It happens...


Miranda Elish is a big name example. The transfer portal is still new enough that we're really just now getting to the point where we may be seeing what the trend of the future is going to look like. Personally, I think that the portal has made it a little too easy to explore transfer potential. I would like to see a few tweaks that encourage people to finish what they've started, but prior to the portal, student-athletes really were dealing with an unhealthy balance of power... everything stacked on the side of the colleges. Al and Maddi were here during a softball culture change and did what they had to do for themselves. I hope nobody judges them for their decisions, but we shouldn't judge the new coach for their decisions either. The twins decommit doesn't count! If you counted decommit/transfer as in/out, the argument that double transfers are rare goes right out the window. I think we all hope Alexa stays, and maybe she is just exploiting a technicality to enable grad school discussions. When it comes right down to it, being on a team that is growing from the bottom half of the ACC towards the ultimate goal of being NCAA champs is going to come with a price. There isn't a girl on the team that wasn't a complete STUD wherever she came from. Now imagine being on a team where roughly 2 out of 3 watch from the bench or don't get to go on the road at all. I think the implication of the original post was that this (if it turns out to be anything) is a bad reflection on the program. I'll just say that I think things are a LOT more complicated than any of us fans really understand, so let's not try to pretend that we see the sophistocated angles.
