Retaining HS players is ideal

But not realistic under current portal model. Maybe if the 5 year proposal gets approved it becomes more realistic again. Hate to make it about one player, but we owe it to Carleigh to put together a highly competitive team for her final season. We have a good roster now, but definitely need a few more pieces to maintain our momentum. When we got the 2 Tennessee transfers early on, I thought wow, it is on! Then it fizzled. Recruiting is a funny thing. Players we were in the running for before seemingly didnt give us a look this time around, and on the other end we weren't in Hurst's final 3 last year but now she is on board. On that note, Tennessee received another commitment today so they have literally built a whole new team from the portal.

Your last sentence is an excellent point that bugs me a bit**
1977hokie 04/29/26 12:02 PM ET
Transfers without penalty (no sitting out) should only be allowed after
