As some of the former Hokies at UNC get ready for the semi-finals and finals, I was thinking about which current players on Tech's roster the elite programs are hoping to see in the transfer portal. IMO, the talent level isn't as good as it was last spring, so I'd expect less transfers this spring. Like most WLAX programs, I expect at least half a dozen to transfer for various reasons. "If" Lauren Render and/or Mia Pozzi decided to enter the portal, they'd get serious attention from the elite programs. With an increase in NIL money and a chance to play for a program that has a legitimate shot at a national championship, I wouldn't blame players from programs like Tech to transfer to an elite program. I have a feeling Tech doesn't offer the NIL money that most ACC WLAX programs offer and our recent postseason history doesn't help us retain better players either. I hope that Kristen Skiera can keep her better players this spring but we live in a different college sports world today than we did just a short decade ago (even five years ago). I'm just preparing myself to see some of our better players make decisions that will help them in the near future. I hate to say this, but I can't blame them. Go Hokies!
