We would need to come up with a couple of hundred thousand more for Fats to stay. Given her production last year, she is going to get paid well by someone. Nothing personal, this is just college basketball. It kind of sucks.

I understand that for sure; however, she already has a do not contact tag which means she's already found her new home (or she's staying but she's doing this for more money which is also understandable). If she's truly leaving, we have a coach that cannot hold on to talent, and she just has got to go.

It means year 5 and we will continue to lose. I can't blame her, but I'm absolutely shocked. She was the vocal leader of this team and it looked like she had a great relationship with the staff.

Hopefully she lands on a winning team with a competent coach

That's the 16th Joni Taylor Aggie player to enter the portal during her tenure

Only a handful have transferred to tournament teams.

It's a phenomenon taking place right now, it seems almost everyone with an agent or represented by an agency is going into the portal. Thankfully for us we don't have many players who are good enough to have an agent. However one of the biggest agencies who have recently been signing people the past month or so and most seem to enter the portal is Fam Sports Empire. They also signed Janae Kent last month

Here's a good list organized by conference. They're jumping in faster than the list can be updated bc Fats isn't listed, yet. Lots of big names getting in this morning.

Coach is dead man walking. Players need to get their money.

Program is dead man walking. I don't blame the players at all.

Friendships and sisterhood are fun and all but at the end of the day these girls want to win and want to play meaningful basketball in March… these girls dream of March Madness, not the nit

Kevoka is in the portal. I can understand that one. She didn't play much and looked miserable on the sidelines.

Well Tenn Lady Vols lost their entire team - I think they have 1 left....with all the coaches on the merry go round the trans portal will stay loaded......that's how they negotiate their NIL worth.

Saw a post that LSU was looking more into Fats Janneh

Could see how she fits into Mulkey's style, but don't think she's fit in with that lineup… and starting or a lot of minutes won't be guaranteed. We'll see if she wants to be on a legitimate title contender and sacrifice those things or if she makes a lateral move to a place that will pay her

Wish her the best but couldn't care less where she ends up. Loyalty is dead. And I don't even blame her.

Players are for sale. Everyone knew that NIL would produce this result. When do most donors figure out that they are fools for funding this clown show and walk away?

You mean the same clowns that used to pay under the table???

She's currently on a visit to Tennessee

I suppose she sees a team which had zero players on the roster a few weeks ago, a coach nobody wants, a team who lost 8 in a row to end the season as a better situation than playing for Joni Taylor

Somehow they'll potentially take our best returning player and from them we get a career 22% three point shooter who averaged 1 point per game and couldn't get minutes on one of Tennessee's worst teams in history in an offense that subs hockey style

Although I think her athleticism and motor would fit well in that system, I was hoping she land on a more stable team with better coaching

She can chase whatever she wants for her senior year and there are like 350 D-1 options. She could chase stability, winning, $, academic program, etc. it is whatever she values the most.

Seems like she is just chasing $. If she wanted something else there are tons of teams with more than 0 players.

Another nail in the coffin of college sports. Just do not care for any athlete anymore. No Aggie network applies

If Janiah had stayed at UCLA she would have had a national championship ring right now. That's not saying much for Joanie's program for Fats to go to the wreckage that is UTenn. Must have been a helluva NIL deal.

To lose a star player to another SEC team is unacceptable. I just don't understand how we keep doing the same things and expect a different result!
