Transfer Portal

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.
 
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.
 
Yes . Crowley Cahill is in the portal. They all want out of BC. Team will not be good next year. Maybe the worst team they have had at BC in 20 years.
 
It seems like one and done on the transfers is becoming more and more common.

It's COVID years working their way through and out of 'the system'. This year and next, and it should largely done. Then the only available grad transfer "one and done" will be red shirts and medical hardships.
 
Rebecca Vanstone heads to Northeastern with one more year of eligibility, per the info available online. This would be because she missed almost all of this past season and, I believe, would not be eligible, as a graduate student, to play at Yale. She is a significant goal-scorer.

I'm not sure she would have eligibility at all for 2023-24.

Her freshman year was 2018-19. That would mean her five-year clock runs out as of 2022-23. And because she was at Yale and Yale didn't participate in the COVID year, she doesn't qualify for a COVID year extension or 'time out' of the five year clock. MAYBE she can count 20-21 as a 'red shirt' year and then qualify for a sixth year because of medical hardship for 22-23?

Yeah, she has no COVID year to use. So, I think she may be qualifying for an additional year because of hardship/injury.

But she would only qualify for that if the NCAA lets her count 20-21 as a 'red shirt' year. And I just don't know if the NCAA would do that. The idea was if you don't participate in 20-21, you get no 'consideration' for that year. I simply don't know which way they would treat it. Maybe they've softened up on the whole thing. It will be an interesting 'case'.

Many of the Ivy League players just didn't go to school at all that year, so it wouldn't count as anything. They stayed home, trained, and saved that year - knowing they wouldn't get it back.
