I posted in this thread yesterday without realizing Maatoug was in the portal. Given that situation, none of what I wrote applies, other than if she leaves Duke it might be due to disillusionment with the sudden coaching change. Dutch juniors compete for local clubs year after year under the same coaches. They are accustomed to loyalty and familiarity and not changes on a whim.
Also perhaps there are NIL considerations. I don't know enough about that, or how good you have to be in track and field to get a slice.
I won't be surprised if it's North Carolina State. Duke graduation ceremony is May 12 so I wouldn't expect an announcement before then.
NIL shouldn’t be a factor since she’s Dutch and presently can’t receive any NIL $ under the rules. That’s my understanding of it anyway.
