Of interest (at least to me) is that Micigan State, Sunday's opponent, has THREE transfers from within the B1G - Alisia Smith and Jayla James, both transfers from Penn State and Janai Crooms from Ohio State.
James is a 6'1" guard who only played 69 mins all of last year and averaged 0.2 ppg for PSU. She is a sophomore in eligibility. Smith is a 6'3" forward - originally from Lansing, MI - who averaged 21 mins, 6.1 points and 5 rebounds per game. She is a senior in eligibility.
Crooms transfered from Ohio State and is a 5'10" guard with junior eligibility. She started 10 games (early in the season) but for the whole season averaged 23.7 mins/game. In scoring she averaged 6.8 ppg and was second on the team with 107 assists for the season.
This would be unheard of before transfer rules were eased. They all started playing in December as did Doumbia for us.
