Class of 2023 Alyssa Latham (IL) transferring to Tennessee

[Newhouser]

If you guys think she or her dad were the problem then look again. Maybe it's something else. Think about it. Everything and every one isn't always how you perceive it/them to be.

A) I think money is always an issue.
B) I agree that there may be other issues - ever since it took the Athletic to expose Q's ego insanity, I never judge why players choose to leave. Not everyone and everything is always as it seems.

Not sure that’s the full story on this one

As has been said, her father was very critical all season

True - I think it’s just an outcome or symptom of the larger problem anyway but yeah

Why was he critical?

 

[JRHEETER]

Why was he critical?

He just made a lot of comments on twitter

He deleted most of them after a couple hours

He's locked his twitter now and sanitized most of it.

Thanks for the love! Alyssa

isn't talked about like other freshmen as much. But she's not in the position to have to do as much as some of the other young ladies. Hopefully, people watch next year, and she is a BALLER

Interesting, sounds like someone who wanted the offense to run through a freshman and not our All-American guard. Too bad, it would have been her show next year.

I wish Alyssa the best where ever she ends up. Onward we go.

You people need to stop. Money isn't the issue! Her parents own a daycare so money ain't the problem. Maybe the issues are something else. Look at the whole picture not one piece of it.

I know as much about the situation as you do. Teams are using Money to lure players into the portal See today's headlines concerning Rick Pitino....So yes, it very well could be money. There are a plethora of reasons why players transfer, since she hasn't stated her reasons publically, my guess is just as good as yours....So, what gives you the right to tell me or anyone else on this thread to stop?

This sux!

Has Latham put out a statement on leaving and I'm not seeing? Most do.

I think that her father, in since deleted posts, made it clear that she was transferring.

Daycare centers are not very profitable, in general. 5%-20% on average. A 10% profit on $300,000 of revenue would mean they made $30k in profit.

My freshman History Professor, God rest his soul, spoke eloquently that the answer to most of historys critical issues was money. Why should athletics be any different in the NIL era. All things being equa or nearly equal perhaps a player wil stay where he or she has bonded. Perhaps someone wants to experience a different part of the country. perhaps she does not see SU as a title contender without Fair, perhaps she had an issue with coaching, other players, the weather, a significant other, who knows.

Looking at Twitter, wouldn't be surprised if Latham ends up at Tennessee

Yup. Folks need to understand the NIL game at the top women’s programs is just way different than everywhere else. It’s amazing we kept Dyaisha last year. She could have been starting for South Carolina.

Ouch. The portal taketh & giveth.

Time to find someone better.

I accept the short game. I'm curious about the long game. Long term, Fair is a beloved orange. She can return & be the next coach or mayor. Like McNabb, or any of the greats.

Latham, Brown, Copeland, et al, 20 years there is nothing. Maybe the long term is meaningless to these players? I don't know how to assign a value to it.

Dyaisha was loyal to FLJ who gave her a chance at Buffalo when she was an academic risk and teams were skeptical because of her height. Her respect and appreciation of FLJ is immense. Says alot about Dyaisha's character.
