WBB Transfer Portal Targets 2025-2026+

Now that the regular season is over, players looking for greener pastures are going to flood the portal market soon after their teams lose their conference tournament or with a big dance loss.

Skim Milkey already working on it. Could one be Vanderbilt's Mikayla Blakes (5'8" G)? She's gonna get one hellva payday if she does.

Here's Blakes original Top 7 list (3 from B1G):

Other Possibilities:
Kiyomi McMiller, Rutgers. The 5'8" PG - Seems obvious from the run-in with her coach and was suspended.


Potential Needs:
-Top Scorer (replace Lucy' production)
-Ball Handling to break a press (replace Lucy)
-Power Forward (replace Syd)
-Defense (replace Kylie if she leaves)

Best Players Currently in Portal:
Amari Whiting (BYU)
-5’10 Guard​
-10.3 PPG | 5.5 RPG | 3.8 APG | 2 SPG​
-2 years of eligibility remaining​
-#33 recruit in HS class of 2023​
-would have 3rd best stats on current team​
-last resort for ball handling skills (if she has them)​
-have not dug into her full skillset; only have her here for now coz her stats are noteworthy to current players​
-may follow along with her head coach mom if she is hired by another program​

Devries Rumors Getting Louder

Seems like a lot of open speculation.

This is a joke

First season with a losing conference record in quite a while. First season in recent memory without at least one McCaffery boy on the team. Is that a coincidence? I'm not so sure.

What CM and PM did best was provide a stabilizing force on the team. They left it all out on the court and inspired others on the team to follow their example. Their most important qualities were their intangibles.

I believe if PM were still on the team, the Hawks would have a winning record in conference. They'd be a lock for the NCAA tournament, too.
