Well the first big decision of the new ADs tenure is sooner than everyone thought.  
Had lots of players that could have returned. But likely will transfer now

Yikes! She will be missed. Good for her go get paid

[Blazer49]

Ouch.  Good for her, bad for us!

I think if Zach takes over, most players will stay. But this is Steve’s first big decision. He might want to go with his South Carolina connections here.

DAWN STALEY IS COMING TO TOWSON!  Come on Steve-O get her done!  Looking for the sarcasm button here can't seem to find one.  But it was fun to type.

Richardson was building something special here for sure.

So if you look at next year's team, they have a chance to be special, but a coaching change could be good or bad depending on who stays and who they bring in from the Portal.

The key is bringing back upcoming junior forward Alie Kubek and Tarriyonna Gary and upcoming senior guard Aleah Nelson (Cincinnati). Upcoming senior forward Rayne Tucker (JMU), upcoming senior forward Anissa Rivera (NC Central) and upcoming junior Kylie Kornegay-Lucas (Virginia) just arrived as transfers last season as did upcoming senior Ryann Evans (ECU). So the building blocks are Gary, Kubek, Nelson and Tucker (when healthy). Still could use more height up front. But if Zach Kancher doesn't get the job, a new coach is going to have to re-recruit the current players and immediately work on the Portal. It's unfortunate that this didn't happen two weeks ago and hopefully, they have a plan to get this done within the next two weeks.

Zach Kancher is an integral part of that program and I hope gets the job.
