Hailey Van Lith transfer: Why former LSU guard is joining TCU as Haley Cavinder flips to Miami

Date:

Former LSU point guard Hailey Van Lith is on the move again.

After entering the transfer portal following a rocky season in Baton Rouge, Van Lith is reportedly headed to TCU to give herself a fresh start and bolster the Horned Frogs’ backcourt.

Van Lith was one of the nation’s most impressive scorers in her junior season at Louisville, averaging 19.7 points per game. She teamed up with Angel Reese and Flau’jae Johnson at LSU in 2023, aiming to help the Tigers win a second consecutive national championship. But Van Lith didn’t enjoy the same success in a less prominent role for the Tigers.

With one season of eligibility remaining, Van Lith decided to a new opportunity after LSU was eliminated in the Elite Eight.

Here’s what you need to know about how TCU’s roster shakes out with Van Lith in the mix and with another expected transfer — NIL star Haley Cavinder — off the table.
