Texas women's basketball portal thread

[Califashorn75]

LSU has four girls in the Portal. Mulkey thought she would only lose 1.

It’s just college athletics in 2026, folks!

MODs across the board have been quiet on the women’s team. Even on Coffee and Football this morning one danced around the questions asked about the women’s portal and team while the other went straight to the men’s question. Must be something that needs to be kept on the down low for now. 

I'm thinking it's a better of 2 evils thing. I think if they talk about it openly, it doesn't reflect on well on the school because of the possible actions they did or did not do pertaining to those players during the season. So they'd just rather people speculate and think they are leaving because of playing time or NIL etc.

Jordan Lee is still posting Texas stuff on her IG account. I hope she changes her mind. 

That looks like a farewell post.

It might just be that simple.

Yes and No, if I’m at another school and I want those players to jump in the portal I’m going to get that information leaked to the media. That’s just the world we live in now days.

Well you're assuming that the players would share facts that potentially make them look bad and undesirable to schools. Like I said, I think both the school/coaches and players have probably decided or agreed to not talk about it and just move on. In the end, what's done is done and I'm more interested in who we're replacing them with. Lots of good choices out there.

This stuff goes with the sport. If you consume the sport, you must take it as part of the investment.

The best way I have found to follow Texas sports is to not get in love with any one player.  In the age of pay to play your roster is going to be 50-75% new each year.  The top few will be getting most of the money and the bottom 2/3 think they should be getting paid like the top group and it’s just not going to happen.  It can’t happen.  There’s only so many dollars to go around and you are definitely going to keep your best players.

It seems the key here is that locker room dynamics have more to do with this than NIL. The money in WCBB is nothing compared to football or MCBB.

You can’t be mad.  Just wish them well and try to bring in a better player
