Biggest takeaways from the 2024 women's transfer portal 

I am really focused on Azzi this summer. Her comeback will depend on so many factors that are seen and unseen. If she comes back strong, UConn will have a fight on their hands between Ashlyne, KK and Aubrey. I'm grabbin' the popcorn, boys!! Peace!!

Chen is a better guard than HVL, and certainly a better defender.

HVL is so overrated. She had more turnovers than assists at her time in Louisville. Jeff Walz did a good job of hiding her weaknesses. And yes she did struggle defensively against CC but that’s mostly on Kim Mulkey. Until HVL actually does something I’m tired of hearing about her. She needs to do the talking on the court

When do the new recruits arrive at UCONN now? Do the players come in separately before the students arrive in the Fall?

Karlen would be a great fit. She is a tough nosed, smart player,. Plus, she and Paige are buddies from their days in Minnesota, even were on the same AAU team for a season. And Chen is a super great addition. Couple her with KK and you have two good ball handlers, so Paige doesn't have to do a lot of that. Obviously she can but not what you want, and--more importantly--what Geno and the staff want.

Remember, somewhat like Aaliya it took TINA a few years to become the amazing player that she is. Thank you Geno for sticking with her. Not to worry about players being ready either. I think we have a few non conference games before the actual season starts.

My takeaway is that smart teams know how to utilize the portal. USC has turned into a national title contender. And Texas got better. Notre dame may get better if they land Karlen. Karlen and Barker are the last two players in the portal that I think can obviously make UConn better. I hope UConn is looking at them. TCU became a fun team to watch. Kentucky did some interesting things. Tennessee has overhauled their roster. And I am excited to see how Lucy Olsen does at Iowa.

And UCONN is one of only the 3 ice cream parlors in CT that sells ice cream right from their own COWS! UCONN has everything!

If we want to continue having the 3 G offense, then Chen is great. If we just want a backup, then Chen is great. I see no down-side to getting her on the squad.

I think that one reason people were getting tired of HVL was RU-vid. Seemed like everyother RU-vid post was about HVL when there were over 1300 other players in the portal. It's really good to see Amari and Ines get new homes.

Maryland has gone backwards these past years; signing Amari DeBusty shows why. Also, tired of hearing about HVL. Now she’s at a secondary level WBB school, hoping for great things?

Re: HVL. Sports Media is responsible for elevating HVL to mythical status. Hailey is simply trying to elevate her game, improve her skills, and advance to the next level. Who can fault her for that? Personally, I thought her had a good season-under a big spotlight- at LSU.

HVL is way overrated.

I wasn't going to comment on this subject but it is what it is. Its almost as if Jenna gets in foul trouble or hurt they may depend on Paige to play the 5 since shes experienced. I hope the hey get a big so they wont put so much pressure on Paige. Most definitely drafted number one if ask to do so again.

Stop with HVL cry me a river already… next!!!!!

if Azzi doesn't get the chip with Paige this upcoming season can see her transferring to SC and finally obtaining it.
