Transfer Portal

I believe Ohio State’s roster is now comprised of Wisconsin, Boston College, Clarkson, Boston College, Clarkson, Quinnipiac, Minnesota State, Boston College, Wisconsin, Penn State and Quinnipiac players

At this point OSU fans are cheering for just the school colors as they’ve got no investment in a lot of the team that’s parachuted in. A lot like Kentucky men’s basketball fans and their annual one-and-done roster turnovers. Definitely makes the Buckeyes more fun to beat!

Give it your best shot! LOL!
Bragging rights to be awarded at the end of next season.

I love the off season banter!

I'm retired with nothing better to do. At least being on forum gets me out of the wife's hair occasionally. (Big Grin)

It makes it even funnier if they don’t win a natty championship. The problem is gonna be, how is she going to keep everyone happy. There is a first line, second line, third line, fourth line…power play, 1&2. Many of these women were the top players on their previous teams and may have been line 1 and power play 1. Now they could be line 3 and not on power play. There may be some attitude…

Nothing is a given, look at last season but the Muzzinator is doing well on stacking the deck in her favor. I assume she'll roll 4 lines next season.
I'll bet her and other top coaches will be in Oxford this summer scouting the USA Development Camps at Miami University in Oxford Ohio. We're the closest program to that local. I'll be there there too, my son lives blocks from their arena and I want to take my 5 year old granddaughter to watch some of it. I got her a nice stick & gloves last Christmas!

Another bc player in the Portal...Maddie Crowley-Cahill. I believe that makes 4 departures for them now.

A defenseman, so The Yuckeyes probably have a need there...Might as well just sign on the dotted line for the muzzinator.

Roughly a month old but an interesting read anyway about how the transfer portal has affected Bemidji State.

Thanks for sharing.

My question may have been discussed before but for those who entered the portal and didn't get picked up by a new program, are they now pariah's without any team?

I suspect this may depend on the team/coach and the rest of the roster (i.e., is there still a spot for the player in question). I know PSU retained a player last year who entered the portal but wasn't picked up.

That's Carrie Byrnes, and she may have stayed with Penn State but she only played in 12 games last season, so you can draw your own conclusions about players who enter the portal and don't get picked up by a new team.

Thanks for clarifying! Not being familiar with all the rules of the portal I was wondering if once entered you couldn't go back like when declaiming for certain pro sports.

Well, we could use another defenseman. LOL!
