Bendu will be a great addition to the team. But Barnes was willing to have her go because she had the same problem Rueck had last year, lack of scoring. Defense is great but someone needs to score. I hope the a couple of the Frosh can step up and take care of the teams scoring needs, because it doesn't seem like much will be coming from Bendu. Barnes had no say in her entering the portal. There was no willing. Serious upgrade for us.

There was no willing. Serious upgrade for us. Of course Barnes "had a say". She can't force a player into a transfer, but she can certainly tell a player that the team is moving in a different direction and she sees no PT for her. Coaches have advised players to situations of running off players since the beginning of college athletics. No one knows the whole story of any transfer situation, but Barnes has been very vocal on using the portal and "exchanging" players.

Coaches bench players they are unhappy with. Yeaney’s starts and minutes do not suggest Barnes ran her off. She probably is fine with her leaving if she no longer wants to be there though.

You just have to listen to Barnes, look at players in the portal. Not all are bench sitters unhappy with their minutes or in "trouble" with their coaches. The portal is actually a way for coaches to "encourage" players to look elsewhere as they are now not punished for transfering the first time. Players transfer for lots of interrelated reasons and coaches giving input is one of them.

I fail to see how our gaining one individual via the portal is supposed to change anybody's mind about the portal in general. I thought it was one of the worst things the NCAA ever did when they first came out with it, thought it was an abomination each time we lost somebody, and didn't think anything positive about it when we signed somebody through it. LOL... "Yeaney has 4 years experience in the Big 10 and the PAC 12, and so has demonstrated she is capable of transitioning to our team. Nothing against Adams or Codding, but I feel much better about this than I did about either of them." Your quote just a few inches above seem to have a positive vibe??? Do you not read what is front of you? Did you not ever learn to look at words that have been placed together and discern what exactly they are saying? The comment about Yeaney was a comment about... Yeaney; the comment about the portal was a comment about... the portal. The two are not the same thing; Bendu Yeaney is not the portal, and the portal is not Bendu Yeaney. If my grandson came to visit me and was driving an Al Bundy car painted bright purple with lime green polka dots and lacking a muffler, I might be inclined to say something positive about him while simultaneously disparaging his ride of choice. Can you grasp that? I thought something positive about the individual but didn't think anything positive about what brought the individual here.

Positive about portal player joining is a positive about said process. They're intrinsically connected. We all may hate the portal in some ways, but know our teams will have to use it and want it to be a positive for our programs. But, your continued whining and lame "analogy" are equally shallow and meaningless. Go Beavs

So if somebody in what was once South Vietnam is positive about the current unified government of Vietnam, he is also positive about the process by which that took place - the conquering of the south and the bloodbath that took place?
If somebody had positive feelings about Donald Trump as president, he would also automatically have felt positive about the events of January 6, 2021, if they had somehow resulted in Trump remaining in office?
The end, if it makes you happy, always justifies the means? The end result, not the manner in which that result is achieved? That would seem to be what you're saying - positive about player is positive about process, automatically.
I would also point out that, for your positive / positive thing to be true, its opposite would have to be as well. If the Ducks recruited a high school kid who had committed 3 rapes in the second semester of his junior year, and somebody posted negative thoughts on that individual, then he would automatically harbor negative thoughts about the overall high school recruiting process as well. Not rational, is it? But just as rational as your positive / positive mantra.
I will leave it to others on this board to judge whose comments in this dialogue, starting with yours that began LOL, have been lame, shallow, and meaningless.

Immature whining always wins that contest. And you've been #1 with regard to the portal. Add your ludicrous (and wordy) analogies and your return to board polling/judgement as some meaningful way to be "right". Your #1 your #1 your #1 You win... but what? Ending with LOL

And on Bendu being quick/fast player. I don't know how you can tell who is the fastest unless you line everyone up and have a sprint contest. I think she's built like she can run through the proverbial brick wall though.
The thing I find I like the most about her so far is her tenacity. Watching her on defensive plays Bendu has no give up. When it seems like someone has her beat she will come from behind and strip the ball, block the shot, or grab the rebound when they blow the layup. It was the one thing I was not happy about Destiny's game. When Destiny got beat she would get so mad at herself that she didn't immediately give chase (I'm not saying it was every time, but it happened too much). I have yet to see Bendu get mentally beaten, she's always in the game doing her best.

She's in the category: - effing hate playing against her, especially guarding you... love having her as a teammate Those talented, athletic, tenacious "M effers" drive you crazy unless they're on your side.

Nice to read that Rueck was the 1st to contact Bendu once she declared for the portal. To have a player with her experience, and toughness on our roster, will be great for the rest of the young ones. Bendu has the credentials to teach what it takes to be a winner in the PAC-12. Great addition to OSU Program. Totally agree and what a great way to show a player that you are interested in them without being overly pushy.....SR to BY: "Hey Bendu, I’m really excited you’re in the portal. I want to call you tomorrow, do you want to have a conversation with us?"

Add your ludicrous (and wordy) analogies and your return to board polling/judgement as some meaningful way to be "right". Your #1 your #1 your #1 You win... but what? Ending with LOL Beginning with LOL. Well, you certainly told me! Pointed out that my analogies are ludicrous, without bothering to point out what exactly makes them ludicrous. Never expanding at all on your statement that positive thoughts about the person equate to positive thoughts about the process, never explaining how that can possibly be. No need for any of that I suppose. Just label someone who has a different viewpoint as immature, lame, shallow, meaningless, and an old curmudgeon. (You got that last one right anyway.) No need for logic or persuasive argument. After all, everyone on the board is wise enough to have a bumper sticker that reads, "rgeorge said it, I believe it, that settles it." By the way, in the context in which you wrote it, the correct spelling is 'you're', not your. That reminds me of a ludicrous, wordy analogy...

Really off the rails. We should be glad we got Her and act with a little humility toward one another. Thanks
