The transfers are out of control in the women's game...over 15 MAC players alone have asked for releases since the end of the year.
FIFTEEN? We know about the girl at UT. Who else?
You just know that FalconBoy and a few others had a MAJOR coniption when they read the title of the thread
I read that a couple Ball State kids requested their release a few weeks back. That's all I know of (besides Aubry from UT). The BSU kids were Patrice King and Jade Barber.
The Mauk twins- Rachel and Stephanie- will leave CMU and will land at IPFW or Asland or Findlay. Both of these women played extensive minurtes for the Chips. Stephanie played more early. Rachel started many games late in the year. This information is on the CMU web site. Ohio University will lose several players though no official announcement has been made. But three are possible.
Generally, I feel that women want to play soon- and if they don't play early or don't feel they are in for a lot of minutes, they look to leave perhaps more quickly than men. Not saying there aren't transfers in the men's game- there are plenty- but it seems to be more common in the women's game. A good example of the reverse in thinking would be Laura Bugher at BG. A very fine HS player, she was a super team member at BG but didn't play many minutes. But she is a joy to be around, a well liked team member and a super student. Of course, her major is a real strength at BG and that was a big focus for her. Could she have played more at a lower level D1 school etc? Sure. But she loved BG. Not a real common story.
I also think that in the women's game the women come in expecting to play soon. My theory is that you see far more high school freshman girls on the varsity teams than freshmen boys on their teams.
Factors include the depth of talent at HS level for girls and mainly the maturity factor. Freshmen girls are far more likely to physically be equal to or beyond seniors than the boys.
At college as the best women come together the competition is much greater than many of these ladies have ever seen. Most of them have never had to wait their turn.
I proudly chose to be a Falcon and a Falcon I will remain until the end.
