She has narrowed it down to 4 schools - USC, Colorado, Louisville, and Kentucky. If her very personal reason for leaving was to follow Arnold to USC, I would have thought she wouldn't be stretching it out - can't be a negotiating tactic to get more NIL money, as she stated her reasoning had nothing to do with NIL.
Can't be a family issue as I had speculated a few weeks ago, as every one of those schools is a very great distance from her home. (Also, none of them will be going to Maui, where she has a lot of family.) So no clue as to what precipitated her decision.
You suppose she'll announce her choice at the "banquet" next Thursday?

She's playing it up, that's for sure. The '15 min of fame' is getting longer by the day. |

Pretty rare to see a player post a “top-X” list while transferring…
I guess she’ll choose Colorado if she wants to have the ball in her hands a lot. That would be an interesting choice given everyone they’re losing.
If SC lands Iriafen they’ll definitely contend for a title, but she’d be second fiddle to Juju there.
At Kentucky she plays second fiddle to Amoore. They’re still on reconstruction mode.as far as roster goes, but their coach should be able to put a good roster together.
Louisville is pretty solid usually. Seems like Walz has using players taking advantage of the Covid year to build his roster recently.

Interesting "15 minutes of fame" comment. My guess is it must be kind of stressful and difficult to be in the portal. In Talia's case she has been associated with basketball, OSU basketball for the last 4 seasons, it's part of her identity. Now she's not associated with any septic team. Each team she named negotiates its own deal with each portal player they select. Those negotiations come down to numbers like playing time, impacts, size and fit in with the team needs. We've been lucky Kelsey, Sela, Bendu and Ellie Mack, all played specific roles on the team.

This is like watching your ex pick who she's going to date after she dumped you. Who cares.

I suspect that the list is just a negotiating tactic to get more NIL from USC. And just because she is transferring for other reasons doesn't mean she shouldn't try to get as much NIL money as possible.

She is a pure point guard as far as passing but she needs the athletes around her to help her because she doesnt have pure point guard speed. I can see why usc or colorado or anyone who can surround her with talent she can be a dangerous passer shooter

Wherever she goes, I won't pay any attention to her, that's for sure.
