All you can say on a deal like this is adios. I don't wish them any personal bad will, but if we play them ....i hope we beat them and they dont score a point or get a rebound.

I miss the days when kids stuck it out and put the team above personal goals. ( like scoring, playing time etc..).

I laugh when i read kids saying " I love my time at ______ university and will always consider myself a _______, but I'm transferring to ________. "

WHAT A CROCK. Why not just say.. " Hey, I'm graduating and I want to put myself first and go somewhere where I can play, get better stats, win etc.... sorry teammates, this is about ME." At least be honest about it.

Jealousy is an ugly thing and has led to some poor decisions.

How do you know it is jealousy? What if it is other things?
I am not saying what it is...I don't know and there may be many reasons for leaving. One is graduation. But if they didn't get along with Carter because of whatever reason they decided to leave. Two people left with diplomas in hand
Maybe it just is that toxic of a situation and if it is a few people would leave as well

Dandy is correct, she has her Aggie ring and her A&M degree, but to many of us she will never be an Aggie. That would be sort of like the Bataan muster organizer defecting to Japan.

Completely selfish. Really sad that their parents couldn't help steer them in the right direction...

How do you know the parents aren't steering them in the right direction?

I work with Danni's dad and after a long discussion with him it appears that playing another year at A&M is not the right thing for her future. There are obviously some issues, so if she and her parents can't see them getting resolved then it may be time to move on. The important thing is she has her A&M degree and her Aggie ring!

I'm more sympathetic to Danni and her family than with Anriel, for a variety of reasons. One is that unlike Anriel's situation, Danni's role in the O is more directly affected by the touches she loses to Carter. I happen to think that this might have changed next year, but who knows now.

I'd be curious, though about whether the discussion of what's right for her future is WNBA related or in life outside WBB.

If I had been one of Danni's advisors, I would have talked to her and her parents about how Anriel leaving was an opportunity for her to be the senior leader of the team. Hard to imagine that Blair and the staff didn't do that... and maybe that's not a role she's comfortable taking on.

She would attack us with tiny trees? I think the word you were looking for is 'banzai'.

Williams has talked with Mississippi State, South Carolina, Louisville and UCLA, said her father.

Williams' family, residents of Clovis, N.M., have made an effort to attend a majority of A&M's home games during Williams' career. However, proximity to home isn't necessarily a top priority for her final season, Regan Williams said.

"Whether she was going to stay at A&M or go somewhere else is completely up to her," Regan Williams said. "We'll make it work on our side however we need to do it. I don't know that proximity is that important to Danni."

Returning starters just don't leave before their senior year unless there is an issue. There is not a playing time issue with these two so it obviously is something else. Both players are from out of state but why on God's Green Earth would Danni visit t.u.? I can, however, understand the respect issue. CC is potentially the best women's BBall player to ever wear the maroon and white and is soaking up all the love--and that can be a problem with other really good players like Danni and Lashes.

---

They will both be grad transfers. This could be anything from serious locker room or team chemistry issues to one or both wanting to pursue advanced degrees at a different school for a variety of reasons.

---

Or it could be something they don't like here that's unrelated to athletics.

Once she decided to look around, tu makes perfect sense for Danni. They're contender, they just graduated some key guards, and the drive for her parents would be basically the same or a bit shorter. We haven't played them in WBB since 2014, which was before she was on the team. As an A&M fan it's hard to take, but it's not like she grew up bleeding maroon.

And we have plenty of families with members who went to both. A lot of faculty kids here go to tu.

I've been more than impressed with Carter as a player - as a point guard not as much. She's got the ability, I'm hoping she develops the mindset. I'd rather have a point guard that plays like Sydney Colson, Jordan Jones, or Curtyce Knox.
