Still waiting for women signings
- Thread starter Skippy

Biggest unexpected loss was decision by Lindsey Brown not to return for a fifth year after graduating. The Bengals have plenty of guards but they are relatively thin and inexperienced up front. I have heard good things about Sai Tapasa's development this summer. She will have to be a big contributor this year.
Late addition who kind of " slipped through the cracks." Moore averaged 17 points, 10 rebounds and 4.5 blocks a game as a 6-1 F.
Also hear that Blake Truman's wife, Tayvia Ah'Quin, is going to join the women's team. A 5-10 F, she averaged 6.5 points and 4.5 rebounds as a freshman at Snow.

For better or worse, transfers are the new reality in both men's and women's basketball.
In 2016 according to ESPN there were 633 men's transfers. Given the most recent data available from the NCAA, 2014-15 ended with nearly a tenth of women’s college basketball players transferring from four-year colleges and 8.4 percent coming in from two-year colleges. These rates are comparable to men’s college basketball, with four-year and two-year college transfer rates of 14.1 and 15 percent. respectively, for the season.

Thanks for the info. The paper said it didn't know where Isabel Vara de Ray was going, guess you have all the info
. As for the players that graduated (which is great) I don't count those as leaving the program. You are 100% correct transfer rates are up by a lot. To me when your son are daughter is looking to play college ball they need to be honest with themselves is this for me and is it the right fit.
