Dirks -----> UNC.

So what! They've had players as talented or moreso in the past. Her going there is nothing special.
Does anyone know why she left PSU? I laugh at her going to a Final Four team as opposed to really making a BOLD move and going to help a different program get to the Final Four.

Her choice to make, not mine.

Maybe Carolina had a better master’s program or one that she could get into…than a dif program.

Not sure why she left so couldn’t answer that. But hopefully it wasn’t in the hopes that she’s going to start. The whole big fish little pond analogy comes to play she did great things on a Penn State team that wasn’t good. To go to a UNC team that stacked and lost in the final four so not sure what the end game will be there

Dirks -----> UNC.

Hmm… guess it did not hurt that Levy is the HC of the USA team and Dirks has been at the training camps this summer

Is this confirmed

Not officially. But I think someone knows something on these boards. The leaks on FanLax are fairly reliable. You've got some folks very close to the game on here. As far as Ms. Dirks, her status is quo, for now.

Ok, now Canopener's creepy comment is appropriate

Dirks has 3 years of eligibility left. A golden opportunity to revisit (with a lot more maturity as well as fist hand experience) a decision she made when she was 15, since she committed prior to the new guidelines. For her and her entire cohort, they get a “do-over” if they so desire. Makes perfect sense to me that she and many others will take this unique opportunity to re-evaluate. Some will go, some will stay, but a silver lining bought to them courtesy of covid 19.

Agreed! Most rising juniors commited very young. My daughter was barely 15. Their wants change over time and they realize it may be better fit somewhere else

In her first full season, which wasn't really full as the Big 10 decided to keep everything in house until the beginning of the Dance, Olivia Dirks racked up impressive stats across the stat line for playing only 13 games. Carolina would certainly gain from Olivia's all around skills--but especially on the draw. Dirks had 24 draw controls vs Northwestern over two games. Not too shabby against a team that made it to Final Four weekend. She also had 22 vs Rutgers over two games. Another Tournament team.

Sometimes kids transfer and it's a win/win - the prior coach & teammates are "ok" with the transfer and the transferring kid gets a new start. Sometimes we think that when kid "A" lands at a big name school it was the "dream" location, could be the 1st two on the transfer list didn't work. Sometimes we think that kids commit too early and "picked the wrong school", sometimes the other schools didn't recruit Kid A out of high school.

With regards to Dirks...I am hearing "Carolina Blue" unis.

Isn't Dirks a Sophomore? Masters Program???...

Sorry you are right, I didn't realise she was that young.

[LarryGamLax]

I had a good friend tell me, this morning, that she thinks the "Covid Season(2020)" gave a lot of student-athletes a chance at a
do-over as far as college selection goes. Many made their verbal commitments when they were young High Schoolers, and now they had time to reassess that decision. 2020 allowed them to do so. And when you think about it, it makes sense.

I still think a lot are Championship Chasing and that does not always work out.

came here to post the same thing, decorated attacker with 1 year remaining, & a lefty too if I am not mistaken

I wonder why? UNC already has a lefty in Sconone (sic?) and that other kid, No. 3, I think. Seems like her chances for big minutes -- like she enjoyed at Spiderland -- are limited. Maybe graduate programs? Wish her all the success in the world. I just don't know that I understand the allure of UNC.

I'll take the heat...Dumb choice. Graduate programs? Yeah, they only have those at UNC...and they just happened to be in this season's Final Four.
Yeah, 2 NCs in 25 years. That's as alluring as the Song of the Sirens! RUN!!
