Losing Latham Hurt! Why? She was an  important building block for the growth of this team over the next few years. In the current "Transfer Portal" environment, building a team, will be an every year project! In the old days, players transferred for many reasons, but playing time and relationship with the coaching staff were key reasons. Now, those two things can be in place, but there is another factor that trumps these traditional obstacles, and that is Money...NIL cash! Today, players are hunting for the best deals...Can we really blame them, when they see other players getting paid big money, buying $100,000 cars as college students? Not saying Latham left for more money, I don't know why she left, but on the surface, Syracuse seemed to offer everything she needed to develop as a player as well as a person. We had all better get used to this kind of scenario because recruiting, now has three  phases: 
1)Recruiting High School talent
2) Re-recruting your existing talent to keep them on the team
3) Recruiting the transfer portal to rplace talent that you lost

Welcome to the new era of College Sports
