College basketball transfer tracker: Diamond Johnson picks Norfolk State - Just Women's Sports
The transfer portal is shaking up the women’s college basketball landscape as players and teams look toward the 2023-24 season.

FYI transfer portal news -- not suggesting for Minnesota.
Both tall guards, the Maryland style.
Ava Sciolla looks like she wouldn't get minutes at Maryland. She actually would be interesting for Minnesota as a rotation player like when Battle is taking a rest break. She's a 6' point guard.

Isis Beh from Coach P's former team West Virginia entered the transfer portal. She's a 6' 3" forward.
She was not a starter. She played around 10 minutes per game and averaged 2.1 rebounds a game, 3.1 points, and a .522 field goal shooting percentage (short range). Skimming articles it seems she was defensive minded.
As a freshman at UNLV, "2020 Mountain West Conference All-Freshman Team. Averaged 3.6 points, 4.0 rebound, 0.9 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.6 steals per game as a freshman. Also shot 52.9% (46-87) from the field and averaged 20.8 minutes in 30 games played, including one start."
Sounds like a good post rotation/relief player.

Does the UMD center have any eligibility left?
If you mean Olson, no she is a graduate student, this was her 5th year.
Lady Vols basketball gets commitment from Belmont transfer point guard Destinee Wells
Former Belmont star point guard Destinee Wells has committed to Tennessee Lady Vols basketball out of the transfer portal.
www.knoxnews.com
"Lady Vols basketball has hit transfer portal gold for the second season in a row. This time it’s the final piece of the puzzle for next year's roster: an elite point guard.
Belmont transfer Destinee Wells announced Thursday that she has committed to Tennessee. The 5-foot-6 junior point guard visited Knoxville on Wednesday.
In Belmont’s first season in the Missouri Valley Conference, Wells led the team in scoring and assists and earned All-MVC First Team and MVC All-Tournament team honors. She had 35 points and five assists in Belmont's first-round loss to Ball State in the WNIT on March 16."

This really feels like this is turning into free agency for the top women players that aren't on the elite teams. So, you basically get your stock high enough and then you shop your skills to one of the top programs you feel has at least a chance at a Final Four.
I think all these players watched the LSU & Iowa Final Four and they see final ratings where ESPN broke a record and had 9.9M viewers and the exposure (NIL) that brings. Now they assess whether their program has any chance to reach that level. If not, why should they stick around. With NIL available to the top women, this really is a business now.
I was thinking the same thing and this means the rich will get richer.

It's all about the elite teams staying elite.

Owusu enters portal after 17 games with Va. Tech
Ashley Owusu, a former All-Big Ten player at Maryland, has entered the transfer portal after appearing in just 17 games for Virginia Tech in 2022-23.
Ashley Owusu, a former All-Big Ten player at Maryland, is in the transfer portal after playing one season at Virginia Tech, the program confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday... But Owusu saw a minimal role in Blacksburg, appearing in 17 games and averaging 5.1 points in 15.1 minutes.
There appeared to be a fraught relationship between Owusu and her teammates. Following Virginia Tech's loss to the Tigers in the national semifinal, guard Kayana Traylor responded to a tweet asking why Owusu wasn't on the bench after halftime with "hmm idk check the lsu bench," a tweet that was liked or retweeted by several other Hokies players.
The school said at the time that Owusu hadn't been feeling well and so did not return to the court after the break.
Duke women's basketball freshman Shay Bollin to enter transfer portal
“After considerable discussion with my family, coaches and close friends, I’ve decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal and will be leaving Duke University at the end of the current semester,” Bollin said.
www.dukechronicle.com
"Bollin, a member of head coach Kara Lawson’s first full recruiting class, was the 33rd-ranked player in the 2022 class. The four-star recruit missed her final two high-school seasons as she rehabbed from a knee injury.
Due to the depth at the center position, junior Kennedy Brown and graduate student Mia Heide received most of the playing time. Bollin played in limited minutes during her season with the Blue Devils. The Raynham, Mass., native saw action in eight games, averaging 5.1 minutes and 2.4 points per game."
Gophers could use a rotation/relief center. I doubt a once-high ranked prospect who went to east coast Duke would do that but maybe.

Oregon forward Sedona Prince has rescinded her name from inclusion in the 2023 WNBA Draft pool, per a list released by the league Thursday, and has entered the transfer portal, The Athletic has learned. Here’s what you need to know:
- The 6-foot-7 Prince joined Oregon in 2019 after redshirting her freshman year at Texas after suffering a broken leg. She sat out the 2019-20 season after transferring, then played in 2020-21 and 2021-22.
- Prince, 22, opted into another season with the Ducks as a master’s student but missed the 2022-23 season after undergoing surgery on a torn ligament in her elbow. She indicated at the time she planned to pursue a professional career.
- Prince has averaged 9.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in her college career, shooting 54.3 percent from the field.
I love the way this article starts:
"The shocking news coming out of the Oregon Ducks women’s basketball program doesn’t stop.
Sedona Prince, who missed the entire 2022-23 season to an elbow injury, has withdrawn her name from the WNBA draft and will enter the transfer portal instead, per a report from The Athletic."
