LADY RAIDER BB Transfer Portal Tracker

Meioshe Mason should end up somewhere smaller that can play her! Honestly, it's not the worst idea for players who want to improve their game to take a redshirt year somewhere with a strong program to grow as a player before heading somewhere else. I would imagine she will get a fair amount of looks.

Grabovskaia in the portal again! Wonder if we’d take her back/she’d want to come back here…?

She played 449 minutes across 33 games at Michigan. So, she averaged 13.61 minutes per game. Why come back here and ride the pine yet again for a coach who only plays 5 girls per game?
This isn’t in dispute. Unless you make the starting lineup game #1, you are destined to be practice fodder the remainder of the year.

Realistically, if she returned, she'd be the starter game 1. I don't think she comes back though, but you never know.
 
In CUSA news:

FIU-transfer Mya Kone is transferring to Miami. Surprising to say the least, but Miami is going through a rebuild so it may be the perfect opportunity for her to slide into PT in the ACC.

Jacksonville State has 3 of their top 5 scorers in the portal. Tough for a team that already struggled to score the basketball.

Liberty with 3 players in the portal. Including 6-4, post Emily Howard, Pien Steenbergen and Brooke Moore. Nothing too detrimental to the defending champions since they return a solid young core. Steenbergen does run their frontcourt a little thin, but I know they are actively recruiting C very hard. Moore does fit the defensive mold CRI likes to run, could be another inter-CUSA transfer situation with MT familiarity?

NMSU looks to rebuild with CUSA POY Kaiser graduating and now 6-1, F Fanta Gassama is in the portal. Averaged 9 points, 9 rebounds -- a big hit to an already small Aggies starting 5.

Similar to last offseason UTEP has 4 players in the portal. Keitha Adams has her work cut out for her after a last place season.

WKU's Chatfield and Gilvin in the portal still. The Lady Toppers currently sit with 1 returning starter.
 
In more CUSA news,

NMSU now has 7 players in the transfer portal and depending on eligibility appeals, they currently have 4 players on roster and 2 incoming HS signees.

WKU's Acacia Hayes entered the portal. She missed some significant time over the last two season with injuries, but a big loss for the Lady Toppers nonetheless. That leaves Collins with just 1 starter and their 6th man gone.

Based on what the ncaa does on April 7 we may get several of our seniors back for another year. If that happens we may have to let some of our current players find another home. That might be a good problem to have,

Let's, in theory, say everyone gets another year next week. I'm happy to have Nas and Gregory back but I'd prefer to let Arike and Blakely move on.
 
  • Lauryn Swann, Arizona G (5-7 FR)
    • Big 12 All-Freshman Team averaging 8 points with 40% 3PT shooting.
  • Kiki Smith, Arkansas G (5-7 SO)
    • Made over 2 3PT/game on 41% from deep. Averaged over 10 ppg, and started 22 games for the Razorbacks.
  • T'yana Todd, Boston College G (6-0 JR)
    • Shot 46% from 3, 4th best in CBB. Averaged 13.2 ppg.
  • Marina Asensio, Western Michigan G (5-8 JR)
    • Played on same club (Segle XXI) as HS signee Nicole Dominguez in Spain. Averaged 14 ppg on 38% 3FG.
Added some sharp shooters to the board. Asensio has some interesting ties back to our 6-10 HS signee, Dominguez. Not on the same roster, but there is some international crossover.

Todd is a reach, will be a key role player for a high-major program. Swann and Smith would do well in CUSA, but I don't know if the staff values age/experience. Smith had plenty at Arkansas LY being the 2nd leading scorer behind Higginbottom.
 
Certainly a lot of excellent players out there for us to go after to fill our 2 open roster spots. Any insights on contact to anyone in the portal?
