Jessica Shepard transferring from Nebraska

[cyinne]

Do not want- pretty much everyone on the thread about her transferring on Husker Hoops Central is pretty much saying good riddance..... things about her being selfish, unwilling to put in extra work, one of main reasons Yori and Romeo not being there anymore. Someone posted something to the effect of "her being the highest rated recruit ever to come and leaving 2 years in and being the most loathed."

Yikes.

Apparently it has been confirmed by a tv station in Lincoln that Ms. Shepard was trying to shop around for a different school during the basketball season. Holy cow.... she has checked out a long time ago- goes to show that she really didn't give 2 ***** about her team.

Perhaps it's the Runza's that are the problem here. No Runza's in Ames...right.

holy **** youre right.

wanna start a business with me?

Runza official fast food of Outer Nebraskagolia.

Runza with Pepperjack cheese and Peppered Bacon...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Nothing like Temperature Tuesdays in winter where the price of a Runza is determined by the air temperature at 6 AM...sometimes it's free (as long as you also get a drink/fries).

Back to the original topic...she would not last at UCONN or ISU (Bill would have a field day with her).

Shepard transferring to Notre Dame:

Wow, wasn't expecting her to end up at one of the top WBB schools in the country. Opportunity for her is huge if she gets in shape and gets herself right attitude wise.

Wow. You're right - probably the second-best NCAA women's bball program. Doubt that Muffet is going to put up with much. Also, ND is up-tempo, plays man-to-man D and has tons of athletes to do it. Shepard will have to be in shape.

This has all the makings of a spectacular flame out.

Yeah, the more I think about the more I am all =

No Runza's in South Bend...she has a chance.

Meh. To me this demonstrates Muffet's desperation to beat Geno. She ran her mouth a lot last year preseason, and didn't deliver. Also shows how desperate all coaches are for quality bigs these days.

I hope it works out for her. I really do. But, whether the necessary changes can be made is open for debate. Personally, I think she is headed for role player duty with an occasional yet infrequent good showing.

Nebraska women's and men's basketball both headed for the shi**er for a few years, it appears. Lots of players leaving from both programs.

Jessica Shepard was granted a waiver to play immediately. What BS. Gosh, what ISU could do this year if Middleton could play right away....Must be nice to be Irish.

Let me get this straight. She chases her head coach out of town and then is granted a waiver to transfer by the NCAA? Did the Nebraska coach give her something in writing that she wasn't welcome on the team anymore? If so, how is that grounds for a waiver? Didn't ISU MBB have a couple of players who were told that it was best if they found somewhere else to play? I don't remember any of them getting a free pass from the NCAA.

NCAApocrisy at its finest.

Best part of the article:

Although the waiver is helping the Irish this season, McGraw said she doesn't want to see women's basketball have a one-time transfer exception -- where anyone can transfer once without sitting out -- as exists in NCAA Division I sports except for football (bowl subdivision), men's and women's hoops, baseball and men's ice hockey.

"I hope not," McGraw said. "Because with 400 transfers this year, and then to say it's an open gate and you can play right away? I think there would be at least double that. It's really hard on the teams that lose people. It takes two years to recover from it, and it puts you in a tough situation trying to fill out a roster."

I don't like the rule unless it benefits me is what she is really saying. I think if a waiver is granted, the NCAA should be required to explain it's decision, and "personal reasons" should not be an option.

Agree what a bunch of hypocritical BS she is spouting.

The junior forward didn't go into specifics of what her waiver said except to say that "it was an accumulation of personal reasons and different things like that."

That seems like it would apply to literally every transfer.
