CTM used the portal last year and expectations are she will again this year so I've started a new thread devoted to the women's program. Lafayette’s Makayla Andrews (5'10" G) has entered the transfer portal, per source. This season the senior averaged 13.2 ppg and 5 rpg this season. 42% FG; 22% on 3s; 78% FT. Over her 102 game career: 11.5p; 5.2r. 42% FG; 24% on 3s; 79% FT. Talia Goodman @goodmansport also does a good job of keeping up with women's portal news.

WARNING! Do not read this story if seeing Dusty May's name mentioned will make you break down into uncontrollable sobbing. https://247sports.com/college/indiana/longformarticle/louisville-coaching-candidates-kenny-payne-fired-louisville-mick-cronin-scott-drew-dusty-may-sean-miller-eric-musselman-jerome-tang-will-wade-223164062/#2327348

Rabby referenced this as well noting Rice, Carlyle and Jake Newton all know each other from their high school days in GA.

On the heels of receiving an offer from Maryland we jumped in with an offer of our own. Haralson attends Fishers HS in Fishers, IN and played AAU for Team Teague. Considering he's just a high school freshman, there's not much out there about him other than a general consensus that he's really good at basketball.

Malachi Moreno 6'11" attends Great Crossing HS in Georgetown, KY. Played AAU for 16U Indiana Elite on the Adidas circuit. @malachimoreno24 247 Hudl Gms Pts FG% 3P% FT% Reb Ast TO Stl Blk 22 AAU 14 8.6 54% 30% 55% 6.1 0.9 0.8 0.5 1.2

Marcus Helton reporting we offered 6'7" Khani Rooths who attends Georgetown Prep in Rockville, MD. Helton is Editor-in-Chief of DC-area site https://www.dmvelite.com/ He played AAU for New World on the Adidas circuit. The '24 class isn't yet ranked by 247 or Rivals and he's not on ESPN's Top 25 in that class. He has no page on Rivals or a stats page on MaxPreps. He was invited to the USA U16 training camp this past August although not selected to the final 12-man roster that won the FIBA event; however, the fact he was invited to the camp speaks highly of his skills. @Khani_rooths 247 Hudl https://www.bluestarmedia.org/hopefuls-to-convene-23-players-are-invited-to-usa-basketball-mens-u16-national-team-training-camp-in-houston-coach-sharman-white-of-pace-academy-ga-to-guide-the-young-americans/
