Penn State: Maria Auth (#1 player on team)- reported by team statement. Nothing about other players.
Syracuse: returning 10 of 11 seniors. Team roster size for next year is 45 players. Great for seniors, but not sure how the rest of the team feels about this. If this is a one time event, Syracuse class of 2021 players never get a chance to be the leaders of the team.
Maryland: no info

Georgetown: Natalia Lynch (#1 player on team) - reported by team. Nothing about other players
Virginia Tech: Angie Benson, Taylor Caskey, Kendall Welch, Mary Clare McCarthy (top 4 of 7 seniors, all starters, but remaining 3 seniors who aren't coming back never started a game)
Ohio State: Kelsey Reed (JMU), Mary Kate Bonanni (Cornell). no mention yet of current players staying.
Northwestern: Sammy Mueller (transfer from Virginia- 2nd team All-American). no mention yet of current players staying.
U Conn: Alyssa Conklin (team captain, defender)
Loyola: Holly Lloyd (starter attack), Meaghan Quinn (starter, defender). Took 2 of 3 seniors. The senior who isn't returning never started a game.
Stony Brook: Ally Kennedy (#1 player on team), Kylie Ohlmiller (#2 player on team). Kaeli Huff (transfer from USC- starter #5 on team)
Duke: Gabby Rosenzweig (transfer from Penn- honorable mention All-American) no mention yet of current players staying.

Of course, the information is limited and incomplete. But so far, it doesn't look very egalitarian to me.
What specific news have you heard?



You cannot be this dense. Of course the players who were on the field the most are more likely to elect to come back for a fifth year than a player who did not play as much. You are also more likely to hear about the impact players coming back than some of the others . You were given a list of 7 teams in which all seniors were given the option to return and chose to ignore it . Again you cannot name one team where only some seniors were asked to return while others were not .i have spoken with many parents of players on teams and all have stated that all seniors were told they can return if they elect to do so , some programs have told them they will fund their existing scholarship others have said no scholarship . Not sure of what your motivation is to try and make all these coaches seem as if they don’t develop a relationship with their players and only care about winning but it’s just not the case .


So, if the coaches were so concerned with their player relationships and didn't care about winning, why bring in big time transfers?



That’s the best you got . Where did anyone say they don’t care about winning ? The coaches voiced their opinion in regard to bringing the seniors back,the vast majority of them in favor of allowing the 5th year. From the coaches point of view it makes their jobs more difficult but they realized it was in the best interest of the seniors to give them the option. As far as the big time transfers I am sure the coaches that had players leave wanted them back but again allowing 5th year transfers to occur was again in the players best interests . As far as the coaches who have a transfer coming in I assume you feel playing time should be equal for all players but that’s just not the way life or collegiate sports work , teams bring in transfers every year.
