Nobody is giving players reasons to leave. The players are aware of the WCC situation and NIL options or reasons specific to themselves such as playing time. As far as "prophesies" are concerned, it's mostly more like speculation based on what some people have said they have heard or actually seen reported. TVO has left. It has been reported by a journalist(s) that 3 to 6 players are weighing their options, There is a report out there that Hunter is going to enter the portal. Maybe Timea as well, though I can't remember if this was an actual report by a journalist or not. The possibility of portal transfers from the program is not just something that people on this board made up. TVO has not "left". May be leaving, but players do change their mind and decide to drop out of the portal. Great point. If her reason for leaving is to follow a boyfriend to another school (as has been shared here), those situations can quickly change as well.

Back to those in D1 who have actually entered the portal: Colorado has 6 players in the portal - 1 sophomore, 4 freshmen, and 1 redshirt freshman. As I recall, their rotation this year was very heavy on seniors and graduates using their last year of eligibility, was it not? The women's basketball team will need to replace about 70% of the roster. Is Deion Sanders coaching them too?

Has anyone actually seen Timea's name listed on any portal site? I understand that there are both public and private/coaches sites so fans may not have access to the "good stuff." Just thought I would throw that thought out there on a Sunday afternoon. Go Beavs!

Bring back a decent nucleus to build around in Vonleh, Wetta and Formann. I think Sadler can come back for a 5th season. But definitely losing Sherrod, Miller and Nolan will be felt.

I'm going to hope for no more announcements. People keep latching on to this follow the boyfriend crap like it's gospel. TVO has left the building. I know people want to hold out hope, but let's focus on the ones staying.

At this point, I think any source is just a guess. My daughter texted me yesterday stating that Dono was staying, Timea was entering the portal, and Raegan has been offered a substantial NIL deal (at OSU) and hasn't made up her mind. And Lily & Adlee will stay if Raegan stays. All this from a very inside source at OSU. My belief it could all be true as these players change their minds multiple times and it is just depends on when the information was obtained. Thanks for sharing this "sourced" insider info lotrader!---good stuff and fingers crossed hoping we can retain RB---that would be huge toward keeping other key pieces to this team and also big for helping attract portal talent to replace Timea, and good to hear that Dono is staying---hopefully our NIL came through solidly for her! It wouldn't surprise me if Timea's NIL offers were just too high for our NIL to match especially with them making high offers to retain RB and Dono! One key player you didn't menton was Dom---have you heard anything on her as she will be TVO's replacement for next year.

Hearing that a few girls have made their decision to transfer and are in the process of narrowing down their schools and investigating their best NIL opportunities. It seems as though some of it is potentially about money but that it also has to do with wanting to find a better fit for themselves and their skill set. Which of course seems crazy after this season but this particular style of play isn't for everybody.
Donovan would likely be best served playing for a team like LSU or South Carolina that plays with more pace because she's an athlete that can make plays in transition.
Lily would love to be getting more PT and more shots at a Utah.
Adlee is a no brainer, just hasn't been getting to show what she's capable of with such a limited role. Hearing Texas tech for her as a likely landing spot.
Beers and Gardiner can go anywhere so they will be the most interesting.
This could be a sad week for all of us, similar to when Smith did us dirty. I don't blame the girls but man it's a tough pill to swallow being relegated to a second tier athletic league...

The WCC is not the Pac-12 but it is certainly not a "second-tier" athletic league. BYU played in this league for a decade or so; its men's teams never won a championship and its women's team only won three. BYU has a far-superior MBB program than we do. The WCC has had at least one team in the NCAA men's Sweet 16 for the past nine seasons; it's had two championship-game appearances and five Elite-8 appearances. That far surpasses the performance of the Pac-12.
