How many scholly's are available for the women's team next year?

I believe we only had 12 on scholarship last year and Mack, Sara and Arielle are gone.  Currently only 2 commits so we have 2 available unless I've overlooked someone and that assumes we don't have a transfer out.   And in my mind Currie-Jelks is a question mark.

Talia Goodman update -

907 women’s basketball players are in the transfer portal - including some big names. 35 have committed to new programs.

I'm thinking four -- maybe five

For 2024-25

1. Sydney Parrish -- 5th year
2. Chloe Moore-McNeil -- 5th year 
3, Lexus Bargesser -- junior
4. Henna Sandvik -- junior 
5. Lilly Meister -- junior
6. Yarden Garzon -- junior
7. Sharnecce Currie-Jelks -- junior
8. Lenee Beaumont -- sophomore
9. Juliana LaMendola -- sophomore
10. Sydney Fenn -- freshman
11. Faith Wiseman -- freshman

Not sure about Currie-Jelks' status. She played in three games last season after coming in as a UT-Martin transfer, but sat out the rest because of "personal issues." 

So, we technically have four. But if SCJ doesn't return -- that would give us five.

EDIT: Adjusted -- as @TTT noted, women are allowed 15 schollys. I had forgotten. Dang, we played this past season with three open.

Great minds think alike.

IU Ladies with Faith and Sidney coming in = 11 .  Ladies basketball can carry a 15 roster.  That would mean 4 scholarships available including Currie Jelks on roster.

I had totally forgotten the women's teams can carry 15 scholarship players.

I think they need a couple of front line players from the portal.

Georgia Amoore (G) from VA Tech; 1 year left  Short for CTM's standards but knows how to get the ball into the hands of the scorers.

I think there could be something to Liza Karlen /Marquette for IU Ladies…..St Paul Minnesota.  Stillwater connection

That was my first thought as well but their time on campus wouldn't have overlapped would it?  Van Slooten's first year at Oregon would have been 22-23 and Syd was already back home again in Indiana.

They did not play together. But I would guess they have met on a recruiting visit.

Really does seem like a great fit though. Hope we pursue. Couple other nice options. Moren can lock in for 2 spots it seems.

Per T. Goodman Van Lith next up in transfer portal and it’s definitely a No.  However, she can play somewhere else.

Lety Vasconcelos (6-7 FR center) from Baylor, a native of Brazil.  Had a pretty solid offer list.

Her are her 2023-24 stats

[Class of '66 Old Fart 86,045]

Not much of a 'wow' factor is there?  If I had looked at her stats first which I usually do, I don't think I'd have posted the fact she was entering the portal.  Saw the 6'7" and didn't look any further.
