so it’s legitimate to wonder what kind of effect that has on them. And kids transfer for all kinds of different reasons; I have no idea if either of those two are the types to jump ship for a better program after just one (albeit miserable) season.
But I agree with you that they both have first hand knowledge that the team will be much more talented overall when the 3 prized transfers are eligible. Hopefully they are developing good relationships with the transfers too. So despite understanding you never know what’s really going on inside an 18 yr old kids head, I feel pretty good that Frank and Blackwell will stick around to play with the transfers next year. Dufficy and Dickson are proven D1 talents, and I think Mizzou fans will in particular be impressed with Dufficy. The post player from SC? Who knows. She had so little playing time it’s hard to say how much she will contribute. But at least she has the size, which has been sorely lacking on Coach RPs teams.
One caution I have about the 3 transfers, 2 of them are just 1 year rentals, I believe. That’s no way to build long term stability and excellence in a program, I’d much rather we get 2-3 great high school girls each year and have them grow in the program. But we clearly need a significant injection of high D1/SEC level talent just to make this program competitive again, so we can’t worry that 2 of the 3 are going to be one and done.
