Thanks for this, Bob.  Oregon State has been hemorrhaging talent for a while now, beginning with Destiny Slocum.  And now they lose four starters to transfer.  What is the reason for this?  Is it as simple as players discover they can't stand living in Corvallis when they have options?  Is it conflict with Rueck?  Is it something else entirely?  Losing Brown, Jones, Corrosdale and Kampschroeder at the same time just can't be a coincidence.

It will be oh so strange to see Yeany and Aaron playing for OSU.  I don't like these musical chairs.

I wonder the same thing.  Rueck is supposed to be a good guy and he has been a good coach, so why do so many transfer out?  System too rigid???  They have some talent still, and good frosh but I don't think they will be as good as they have been in recent years.  They lost too much and are now too young.

Scott Rueck is an excellent coach and an even greater human being.  The issues in Corvallis have little to do with the system.

All right then what are the issues that caused a transfer to Texas and two to Duke ?

Corosdale was a grad transfer (to Duk), so it's hard to glean much from a grad transfer particularly after she spent five years in the program. Brown, on the other hand, seemed genuinely unhappy on the court at times and was kind of a turnover machine. In the second half of last season, Mitrovic was getting a lot of Brown's minutes. Rueck's system has the posts doing a lot of interior screening for guards, so maybe she got tired of screening for von Oelhoffen? I think Brown wasn't a fit for Rueck's grind it out game plan.

I can't explain why Jones would transfer to Texas. Anyone who voluntarily signs up for Schaefer has a lot of growing up to do. LOL.

Rueck strikes me as having some Monty characteristics. He runs his system and if you don't like it, shrug. There's a lot of teeth gnashing on the OSU board these days, but I think some of the complainers are newbies who don't remember how bad OSU was before Rueck came in and saved the program.

FWIW, Beers looks like exactly what Rueck is looking for. It's going to really hurt to run into her picks. And Gardiner is really really skilled. I can't figure out why they couldn't sign a high quality guard to play with Von Oelhoffen, who is going to end up bringing the ball up. Oddly, OSU has a version of our problem, i.e. their most skilled and versatile offensive player is also the one who might end up playing out of position at the point.
