Or at least burnt orange. Is there anyone who really likes burnt orange? It’s always the sharpest crayon in the box. The irony is strong here...

Burnt orange is ok. Not my favorite but unique enough that when I see it I think "Texas".
And it's flattering for some skin tones so there is that.

Another player is headed out of Chapel Hill as Sydney Fields has asked for her release and will begin looking at new schools. Borup is actually not having trouble finding schools as she is scheduled to take visits after the dead period this week. Carlton is currently doing phone calls and beginning to make plans to visit campuses. The change of staff has caused concerns with the training regiment sparking a mass exodus of sorts. I think UNC whether people agree or not are going to struggle, it is hard to replace Scoles, Leath, Borup, Carlton and Fields esp with Nordhorn and Fricano graduating. The top of the ACC is only getting stronger with Pitt, Louisville, NC State, Miami, and Florida State making tremendous leaps in their programs.

Is this worse than the Tennessee transferama a few years ago?

I'm surprised, if for no other reason than Fields played in the Spring tournament just a few days ago.
Until this year, UNC had virtually no history of players ever transferring out. They've had players transfer in, but I can't even think of any players who left to play somewhere else. It's weird that it would be such a huge cluster of them.
I suppose it means that several of the remaining UNC players will get the opportunity to prove themselves.

If true, this situation is just getting worse and worse for UNC.
Wondering if she’s wanting to come back home to Texas because Baylor could certainly use a middle of her caliber.

I think I've asked this before, but should we be concerned about the large exodus of players transferring out of UNC? Is there some issue that needs to be addressed? Or is this just a continuation of the bad luck that plagued the team in 2017?

Anything is possible. She is the older sister of 2019 Texas commit, Skylar Fields. Believe she played on the right side her redshirt freshman season; has two years of eligibility remaining.

On the bright side they have a setter transfer in and a very talented 2018 class! It will be a total reset but they have some nice (but young) players to reset with.

Sydnye played in the middle her redshirt freshman year and set the long standing UNC record for block assists in a single match. She moved to the right side last season but was in and out with health issues. I’ve actually known the Fields sisters for quite some time, and she seemed to be so passionate about UNC, especially with academics. She was actually committed to LSU before but ended up switching to UNC. If she actually is transferring, it must’ve taken a lot for her to make that decision.

Fields set the UNC match record for blocks against Duke 2 years ago, but then was in and out of the lineup at least partly because her offense was not consistent. The next season, she was starting to become a force as a hitter early in conference play when she had some physical problems that essentially put her out for the rest of the season. She mostly played middle, but last year was playing more on the right side. Consistency's been a bit of an issue for her, both physical and play wise, but when healthy she can definitely impact matches.
It's never a good thing to lose 8 non-graduating players, especially when every one of those players got regular time on the court. I think some of the individual reasons are different, but it may be less why players are leaving, than why aren't they staying. I do think the issue for Tennessee in 2011 was that Rob Patrick was what some call an "old school" sort of coach which means that he could be negative with players and would yell at his team at times. I wouldn't say that Sagula has never yelled at a player, but he has a reputation as a guy who looks out for best interests of his players on and off the court. In other words, whatever the reason, I doubt it's the same reason players left Tennessee in 2011.

From what I have seen and my experience watching some practices, Joe is a great coach. He cares about his players but he does not take excuses or crap either. Mike and Susan seem to be the same way. Eve and Tyler were more laid back and more of a new style of coaching that was more player oriented. Neither is bad but changing styles can have an effect. I’m surprised Fields was granted release given her health issues and she was very focused on her program at UNC. That one is a little surprising.
However, Borup and Carlton have both contacted schools. And they have had issues finding a new home....not sure why but I know one school I have contact with in the Midwest turned one of them down because of being a fit. I hope they all find good new homes but it’s not as easy as they thought. Definitely a big time reset with a talented 2018 class and transfers.
