NCAA Women's Bball Transfer Portal

I didn't see anything about a commitment when I checked, but she could help. She averaged 19 points and 11 boards as a junior.

Is this a commitment?

I don't know that's why I said I hoped it wasn't click bait.  I haven't seen any formal announcement but I sure hope there is one.  She would be a huge get.

Definitely.  She's #5 on multiple 2025 WNBA draft projections.

I deleted my initial post and hid Yeagley's reply which included my post.  That picture is NOT Kiki Iriafen.  

That's on me for not doublechecking or seeing confirmation from other sources.  My apologies to you all.

Projected to stay on west coast for what that’s worth but probably the biggest get in portal.  Meaning K. I. Other projections ND, UCONN, Duke

Vonleh has a nice story behind her.  Not wanting the spotlight but her play puts her in the spotlight.  That’s so IU Ladies Basketball Program.  note:  Noah Vonleh….Tom Crean….T. Moren…..Aaronette Vonleh = IU connection.

Villanova transfer Lucy Olsen is headed to Iowa, a source confirms to @TheNextHoops. Olsen averaged 23.3 ppg, 4.8 rpg and 3.8 apg last season as a junior.

Olsen shoots under 30% from 3, so don't know if she can walk in Clark's footsteps. Lex, your work is cut out for you!

With the Lucy Olsen news came this reaction --  Kentucky transfer guard Maddie Scherr is no longer taking a scheduled visit to Iowa, per source.

Time for CTM to jump in if there's any potential interest.

Scherr makes sense.

Possibly IU or ND lean. WRONG

Hailey van Lith commits to TCU for her COVID season. 

Will be her third school. First two stops were Louisville (for 3 years) and LSU (1).

Van Lith…probably an excellent move to salvage her career and get back to more of Louisville level of play or a little bit better….and come back down to earth and enjoy life more.

Louisville has been on par or better than IU over the last 10yrs.

Well, so much for Maddie Scherr to TCU.

Both, sisters back to Miami.  Funny and cute…great marketing job by them and their inner circle.  Good for them for just enjoying their lives.

Transfer Portal is like a

Musical Chairs IN and Out Hamburger Joint.

Getting more and more nervous.

When I look at Twitter every now and then, I see plenty of movement in the women's portal -- but nothing from Bloomington. 

We have a good core returning and some nice freshmen coming in, but IMO -- we could use a couple experienced players. Maybe a big and a shooter. Trying to replace Mack and Sara will be no easy task. 

It seems the IU staff likes to keep things close to the vest when it comes to recruiting, but jeez -- it's getting kinda disappointing to see player after player enter the portal, and player after player commit to a new school and none of it involves us (well, I'm glad the players entering the porta doesn't involve us -- LOL). 

I've really enjoyed seeing us become a player on the national scene in these past few years -- would love to see it continue. But you almost HAVE to add portal pieces to continue competing at that level.

For the past couple years, it's mostly been us, Iowa and Ohio State as the B1G's top dogs. Maryland has dropped off a little from years of being a power. But other schools are catching up.
