Transfer Portal 2025

I respectfully disagree. For example, if we were to bring in the Texas girl and the UCF girl that we are in on that are still undecided those two girls would definitely take priority playing timewise over the incoming freshmen with exception to Chavez. I just don't like the idea of nine players because the depth is what will win championships. Look at South carolina. Look at Connecticut in The season's prior to this season, they were short on healthy people and only had about seven or eight players capable of contributing and it cost them in the postseasons. This season they were the most healthy they have been in about 4 years and they finally met expectations. 11 is probably the perfect number to have on a roster if all of them are capable of contributing. Which we aren't even 100% sure the incoming freshman and Caya Smith are capable of doing until we see how much they've improved before this upcoming season..

True. Of the 9 on the current roster, we know what 5 can do against SEC competition. The Texas girl or UCF should have a good chance of starting. JMHO!
 
Ah the namecalling. The ad hominem is the avenue of the weak-minded.

If OU fails miserably this year, then Chavez will 100% be gone next year.
They won’t fail. You are talking about a program that won two consecutive big 12 titles and finished in the top 4 in regular season and tournament of the SEC this season. Additionally made the sweet 16 this year, brings back most of their production, and signed the number one player in the country from the state of Texas over Texas, LSU, and South Carolina.

You do seem to Iike using over the top inflammatory language about a team of which you are supposedly a fan. That’s going to attract inflammatory responses. The portal has been a disappointment so far, but that doesn’t negate all of the good things that have happened with the women’s basketball program.
 
Yes, getting Chavez is great! I am not discounting that. What I am saying is that roster management has been abysmal this year. I think it is 100% due to the well being dry, money-wise. They spent a lot to get Chavez, no denying that. I think they have very minimal amounts to work with, and can't get any top transfers to consider OU because of that.

Bash away. But I am an CPA, and am not allowed to believe in coincidences. The lack of any transfer visits, aside from one, screams no money in the war chest right now.
 
I'm not going to complain about anything JB is doing.

But yeah, they really need to find a couple of late adds. You have to have more than 9. I wish they could take a flier on a homer pick like Kirston Verhulst but alas, she's 2025 and committed/signed to Mid Tenn St.

Seems to still be trending to OU here though...but things are sort of quiet follow-wise. Some Vandy follows. Still monitoring.

If they get her. I would say 10 would be fine. All would get good playing time. Really have to hit 2026 recruits hard. Maybe the new coach will help with that. I think the main problem was that JB was counting on Kneepkens. They got in on the other players late.
 
the fact that we missed out on Rodriguez tells me we are all or nada with the Texas girl. If we don't get her then i truly have no idea who else we're looking at, and the longer it goes, the more likely it'll be a player that probably isn't being heavily recruited. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't have any depth to spell kids, or relieve them when in foul trouble it becomes a problem. Look at what happened to TCU two seasons ago...they were a very solid 5 or 6, and then they were slammed with injuries. God forbid any of our girls get injured (Lofton might still not be 100% healthy, btw) then our top 10 team plummets. I can't help but think maybe it IS an NIL issue now...
