Columbus is a big city? Never been. Is it worth visiting?
Even Austin doesn’t feel that big to me.
well if you look at each case individually its all pretty normal. starting with Avery skinner, the grad program she wanted to do was not offered at kentucky so she went to Baylor and played her 5th season there while getting the degree she wanted.
Fischer transfer made a lot of sense too, at the rate she was performing she was not going to see the floor at Kentucky - glad she turned it around at uga but she wasn't a 'top' player whatsoever when she left kentucky. she left for the purpose of playing time bs she was riding the bench at UK
then there's Madi skinner, she was very unhappy in Lexington and just didnt like the environment she was in - Austin is quite the contrast so it makes sense. she only took visits to schools in big cities when she entered the portal (LA, Columbus, Austin). she said herself she felt like she committed too early as a high schooler
and now rutherford who left a long heartfelt message on social media about her love for Kentucky and the program like two weeks ago. she put in her 4 years and now that her entire class will be gone in 2024, it makes sense she's ready to move on and went closer to home
saw people mention bell and Williams - not really 'top' players lol but bell left for her grad program that was not offered at UK after spending 4 years of undergrad there, same as Avery skinner. Williams left because she has sat the bench for 3 years and her best friends rutherford and tealer just graduated
none of its shady or a sign of anything bad going down in Lexington

Why does it feel like so many top players leave Kentucky?
