Hugely disappointing but with Williams coming in, there was a slight minutes crunch that had no easy solution, even trying to play everyone we would want to as much as we could. She can easily start somewhere else and play big minutes if she finds the right fit and I hope she does. Wish her nothing but the best.

Well, agree on wishing her the best. Her hustle and never giving up were huge in a bunch of games this year. Was looking forward to seeing her grow.

Sucky part of the portal. But this is what college sports has become.

Will definitely miss her, but Williams coming in and Hare returning were going to push her down the pecking order. Am sure she wants playing time...but as her sister found out...the grass isn't always greener. Wish her the best wherever she lands. She's the type of young lady that will have a positive impact on any team.

Have to think they bring in another player now.
Probably but it’s hard to find a good piece to fit that’s going to just bring depth.

We have our five - Audi, Addy, Jada, AJ and Hare. Then Harris, Williams will have to come off the bench. That’s 7. Then you assume Tanke and Reagan will get some minutes. 9. Just not a lot of minutes to go around anymore, which is what I’m assuming was the problem for Kelsey, especially competing with AJ and Hare for minutes which stinks for all 3 of them.

Not exactly sure.

Always a guess how people return off injury. Seen many not be the same. It’s a guess.

Enjoyed watching Kelsey play and the hustle she brought to the game. As this is the 2nd Joens' sister that has transferred out of the program, makes one question if we have any chance on landing the youngest sister when her time to enter college arrives.

With the addition of Jada, this shouldn't have cut into her playing time as Jada will play point. Someone else must be coming in as someone said earlier that they talked to her parents and she was happy here. Just a guess, no inside intel. I will miss her.
