Excellent. Maybe she plans a 5th year in a related subject before med school. I don't think she transferred because of lack of playing time or NIL

Nivar is headed back to her home state, to a very good program at North Carolina State, that is close to home. Also very old news.

Emma-Nnopu transferring to a lesser program after graduating is explicable, as is Nivar's desire to play in front of family and friends. Of the three, only #1 recruit Betts stands out, really, and the catastrophe of losing three seems not as catastrophic as it once did. Surly we will miss each of them on the basketball court, but it no longer looks like a mass desertion. Each of the three seem to have had independent and very separate reasons for their decisions.
Of course, in an earlier era, the two who transferred before graduating would probably have stuck it out, and they may have been better off in the long run if they had. But players have no incentive to "stick it out" in today's game.
