The top 10 players in the women's college basketball transfer portal – 247Sports

The college basketball transfer portal isn’t just open on the men’s side of things. There are also a host of talented women who are in the portal looking for new homes, including some absolute superstars. It was time to take a shot at ranking the best of the best. 
As you look at these rankings, keep in mind that they are generated by weighing how many years of eligibility a prospect has remaining in addition to their statistical production. The younger a prospect, the more value she has over an older player with similar stats. 
So, here’s a look at the 10 most valuable players in the women’s college basketball transfer portal. These rankings are powered by BrandonClayScouting.com. 
Aneesah Morrow’s numbers were absolutely staggering this season. The All-American averaged 25.7 points and 12.2 rebounds per game in 35 minutes a contest. Morrow’s recruitment is expected to be limited to the elite upper echelon of the women’s game today. Her ability to play 32-36 minutes a game with a usage rate that doesn’t tail off late in the game is special. Expect her to potentially visit national powers LSU and South Carolina later in the month and into early May.
Hailey Van Lith is the most explosive offensive perimeter player on this list. She went backwards in 2022-23 statistically with her shooting perspective dropping to 41.1 FGA, 29.3 3PFG respectively. That being said, Van Lith’s volume increased drastically as she finished with 19.7 point in 36.9 minutes played per game.
Look for Van Lith to transfer to a program that already has a National Championship in the trophy case. She is expected to be in Baton Rouge at some point in the next 48 to 72 hours to visit with the reigning National Champions.
Lauren Betts place on this list is in large part due to the potential she flashed as a high school prospect just a year ago.
During her first year at Stanford, he put up reserve-level numbers across the board, finishing with 5.9 points, 3.5 rebounds in just under 10 minutes per game while playing behind All-American Cameron Brink. Betts is a potential difference maker for a program that needs her to play 25-plus minutes a game in 2023-24.
Former Iowa State guard Lexi Donarski saw some slippage in the 2022-23 season mainly from beyond the three-point line, dropping from 37 percent per to 31.8 in 32 games of play. But, at close to 6-feet, she’s still the premier shot maker in the portal.
As of now, the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year is planning to use both years of eligibility with her eye on the 2025 WNBA Draft. She was on campus at Indiana last week with two more visits potentially in the works.
Update: Todd-Williams has signed with Ole Miss.
Kennedy Todd-Williams produced at an All-ACC level, averaging 13.4 points per contest to go along with 5.4 rebounds.
With two year’s of eligibility remaining, Todd-Williams will likely look to be more efficient from the field at her next stop as she averaged just 39% on FG. But, she’s a factor on both ends of the hardwood and is a great pick up for the Rebels.
Update: Curry has signed with Louisville.
Playing for a team that finished 13-17, Jayda Curry had the freedom to do whatever she needed to do in order to keep the Golden Bears in games this past season. She scored 15.5 points a game but only shot 37.9% from the field in the process — a drop after averaging 18.6 on 38.6 as a freshman.
Curry was an All-Pac 12 selection, but will look to be more efficient while being surrounded by more talent at her next stop.

Endyia Rogers had the best year of anyone in the portal with a single year of eligibility remaining.
She averaged 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists for a Ducks team that won 20 games. In addition, she shot over 45% from the field and just under 39% from three-point range.
Rogers is an instant upgrade at the point guard spot for the majority of teams who made the tournament in 2023.
Here comes the run on one year eligible transfers.
Celeste Taylor was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year in 2022-23 averaging 2.2 steals a game. On the offensive end, Taylor brings a shooter guard mindset and was able to give Kara Lawson’s roster 11.4 points a game. Also, her field goal percentage has increased from 34% as a freshman to 39.4% in 2022-23.
Frannie Hottinger can make a real case that she is the most productive player in the portal not named Morrow or Van Lith.
Hottinger had a special season, scoring 20.3 points and grabbing 9.5 rebounds a game en route to winning the Patriot League Player of the Year.
But still, her struggles from the three-point line has limited her catch-and-shoot consistency (Hottinger converted on just 28% of those shots this year). As she she looks to move onto a bigger stage next year, she’ll focus on being a more consistent threat from the arc.
There is statistical value written all over Te-Hina Paopao’s game.
She was ranked as the seventh best non-senior three-point shooter in the country at 42.4% for the 2022-23 season. Add that to her 13 points and 3.3 assists per contest, and you have a guard capable of impacting the game at the point or off the ball as a catch-and-shoot sniper.
