BASKETBALL: Grand Rapids Press Reports On GLIAC Transfers

Grand Rapids Press sports writer Brian VanOcthen is reporting on several transfers from Grand Valley State University's women's basketball program.

The headliner is All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference guard Emma Veach, a 5-foot-9 standout from Grand Haven. Veach, a sophomore last year, apparently is considering transferring to Hillsdale, Michigan Tech, Northern Kentucky and Lewis University (Ill.). There are two other players leaving the program, according to VanOchten's article: Maddie Burnett, a 5-foot-8 guard, and Paige Smith, a 5-foot-11 front court player.

Transfers, as wrote in an earlier article, can have a major impact. Transfers are experienced by all schools at one point or another (both leaving and coming in).

Also in the story is an issue that can be troublesome for a lot of schools (when a player wants to back out of a scholarship and commitment to a school to pursue other options.

The article is an interesting read and can be found here.
