when is she allowed to join the team? Not for practices but I think it'd be a little gamesmanship to have her on our bench in street clothes when/if we face UConn in the tourney. She might be able to offer a little insight into something.

I'm pretty sure that NCAA rules will not allow her to sit on our bench, even in street clothes, until she is actually eligible to participate and play in a game. Now if a player was eligible to play, but was injured and couldn't play, then that would be a different story, and the player could be in street clothes on the bench.
I may be wrong on this, but won't she be able to play in January 2019, so "halfway" through next season, since she's a mid year transfer?
I seem to remember UT got a guy like this a few years ago. He transferred mid year and was eligible in January
She has to sit out the entire year next year.
And do we really want to do something to piss off UConn any more than they probably already are??? We don't need to motivate them any more than they already will be, if we do indeed face them.
She can be in the seats behind the bench (where a normal fan would be), but she can not be by the bench, or where any staff member or player is. I highly doubt that even if she was allowed to be on the bench (which she isn't according to NCAA rules) that would have any effect on Geno and how UConn would perform on the court. UConn hasn't won as many games as they have to let a player who has left their program upset and detract either the coach or their players from their goal of winning a game. Now a lesser program than UConn, then maybe it would.
