While its great that TVO has decided to stay (for now) it should concern everyone that three important pieces of next years team have decided to leave. Maybe its just that they are "weak" as some have said or its something else. We may never know. Kind of think that SR needs to evaluate the whole program as to why these three left and two other highly acclaimed recruits in the past couple of years.

My 13 year old daughter is an enthusiastic basketball player and Beaver fan who sees TVO as an inspiration after she took the floor last year and made a huge impact. My daughter got a photo with her after a game this year and planned on bringing it back to a game next year to get signed. I was dreading the possible portal announcement and am relieved to see this Twitter post. Way to go TVO!

Great news. A building block for the future. Just need to add a couple(few) complimentary pieces and we will be very competitive in a very competitive conference. Obviously the recruiting class added this fall will need to adjust to college basketball quickly.

This was really a nice surprise, particularly give her frustration late in the conference season. The transfers impact her more pretty much anyone given her role and career stage. It also sets the stage for helping draw in transfers as well as settle the incoming talent on their decision to come to OSU.
I think we can also put to rest the not caring theory tossed around here. I suspect she will now get a lot more grace with fans in any future rough stretches.

Talia just put the team on her back and said, "Let's Go!" Here is a leader Scott needs to make this team successful; things are about to take off. Thank you for stepping up, TVO. MB.

I don't know how team captains are chosen, but Talia just became the obvious choice for that role to my mind.

So write a letter Talia, address it to my wife, tell her Jones is going home, hope she has a nice life.

All I know is that this TVO fan is now an even bigger fan.

What a perfect message at the perfect time!
We needed to hear that after the events of the past few days, and TVO delivered.
Wonderful!

On the "why post this after she had already said she's looking forward to seeing the fans next year". Talia was moving out of the dorms to a new place and evidently people were having heart attacks all over the place. So she posted this to reaffirm her commitment and to stop any unnecessary deaths.

I think this is AJ's way of assuring us she'll be around next season.

Talia just put the team on her back and said, "Let's Go!" Here is a leader Scott needs to make this team successful; things are about to take off. Thank you for stepping up, TVO. MB. Talia is a great player but I don't think she is, or wants to be, the team's leader. Nothing wrong with that, it's very common for the lead scorer not to be the leader (Curry, Stewie). You can see it on the floor and I think it was probably the single biggest missing piece this season; lack of a vocal leader. Early season it looked like Taylor was but once she was out that void didn't get filled. You need an extension of the coach on the floor.

Will the mens and women's teams have to practice together just to get some 5 v 5 workouts? Two tea.s and can barely scrape together enough bodies to scrimmage, weird times. Luv the portal, NOT!!! It's going to ruin college sports!!! Already dismantling many teams..
