"The transfer portal just got easier, said UCLA coach Cori Close with a smile, as she prepares to fill the gaps left by six seniors and graduate students who exhausted their eligibility after the national title game."
"We're going to be very proactive in the transfer portal, Close stated, indicating that UCLA plans to sign five transfers to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season."
"Audi Crooks, a two-time All-American and elite scorer from Iowa State, is among the top players in the portal, finishing second in the nation with 25.8 points per game, making her a prime target for UCLA."
The transfer portal opened shortly after UCLA's NCAA national title victory, allowing teams to recruit players seeking new schools. UCLA coach Cori Close aims to replace six seniors and graduate students who completed their eligibility. With only a few returning players, Close plans to be proactive in the portal, targeting five transfers. Over 1,000 players entered the portal within the first 24 hours, including notable names like Audi Crooks from Iowa State, who could significantly impact UCLA's roster.
