That is what someone told me. Haven’t seen it confirmed.

It was tweeted out by Natalie Heavren, who is a credible source covering A10 women's basketball so it appears to be solid info.
The roster next year is going to be so different with at least 4 departures of starters who play the majority of minutes. I certainly hope Mountain is reloading a cast to build around N. Melious and/or M.Jacobs.

Mia had commented during the year that is was nice to play with her sisters again. We could see all three go.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I hate the fucking portal. And I'm lukewarm on hating the NIL... and it's not necessarily because I don't want to see college athletes make some money.
I just know that it's going to turn college athletics into the cesspool that youth sports and high level high school sports have become. None of it is good.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I hate the fucking portal. This is great place for this conversation. I’m interested in whether you don’t like the flexibility this gives players or if it’s the literal concept of the portal. When they got rid of the year waiting period, the portal ensured that there was a system for coaches to talk to available players. Tampering still occurs. It needs to for kids to be sure they’re not going to get screwed by jumping in the portal, but either you don’t want kids to have the same flexibility as the coaches or you want them to have to make this decision blind. |

I will give you an extended answer after I get the kids to bed.

How are those kids still awake?
In other portal news, Natalie Heavren just tweeted that the three sisters are all in the portal now. Representing just shy of 41% of La Salle's scoring.

Build around Melious at this point. Let her break the all time leading women's scoring record (3527).

I don't know anything about how good she actually is...but if she is a scoring machine...you can make her the feature from the time she's a freshman and let her cook. |

Sucks that half the roster is in the portal. Hope some of them come back. |

I was messaged by another board member saying the Jacobs sisters and 5 other players were in the portal. I haven't had a chance to confirm, but that is a lot. I know their one recruit, Melious, is a scoring machine, but she can't do it all. Hopefully Mountain and Coach Day can keep a few of these players on the squad. |

If it truly is 8 players in the portal for the women's team, that would lead me to believe that something is wrong in that program. That's far too many players to enter the portal in one year without a coaching change. |
