The portal opens in a few days, but some are already letting it be known they are going to enter the portal. A lot of talk on this board about needing a PG. Here's one who has already said she is going to enter the portal.
Kentucky's Sophomore PG 5'7" Jada Walker 12.9ppg, 3.1rpg 3.1apg. Played along side former duck Maddie Scheer this year. Chose Kentucky in 2020 over Michigan, Arizona, NC State and others. She's from Virginia, so I would expect her to stay back east, but I said that about Treasure Hunt who played at Kentucky last year, and transferred to Arizona State this season.

The only pickup we'll need is a big to replace Jelena. If SR goes to the portal for a Guard of any kind it is a clear vote of no confidence in his roster and ability to develop players. I already worry about the log jam at 2G that has developed adding another guard would be locker room poison.

If she stays is like to see Rueck getting a big out of the portal, if she leaves make it two bigs.

Seeing all the senior day things I'm assuming she's leaving.

She made sure to leave the door open by saying that she hadn't decided but wanted to celebrate senior day just in case she decides to leave.

I would imagine that Jelena is getting info about her basketball prospects in Europe. How much she is in demand. Who wants her, and for how much. I have no idea if she is considered a top prospect, a medium prospect - and at what level...Her height is a plus but her speed is not.
I deal with a lot of International students at the university level, and for MANY of them applying for, and gaining, citizenship is more important than almost anything else. If that is part of her goal (and her family's goal) another year in Corvallis may serve her long term plans very effectively.
I do not know her family situation - nor do I pretend to - but I do know that a lot of young adult Europeans are in no hurry to return - no hurry at all - they see a better future in North America than in mid- or Eastern Europe....
It's possible that for Jelena and her family basketball is a 3rd or even 4th priority in how they want to live out the 2020's..... GO BEAVS!!

Judge Smails has hit the transfer portal. I wonder if he is looking to get picked up by the Washington State board? Judge said "I am gone from Bennys House, I was looking for more posting time" . Werebeaver replied "Judge's posting here was not up to expectations, I don't think he will post any better on any other board" Sparty said "Let move on from Judge, don't want to here that name mentioned here anymore, we did not want him anyway, time to move on"

Comedy is not your thing.

Comedy is not your thing. Think what you want. I was just reading about a guy who tried to steal a catalytic converter and the car fell on him.
Needless to say he was exhausted and his cries were muffled.

I offer this advice in the spirit of friendship.

Meg Newman enters the portal. I think her hometown is in Indiana so maybe she will head that way, but I'm sure a number of Pac-12 teams will have interest. She probably wants to start somewhere, but she would be a solid backup with size for the Beavs.

Hopefully, that was you.

Starting tomorrow coaches can contact players in the portal and it remains open until May 11th. Interested in how this year's silly season is going to develop. It would be nice to be on the + side for once but we will have to wait and see.

She probably wants to start somewhere, but she would be a solid backup with size for the Beavs. She was definitely overrated in high school having seen her play many times. She was a natural power forward in HS but is the length of a Pac12 wing. So essentially an under sized forward or a slow guard.
