With the 2023-2024 regular season complete, many college basketball stars will be looking for a new home. A lot of movement started during the season, but so much is still unknown, including where players like LSU’s Kateri Poole and Hailey Van Lith and Oregon State star Raegan Beers will land.
The transfer portal is where teams can get dramatically better. They can pull top talent to add to their team, which could change the makeup of a program. For example, last year’s transfer portal had some stout names looking for new teams, including Te-Hina Paopao to South Carolina and Lauren Betts to UCLA. All three stars are making significant contributions to their new schools, and this year’s transfer portal class could do the same. There’s already speculation about where top talent could go, like Kateri Poole, Hailey Van Lith or Raegan Beers, who was part of the heart and soul of Oregon State.
As movement turns into confirmation, here are the top women’s college basketball transfer portal moves:
