Hailey Van Lith just jumped into transfer portal ? Lexi going there? Possible - Lexi was my favorite and hope she does well!

Has she comitted to Indiana yet?
Van Lith or Donarski? Aren’t they both Insta followers of multiple IU players and staff, which we’re using as a leading indicator? I’m not being snarky here - this really is fascinating! I just wish it wasn’t two of our players being courted by others!

I am surprised that she has not picked a school yet since she was rated so high when she entered.
It could be the fact that school is still in session and she wants to wait until the school is over so she can take time to meet the coach(es) and see the campus.

But the question needs to be asked --- what's to stop players from talking with one another and saying "hey, let's get this super team together and basically pick a coach to do it."?
Is a program just going to clear out all its current scholarships players for 1 or 2 years of excellence? Who would commit to the program out of HS? It seems far too short sighted to actually make sense to any reasonable university.

THIS is the big question I’d ask as a parent. What ever happened to commitment on both sides?

Lots of variation in coaching staffs out there. I know a few athletes that have had injuries and the coaches of some of those programs have made their lives a living hell until they quit and some who have honored the scholarship even if it is a career ender.

Yes, it’s been done before. Cadwallader University. 1979.
