    I am not saying this is not true.
    But, I would be stunned if it is.

    Sucks but not shocking, given the coaching change and some of the volleyball first schools throwing money we can’t match.

    I feel like this late in the cycle, the teams that may interest her may not have the $$$ freed up.
    She's not going to West Virginia even if they offer her the most.

    I know absolutely nothing about this situation, but "late in the cycle" is really only applicable if communications haven't already taken place.

    Go GATORS!

    I just don't hold bad feelings against players who leave Florida. We get a ton of transfers from other schools, so it evens out. It's a free market now and I can't/won't assign blame to a person who is trying to do what's best for themselves. Coaches have always been able to leave for more money and nobody gets upset. Why should players be any different? The players are the ones actually putting on the shows that bring in the money.
    P.S. - I HATE the NIL mess, the portal and all of that. I long for a return to the days when players signed a scholarship agreement and stayed until they got their degree and/or used up their eligibility. Sadly, those days are long gone. It just ain't the world we live in anymore, so I just pull for the players we've gotten out of high school and those that transfer in from other places and wish those who decide to leave nothing but the best.

    the problem is so few, if any, say it is about the money, which in almost every case it is, be honest

    Actually, her post says nothing about the portal, just moving on to another chapter.
    Maybe she is going pro.We can only hope.
