Transfer portal updates

Sources from The Ball Out have revealed that basketball star Haley Van Lith is honing her focus on UConn and LSU, although more may be added to the list. Further, it appears that the race for Lauren Betts’ commitment has come down to UCLA and Colorado.

Celeste Taylor took everyone by surprise when she entered the portal after indicating just weeks prior her intention of staying at Duke. It seems that South Carolina, Ohio State, and Tennessee are currently in the driver’s seat for acquiring her talent.
