So your thinking is Brown was completely blindsided and just found out from the staff that she doesn't have a scholarship for next year and now has to change her plans and is in the portal? Doubt it. These conversations don't just happen solely after the season is complete and not a minute before. Pretty sure her future with the program would have been discussed and she would have known where she stood prior to now.
That's not what I said. Maybe, as you intimate, the staff said 'we don't see you in our plans next season' a long time ago. So Jenna is just graduating and hoping to play somewhere else next season.
Maybe they said, we do see you in our plans and hope you can get admitted to a graduate program here.
BTW, do you think that "Admissions as a shield" is used in grad programs, too, as it was reportedly used by football with offered recruits that Stanford no longer wanted, especially under Harbs? [I assume, but don't know, coaching staffs can signal to Admissions how badly they want player for next season].
There are LOTS of possibilities - and my point is not all of them come up roses in terms of player contentment. And I don't think it's that controversial of a position . . . except on the Cardboard.
You may have missed that folks here are trying to explain why Jenna didn't participate in Senior Day, but then later entered the portal and participated in the banquet as a departing senior. That sequence of events gives the impression that her plans changed quickly.
I personally don't want to get into speculating on exactly why here, as I got the feeling from my brief conversation that she doesn't want to go into detail on it with fans. Of course there are lots of possibilities, including plenty that don't reflect badly on anyone.
It will be interesting to see who they use the 15th scholarship on. I said before, I think they could also grab a dynamic wing if an elite level PG is not available and do PG by committee again. One thing for sure is they do not need bigs.
I think it is a tad irresponsible to recklessly speculate that Jenna is still injured/not cleared unless you have some inside information you are sharing. One could further speculate as is the case many times with redshirts, once it becomes apparent that they will miss a substantial portion of the year, they decide to sit out the whole year so as not to use a year of eligibility for a few games. Seems a bit speculative to use senior night as an indicia of whether someone is coming back next year as well. I recall that Anna has attended 3 senior nights.
