Boston U. senior 6'5 forward Anete Adler has entered the transfer portal as a grad transfer, per source. Adler averaged 15.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game last year for Boston. She had two 33-point games this past season.

IMO not a big surprise.

Per Talia Goodman - : Indiana’s Phoenix Stotijn plans to enter the transfer portal, her representative at Next Page NIL told @On3. The 5-9 sophomore averaged 2.1 ppg at IU this season in 14.3 mpg. She averaged 7.2 ppg as a freshman at Arkansas.

Another not a big surprise -

Talia Goodman - Indiana’s Faith Wiseman plans to enter the transfer portal, her representative at Next Page NIL told @On3. The 6-4 sophomore appeared in 15 games this season.

And we have a trifecta from Talia Goodman -

Indiana’s Jade Ondineme plans to enter the transfer portal, her representative at GAgency told @On3. Ondineme, a 6-3 junior, appeared in 18 games this season.

 

And I will tell you that none of these 3 are surprises.  A poster on another site that typically has good women's bball intel mentioned these names 2-3 weeks ago as likely leaving the program.

Phoenix’s transfer was the easiest prediction of all  time. She apparently dates Fears and was wearing MSU gear at our home game a couple weeks ago. lol. 
 

Her shooting percentages were bad at Arkansas and they stayed bad here.  Never really understood this addition in the first place.

Warm bodies to fill a roster.

Not saying we’ll be a dominant team, but if those are our portal losses and Noyan, Z, Beaumont, Caffey, and Makalusky stay this is a very healthy situation.

Add one or two portal-ists and the freshmen to those five and let’s roll. Back to the tourney and a ranked squad we will go!!

No WNIT? Isn't that a little high & mighty? This team/program needs to earn its way back to respect. At the moment, it doesn't have much room to say "that is beneath me".

The consensus on this board seemed to be that CTM has done good things, and deserves another chance, after a whole bunch of recruiting misses. She is going to have to go in the portal and make some surprising catches to assure that IU is viable. And no more Ciezki next year.

My one gripe with Moren over the years has been that we always seem to have a lot of dead weight on every roster. Nobody uses every scholarship player of course, but it would be nice if we could go 8-9 deep instead of 6-7 deep with 3 or 4 players who aren't playable.

3 girls have entered the portal, Z out with an injury, Fenn hasn't played a second due to injury.  Roster's a little thin.

Hopefully Jackson will be a nice surprise..

With Zania and Noyan back, she’s a developmental luxury. Hopefully she’s talented enough to be worth the wait.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Hoping for Big Z to get and stay healthy.  This year didn’t increase my confidence of that but it would be a huge development.

I was pretty annoyed that we didn't accept WNIT, but, completely did not think about the coaches/team already knew the transfers were coming. Maybe we could get into a 3 v 3 tourney lol?  Appreciate the voice of reason!!!

Yeah, I think less and less teams are going to play those NIT games with the way the roster turnover portal stuff.  I can see it going away in the future.

Prioritize 2026-2027.  Very solid team of players barring anything unexpectedly.  

Currently, a middle of the pack 7,8,9 in big ten.  More help needed.

(ARE THERE ANY UPDATES ON Z INJURY??? Is it going to be a continuing career issue or is it getting or going to be fixed at a 100%)???

Do what needs to be done in transfer portal (Get more (big) impact scoring and rebounding skilled help inside not another bench warmer and another scoring wing. Again, not a bench warmer.  Then, there would be a bunch of potential with depth and talent and guarantee regarding injury/s.  

Then, IU Ladies become a solid top 2, 3, or 4 team in big ten.  Maybe, even compete for # 1 in big ten.

It would be fun/interesting to see what T. Moren and staff/program could do with a team of talent and depth.

 

[TTT]

Could 2 IU Ladies bigs thus far to transfer portal = Sarah Okeke?.  Zania and Noyan and Zoe and Okeke combination could work really well.

That’s needed if going to compete at the top.
