relative to her playing time, when you bring in a transfer who figures to get much of that same playing time?

I can't imagine any coach recruiting a highly ranked player not telling the recruit, "Come here, and you'll play!" And I can't imagine a player who wants to play in the WNBA who does not want to be on the floor to show her skills.

Here are some dates: Draw your own conclusions as to cause and effect, or coincidence,

Jan. 5, 2017. Lili Thompson announces she's transferring to ND.

April 10, 2017 Patberg and Boley announce they are transferring from ND.

At that time, I can recall Mike posting here something along the lines of "don't worry about
Boley's transfer; somebody better is transferring in."

June 1, 2017, Jess Shepherd announces she is tranferring in to ND.

May 26, 2019 Sniezek announces she is transferring in to ND.

June 26, 2016. Jordan Nixon announces she is transferring from ND.

My conclusion: taking a transfer may be conter-productive.

Shepherd clearly turned out great. I have doubts about the others.
