Beers did an interview that does not line up with TVO's version. Beers left because her close friends on the team were leaving. TVO did an interview with some USC youtubers and gave multiple reasons for going to USC: better prep for the WNBA, Charter flights, better conditioning program, etc. With both Beers and TVO they made little or no mention of Coach Rueck. I suspect Coach may be disconnected from his players, and that he relies on assistant coaches to handle that aspect of the job. One assistant went with Beers to Oklahoma, and another former assistant recruited away Hunter. Coach could be vulnerable to more poaching in the future - WCC or not. I don't buy that 100% from Beers. Had she announced, both privately and publicly, that she intended to stay, and attempted to persuade those 'close friends' to do likewise, a lot of this might not have happened. Sounds like a convenient, after the fact attempt at making herself look better to me.

But I think she's trying to be nice and diplomatic with her comments more than trying to make herself look better. Again, I believe the WCC was a main factor in these decisions but probably not the only reason.

Also, regarding Beers and her friends on the team, each of the eight players are headed to a different school. Doesn't sound like a group of friends trying to stay together to me. The players themselves decided to break the roster apart.

Not sure why it hasn't been edited but if you look at the osubeavers.com website and look at the roster for women's basketball all 8 that have left are still listed on the roster. The former assistant has been removed however.

I just thought it weird they haven't been removed. Been through this before. That's the 23-24 roster. They will be on it forever. When the 24-25 roster is posted, they will be gone. The coaching roster has been updated to reflect the 24-25 season. No Jonas. osubeavers.com/sports/womens-basketball/coaches

TVO Is much more media savvy than any of the other players. Wonder if she gets from Dads NFL days. Regan communications shines during interview. They are both excellent interviews so the sports media loves them making for lots of content overlap. Month away from seasons end. Turns out the story is starting to fall back to earth 8 left. 8 leaving is no longer the narrative.

I think it's past time to move on. TVO seems to be saying in the article what she thinks should be said. She can put anything she wants to out there, but with her entering the portal in what seems like a heatbeat after appearing in the Elite 8, she very likely had planned to do so for a long time.
May she go and be well.
In the meantime, SR has a roster to build, so that the women's team doesn't experience the curse of making the Elite 8 one year, only to totally collapse the next season. I doubt that will happen given the change in conferences, together with his keen ability to find talent and fit, in some cases even in players who are overlooked by other teams.
