money like that and has a team to retain. The top WBB NIL schools are Iowa, SC, USC, UConn and Texas with 7 figures. Texas WBB is not Texas MBB.

One of the reasons women’s basketball has a unique appeal over men’s recently is the longevity of the star players with less early pro departures, and not as crazy roster turnover. Unfortunately, it seems like that may not be the case for the second part. 
 

However tough, have to adapt with the times. The talented group of incoming freshman will have opportunities and we will be a top destination target for portal players looking to win.

There are schools where basketball is bigger than Texas basketball.

Lee started and played starters minutes and is probably the reason Crump is leaving (besides$)

Preston has waited all this time to take over from Rori then leaves when Rori leaves? Ok. Can find better PGs in the portal. 

[Dallas Horns Fan]

Let them all leave, who cares.

Would Shay Holle shot 3 for 23....this is ridiculous that we think we need Preston Lee back if she wants to go to some BMF school.

Please Go!!!  You will love Kentucky!!
