Oklahoma State University’s women’s basketball team has emerged as a significant player in the NCAA transfer portal, successfully acquiring top talents like Audi Crooks, the No. 1 ranked transfer from Iowa State, and Liv McGill, a standout guard from Florida. After a challenging season that ended in the second round of the NCAA tournament, head coach Jacie Hoyt focused on rebuilding the team with new talent. The transfer portal, which opened on April 6, has become a vital tool for programs to replenish their rosters amid increasing player mobility. Oklahoma State's recent additions, including Nene Ndiaye from Rutgers and Talexa Weeter from Fort Hays State, position them well for the upcoming season. Other programs, such as the Tennessee Lady Vols and Georgia Lady Bulldogs, are also leveraging the portal to rebuild after losing key players. As teams adapt to this new landscape, the ability to attract experienced transfers could define their success in future seasons. The trend indicates a shift in college basketball dynamics, where programs with strong NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) opportunities and playing time can quickly transform their fortunes.
