I'm absolutely stunned by this.
As of last week, there were over 1,000 women's basketball players in the transfer portal [EDIT: As of a tweet Chantel Jennings sent on 4/12 there are 1,197 in the portal now. In 2019-20 609 entered the portal. In 2018-19 641 entered.]
Several schools like UMD and Kentucky have lost multiple starters. IMO fact that there are so many players who started at P5 schools available in the portal brings a new dimension to the offseason for Amy Williams and her coaches. Like any staff, I'm sure they'd like to help improve their team as much as possible for next season. At the same time, IMO the Huskers amazing chemistry was one of the things that helped last year's team win so many games. The Huskers will already be integrating two new freshman into the team next fall, you don't want to add players from the portal who could mess up what the Huskers already have.
