Since Shauna has stated the emphasis is on maintaining the core players from this past season, I assume they have been well compensated. I am betting we hear more once the portal closes.

Good point. But I was wondering if we have the extra $$ to get another post player.
Two good questions. I don’t know who if any would be an improvement over Lety and Manuela. And Manuela is such an unknown especially coming off an injury that the 2nd question is impossible to answer at this time too. I’m hoping Manuela is a star and Lety is improved. If we don’t add anyone then I’m assuming Shauna’s satisfied with what we already have.

Whatever points that she scores is gravy. We just need for her to bang in the post and pull down a bunch of boards.
The portal has reached the final day. Will we finally hear about the updated roster? Stay tuned sports fans.
I don’t see Manuella getting more athletic. It’s a shame Catoria has not developed.
From Werner’s podcast with Shauna, sounded like Manu and Lety getting mins at 5. Cearah will also provide minutes. but sounded like a Cearah will also get mins at the 4. Berry can play at the 3.
At least gives the team flexibility in the lineup.
Will be interesting to see how Manu has recovered from injury. May take some time or the whole year to get back to normal.
Guyton we saw about half a year to recover from injury, Lety took almost the whole year. Hope they can keep progressing and develop.
Won’t lie I was Hoping for a bit more of a splash by now. Love the direction we are heading but need some help via transfers this coming year.

If you're wondering why they haven't been announcing returnees, it seems that the policy is that returning is expected to be the norm. They mentioned it on the most recent Light the I podcast. So no news is good news as far as retention goes.
A post from Lety. And yes. a low key approach for sure. There will be an opportunity to share news tomorrow at the team banquet sponsored by the Courtsiders.

Schools have 48 hours to process the paperwork. So all the entries could still take a couple days.
Is it possible to still transfer after the portal has closed? Is there a penalty for doing so?
Will we see you
at the banquet?I was as well. But I see 9 players who can contribute so that should be fine.
Destiny Divine Gretchen Berry Cearah Aaliyah Jasmine Maddie Manuella Lety. I count 10. There's still 3 spots to be filled. I'm still hoping one of those is going to be someone who can contribute. We could still use some help at the post position.
