But this happened under Bjork with Evans, Childress, and Blair. I think Corbelli was on her last year in her contract when she resigned under Woodward. Seems more of an institutional approach.

---

If Bjork were still here, I'd agree but I'm not sure we can attribute past actions to Trev and how he'd like to run things.

The fact that he hasn't extended G past next year seems like a pretty clear indication but who knows.

Returning players as of this moment, thought we'd keep a compiled list as we navigate the portal. Obviously some of these girls may enter the portal.
* = returning starter
+ = addition

* Sydney Fuller - Goalie
Maysen Veronda - Goalie

Bella James - Defender
* Adysen Armenta - Defender
* Carolyn Calzada - Defender
* Margo Matula - Defender
Mary Claire Torn - Defender
+ Tessa Marie Arreola - Defender
+ Riley Crooks - Defender
+ Lucy Landherr - Defender


* Sydney Becerra - Middle
* Grace Ivey - Middle
Reese Rupe - Middle
Leah Pirro - Middle
Kat Campbell - Middle
Ella Goodwin - Middle
Quinn Cornog - Middle

Shea O'Rourke - Forward
Emma Yolinsky- Forward
Kennedy Clarke - Forward
Eloise Descheneaux - Forward
Taylor Jernigan - Forward
Emma Hoang - Forward
+ Bailey Cate - Forward
+ Holly Storer - Forward

That's a roster of 25 girls. The on out portal activity has been the subtraction of Georgia Leb. I'm sure we'll lose some more and also add some

Also of note, Ella Goodwin and Kennedy Clarke made a tiktok video asking why the portal was taking all their best friends away lol

My not-too-specific early transfer portal thought is "whole lot of SEC players".

Yet only 9 SEC players have made it public… there's a lot more to come

Thanks for the "+/*" roster, hopefully we can keep it updated while the portal is still open (until Dec 17).

And for posting tweets since I cannot get them myself.

We're all in this rollercoaster together

Aggies helping Aggies. That's our culture.

Some coach on The Tik toker is saying he expects 750 to 1000 players to enter the portal

I appreciate you compiling that roster listing.

I see that you have Jernigan listed as a returning starter. Of note, Jernigan started 4 games this year (1 of last 7 games) and Kat Campbell started 3 games (3 of last 4 games).

I wouldn't really list either of the two as a "returning starter" though given the full season but definitely significant regular contributors. They are both in a similar positions though in that regard.

Agreed! I was going off eye test as Jernigan was always in early, I assumed she started more!

Oh, a lot of those little asterisks are wrong...

Did those girls not end the season a starter?

Or will they not be returning lol?

Ivey, Fuller, Armenta, Matula, Becerra, and Calzada. I put asterisks on these cause they started the last game of the season

is Stacey Spatula staying?

I'm looking forward to seeing if the ones entering the portal will receive offers from the big Power 4 schools or have they lost some luster playing for us.

she announced she's done with soccer, but no word on her little sister Spargo Spatula

Very quiet on the portal front

That's what I'm afraid of, I suppose there's no rush to make it public, especially if the top teams are all still playing and that's the most likely destination!! I expect to lose girls, but I don't think I'm ready for it all to unfold

It has been months since I read about it but what I recall is that when a player wants to enter the portal she has to tell her coach (probably in writing) and her coach does it. The player can publicize it (in several ways) if she wants to but I do not know if the coach can if the player does not want it publicized.

I will not be surprised if a lot of our girls leave. If a lot do it will suck all around but it will surely send a yuge PUBLIC signal to the admins who have ignored the issue for years!

I think now they don't even have to warn the coach, they can go straight to compliance and enter the portal

You are probably right and this would be the best and easiest way.

When whatever happens happens and it all comes out my comment about the YUGE signal it sends still stands.

Like clockwork, im sure come August G will say this is the most talented team he's ever put on a pitch

No, his finishers and strikers will be injured and the next year they will be ready.

---

He will have his forwards, but his defense transferred out so we will lose 5-1 instead of 2-0 every game

sounds like it's already happened

NCAA Division I women's soccer transfer portal is open from Monday, November 18, 2024 through Tuesday, December 17, 2024.

I agree with you. I think the money for the buyout is the issue. TA has talked about money issues with the coming of profit sharing in July.

Been sitting back, reading the comments, and hearing what is happening.
My analysis:

• TA is negligent for letting things get to the point they are with this program
• G is being selfish for not retiring

Reasons:

• Watching the games this season, we all know an overall to the program is needed (new coaching philosophy, influx of talent)
• Forcing Phil to retire does not solve the on field nor off field issues
• The players who played significant roles last year going into the portal makes sense for both them (why be apart of a rebuild) and the program (we need better talent)

Conclusion: Letting a lame duck coach/gm in any sport start year 1 of a rebuild is the biggest mismanagement in sports. Either TA or G need to realize this and figure out a respectable way for the program to move forward and reboot.

It won't be a rebuild till a change in leadership happens…next year is just another year in decline
