Laia Conesa, a 5-foot-11 guard from Barcelona, Spain, has announced her transfer to the Utah women's basketball team from the University of Kansas. Conesa, who spent three seasons with the Jayhawks, had her most productive year in 2024-25, starting 25 games and averaging 7.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game. Last season, she primarily came off the bench, averaging 3.7 points and a career-high 2.1 assists. With significant roster changes at Utah, including six players entering the transfer portal and four already committing to other Big 12 schools, Conesa will have the chance to make a substantial impact. The Utes are also bringing in new talent, including four-star recruits Peyton Jones and Milika Satuala, alongside other incoming players. This transition period presents an opportunity for Conesa to help shape the team's future in the 2026-27 season.
