WBB: 23 of top 50 players from the 2025 class are in the portal.

[18IsTheMan]

The number is sure to go up and surpass over half of the top 50 from the 2025 class transferring after a single season.

You seriously have to wonder what the future is of high school recruiting when a coach knows he/she has maybe a 50/50 shot of retaining that player past 1 season.

The men's portal opened at midnight and there are already over 1,000 players in.

On3 2025-26 Women's Basketball Transfer Portal Tracker

Here is where On3 will keep a running list of each women's basketball player who enters and where they eventually end up.

It still needs to be updated some. Texas just had two portal entries last night that could change the landscape for next season in Justice Carlton and Aaliyah Crump.

You would know better than me, since I don't follow WBB directly much at all. But why aren't we more of a recruiting juggernaut? She's won 3 titles in 11 seasons (discounting 2020), has basically made us a FF lock each season, a title contender every year. She's still on the young side, has all the pedigree in the world as both a player and a coach. I could not say for certainty, since I don't keep up with it, but I think she's probably demonstrated excellence in player development. From all the success, I would expect we'd be at Alabama football level in terms of stockpiling talent.

Or, maybe since I don't follow it, my analysis is way off. It just always kind of surprises me when a top player chooses to go elsewhere. I peeked at the 2026 class, and we are 6th.

We have recruited well. However, programs like Texas, USC(west), LSU, and even Oklahoma outspend us. There is this perception that we way overspend on Women's Basketball. However, we are only kind of keeping up with what the market is demanding. Programs in the SEC are tired of USC winning in Women's Basketball all the time. They are spending. They are whining about the SEC Tournament being in Greenville, SC. Trying to do anything to bring us down a peg. This doesn't even consider UConn who sets the spending market for everyone in WBB.
