Holy smokes, Arizona WBB just lost 4 players to the transfer portal!

Wow, looks like Adia has a problem on her hand with this mass exodus of players.

Really don't want to lose Clark. She has a big future and her defensive style is perfect for our system. Not surprised about the others because they just won't have an opportunity to play, especially with the solid incoming recruiting class.

As of now
Arizona's likely 2023-24 depth chart--
PG: Kailyn Gilbert // Jada Williams (frosh)
SG: Helena Pueyo
SF: Lauren Fields
PF: Esmery Martinez // Montaya Dew (frosh)
C: Maya Nnaji // Breya Cunningham (frosh)

the 3 frosh rank an average of #9 (Cunningham), #16 (Dew), & #17 (Williams)

Ware, Clark, and Hylton have Not announced or confirmed that they are leaving, so non of this is official as of yet.

Adia does have 3 McDonald's All-Americans coming in next season, so the Lady Cats should be OK.

I think some of the seniors are coming back and that is what triggered the transfers. Just my opinion  Esmereie (sp_ Helen Lauren Fields.

Paid Adia way too much way too quickly. I doubt she will ever reach the heights she did before she cashed in. But lets all hail the new One and Done machine for women and scrutinize it for the men's team when it really should be the opposite. Tommy is now unraveling with Miller's players finally mostly done and converting us into an undesirable Mid Major and Adia is trying to keep the Lady Cats relevant and top tier for the long haul.

Remember Gilbert did not play this year because of illness and she will be here with THREE ALL AMERICANS. Ware was a big surprise, but it is done.

Have not heard anything about players returning for the "extra" year, but Martinez could, Pueyo could (and I love Palma de Mallorca where she is from. They call  it the Hawaii of the Mediterranean), and Fields could. There will also be players in the portal availible.

The difference is that Women's All-Americans STAY for four years.  Men's OND players use the program as a stepping stone to the NBA and have NO plans to earn a degree.

Adia is finding high-level talent, which will build a program (not create a revolving door of selfishness).

We'll see if we can afford to keep them. Plenty of money in Women's College Basketball now.
