We're keeping tabs on every major move with the transfer portal open in women's college basketball

The confetti has settled from UCLA's national championship victory, but in women's college basketball, the action is just heating up. The transfer portal is wide open, and it's already reshaping the landscape for the 2026-27 season. Star players are on the move, creating a whirlwind of roster changes that will define the next chapter of the sport.

One of the biggest names to enter is former Iowa State standout Audi Crooks, the nation's second-leading scorer. The Cyclones felt the portal's impact immediately, with eight other players, including key contributors Jada Williams and Addy Brown, joining Crooks in seeking new homes. This mass exodus highlights the portal's power to rapidly alter a program's trajectory.

No team has faced a more complete overhaul than Tennessee. New head coach Kim Caldwell is essentially building from scratch, as every player from last season's roster has either graduated or entered the portal. Meanwhile, at Texas, a program fresh off back-to-back Final Four runs, unexpected roster turnover is creating a fascinating offseason storyline.

For players, the critical window to enter the portal runs from April 6 to 20. While that's the deadline to file paperwork, the decision-making process—including campus visits—can continue well beyond that date, setting the stage for a summer of major announcements.

Among the most intriguing trends is the movement of highly-touted freshmen. Players like Aaliyah Crump (ranked No. 11 in the portal) and several other former top-25 recruits are seeking new opportunities after limited roles in their debut seasons, often due to injury, roster depth, or the natural adjustment to college play.

We're tracking all the major moves right here. Stay tuned as we follow these elite athletes on their journeys to find the perfect program and platform to showcase their talents, reminding us that in today's game, a new team and fresh threads can be just a portal entry away.
