Mya Perry had a 3.2 BPM this year, which would have been 5th best on the Bearcats, just ahead of Abby Holtman.

Not UC related but...... Hailey Van Lith is the first college basketball player ever to reach the elite 8 with THREE different teams. This just shows what the transfer portal has done.

TCU’s Hailey Van Lith is now the first player to ever play in 3 Elite Eights for three different schools.
Not the first woman. The first player EVER.
In the new age of the transfer portal, more players than ever are moving from school to school to find the best fit for themselves.
But it seems like everywhere Van Lith goes, it’s a perfect fit.
Because not only has she gone deep in the NCAA Tournament with 3 teams, but she’s done it 3 straight seasons as well.
2023 – Louisville
2024 – LSU
2025 – TCU
This year for the Horned Frogs, Van Lith scored nearly 18 points a game and a career-high 5.4 assists.
Unfortunately, in their attempt to make the Final Four, they lost to in-state rival Texas.
She also lost in the Elite Eight round with both LSU and Louisville.
In addition to playing in 3 Elite Eights, Van Lith was also a member of Team USA’s 3-on-3 basketball team at the 2024 Olympics.
Next up: the WNBA Draft on April 14.

Chloe Mann to the portal . . .

Chloe Mann to the portal . . .

Chloe had a negative BPM with the second highest usage on the team, even higher than Jillian Hayes. She shot an abysmal 32% effective field goals with more turnovers than assists. I never like to see players leave, but this could be an addition by subtraction.

[sedz]

I'll add that Chloe didn't play in our biggest win of the season at Texas Tech. Coach Merriweather may have made it clear that her role would be reduced.

Chloe Mann to the portal . . .

That's surprising to me. I wonder if she's headed back to the state of Texas.

Welcome to the Bearcat family Kylie. She sounds like a great pick for our Cats.

WBB signs transfer Mary Carden.
https://oruathletics.com/sports/wome...ry-carden/5522

I'd consider Mary a project with upside. Great size at 6'6 but she struggled to earn minutes as a freshman thanks to the typical reasons for young players - 25% turnover rate and 4.8 fouls per 40 minutes. She posted a negative 1.8 BPM. Hopefully she can develop into a rotation player.

Offers out to:

Marley Spiers, a 6'4 Center from Clarksville TN in the class of 2027

Ashlyn Evans a 5'10 CG from Duncan SC in the class of 2029

Offer to '29 Savayah Mitchell

Offer to '29 Savayah Mitchell

Mitchell is only a HS freshman, so it'll be a while before she can take official visits. She's a 5'8" combo guard from Indy Pike. Per "Woods Recruiting", she's unafraid of contact, defensive disruptor and floor general. In the GUAA 15U circuit (similar to the men's AAU), she has put up double-doubles against elite competition.
