Even before UConn was crowned as the 2025 national champion, changes already were sweeping across the women’s college basketball landscape. And they’ll only continue.
While many players will take their talents to the WNBA, others have chosen to exercise their remaining eligibility. For an increasing number of players, that includes their eligibility to transfer, with the portal quickly piling up with names seeking new destinations.
As of midnight on April 23, the transfer portal is now closed, with almost 30 percent of the just over 5,000 Division I women’s college basketball players having chosen to put their name in the portal in hopes of possibly find new hooping homes, according to On3’s Talia Goodman. For players now in the portal, there is no timeline on making a decision. So, expect transfer rumors and news to keep trickling.
According to NCSA, there are 5,048 womens college basketball players total.
1,510 have entered the transfer portal this year.
That’s nearly 30% of all players.
