Potential 2025-26 Roster

[CoopSwoop]

Just a freshman, Clara Silva, a 6’7” shot blocker from Portugal with good FG and FT %.Her 40 minute stats are very good. Transferring from Kentucky. Played every game but only limited minutes - 3 more years of eligibility left. Her 6’5” Kentucky teammate at Kentucky, Clara Strack who transferred to Ky from Va Tech is from Buffalo and their starting center. Imagine Silva is transferring to get more playing time with Strack just being a sophomore.

She choose TCU

 

[Dr. Bill]

She choose TCU

TCU has an incoming Freshman from Virginia/Tennessee, that Syracuse recruited and had on campus last Spring, that is 6-8!!! Now, they get a 6-7 post player!!!! Can you say...Twin Towers! See, this is what I don't understand and why money must be at play here: If you transfer from a program, where you didn't get much playing time, why transfer to a program, that is bringing in another player with your same skill set, and plays the same position? Syracuse is wide open in the post....come play here...if you think you can play!!!!

Portal insanity! Over 1100 players in, some of these are just crazy. USC Guard Avery Howell just played 36 mins in Elite 8 game as a Freshman and she just entered portal.

$$$$$$$

Hopefully coach has money to bring in some good players.

I wondered if we would seek more international players if we have nil limitations.

 

[CoopSwoop]

Would be decent guard pickup, from Queens and LUHI. Made all freshman team.

 

[AussieFan]

Word is the Syracuse are trying to recruit Lily Carmody from Butler. She's really good and went to high school with Maddy Potts, so there is a connection.

 

[CoopSwoop]

Another big expected in portal.View attachment 250390

Merkle committed to Maryland.

 

[AussieFan]

TCU have also signed 6-7 Australian Sarah Portlock. They are going to be very tall! Portlock is not D1 standard though, averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds at the recent Australian u20 Champs. She has represented Australia multiple times and just finished a 3 year scholarship at the COE but still looks lost on the court.

portal breakdown

nice report on portal players

 

[AussieFan]

Tess Heal, who played at Stanford this year after 2 years at Santa Clara would be a great get! Not sure who she is talking to.

 

[CoopSwoop]

Saw this coming before Koval committed, she was not going to get PT, LSU would just replace Morrow.

Wow her minutes plummeted from her 1st year to her 2nd at LSU and Mulkey.

6’6” tall, from the Bronx, poor shooter, good rebounder and very foul prone. Needs coaching and development- worth it at 6’6”.

Mulkey is not a good coach, she tears down player confidences. Look how much better HVL played this year. Velez is a prime example of lost confidence under Mulkey, she looked liked a "deer in headlights" on the court. She may not ever show her potential now.

[hoopsupstate]

The women have a lot of work to get done in the portal. If not, they will be near the bottom of the ACC.

She and Velez are very good friends, hopefully Velez can pull off an assist and bring her to Cuse.

Is Velez happy at the Cuse???? I wonder....

Coach believes in her, giving her a chance, more than she probably got from LSU

I can't stand her, but that's a stretch to say someone with her success is not a good coach. I'm sure her style isn't a good fit for everyone, but not a good coach? come on!

agreed. someone with 3 titles is a pretty good coach

She can be both a good coach,
and an absolutely turrible human being.

They are not mutually exclusive.

Exactly how I feel. Good comparison

Especially when you can do it at different places.
