We just had our best season in a while, the future is looking bright and .. we're losing our best player. Who was only a freshman.  

Damn.

F' ing embarrassing. I can't stand the "oh you'll always be a Hoosier" BS. She can do what she wants, her life, but she isn't a Hoosier now.

I would imagine one of the top teams out there offered a bunch of money. I'm going to call this poaching

This is what the transfer portal and immediate eligibility will do to college athletics, unless you're considered one of the elites in a particular sport. Did you have an historically good year, with a player who had an historically good season? Say adios to that player, enjoy watching an already stacked program get even stronger and have fun rebuilding.

That was so confusing. Not that I don't have some super strong opinions on......softball.

Nope. Just chose Stanford.

She already announced when she entered the portal that she was not coming back. This screams home sickness as Cardinal is right down the street from where her family lives and she grew up in Bay Area. Also will play for a national power.
