On Purduesports.com they announced the team has added a guard transferring from Arkansas who will have 2 years to play. Was a four star from ING academy a couple of years ago and I thought it said she would be eligible immediately

5'9" guard Rokia Doumbia from Ark comes in as a junior with two years remaining. Appears the 4 star can play right away. Versyp now has 16 listed players which will have to change due to numbers, but depth will not be a problem at all it appears. Stallings is prob not on scholarship so must be 15.
13 players listed on Athletic Dept web site, plus three recruits for 2020 = 16, but Stallings has not been on scholarship since entering Purdue, so at the limit of 15. Moore and Doumbia are transfers who will have to sit out unless NCAA changes the transfer rule, which looks doubtful at this point in time, given the pushback from multiple MBB coaches. They will be counted as scholarships even if they do not play in 2020 so the roster is at 17 scholarship players. Something has to give!
So one player would have to leave? But I
Think those players will have to sit out
I believe Leony Boudreau has retired from playing, guessing that she's no longer on a basketball scholarship, probably an academic one.
My understanding is that Farquhar may not be ready.. it was a pretty significant injury but she's probably a starter in place of Layden imho if she is healthyI think Farquhar starts if she's healthy. Is she not expected to be ready by the beginning of the season?
I'm hoping Layden is good enough to start right away but the doesn't seem to happen much for freshmen under Versyp.
Depends a lot on how good Layden looks in early scrimmages and practices.. but she was arguably the best player in Indiana HS last year.. but you're right I said the same thing about Woltman last year and she didn't play much as a freshman.I think Farquhar starts if she's healthy. Is she not expected to be ready by the beginning of the season?

Not certain, I do believe it has been announced she's done as a player, she very well still could have a hoops scholarship, I was just pointing out a scenario where maybe she has another option. If she is still on a scholarship for basketball there's probably a scenario where another player is leaving, a few girls didn't play many minutes last year, wouldn't be a shock to see 1 leave.Is that Leony's choice or the coaches? Are you certain that she is now on an academic scholarship. She is not only an out of state student, but she is an out of country student.

Thanks, I guessed correct, first time for everything I suppose! Thanks for the find.Found this note Leony's roster profile and there is a note that she has retired after missing two seasons because of injury.
• After playing one game in 2018-19, has missed two seasons due to injury
• Retired from playing after the 2019-20 campaign
Like Jay Simpson or Nora Kiesler, who both had their basketball careers cut short by injury, Leony will have moved from an athletic scholarship to an academic scholarship and will not be counted as an active team roster member for the 2020-21 season.
She's a very impressive young lady, Purdue is lucky to have her!In this case for sure she qualifies for an academic scholarship as she is an extremely bright young lady and could received an academic scholarship on her own most anywhere. I wish her the very besy.
