[Gargoyle]

According to this site:

MD point guard Lexie Brown will transfer to Duke. Quid pro quo?
Looks like we have to start concentrating on bigs with our few remaining scholarships.

Well that's certainly a development. (https://mobile.twitter.com/Duke_WBB/status/610522790110826496?p=v)

Pretty good to get a third-team All-American as a transfer. Now does WBB have that same stupid sit-out rule as the men?

Yes. Brown will have two years of eligibility starting in 2016-2017.

This is big, excellent news! She's quite a player.

We'll be good this year, but the following is when we'll be really loaded. Mercedes is the only senior on the team. And then Oderah and Kendall will be the only seniors the year after that.

I imagine this gives us a laser focus on high school recruiting. Can't see bringing in more than one (maybe two) players this year.

Wow. Just wow.

Brown, Stevens, Greenwell and others may be our best class ever when there junior arrives.
Next year team will be very young but could go very deep in play by March.
