Women's College Transfer Portal 2025 - Australian Players
The Women's NCAA college basketball portal closes this Wednesday (Aus time). Players can sign with a new program up until the new semester starts, so probably early August.
A few Aussie women have already signed or soon to announce. Likely that some of the Freshman 1st year players listed below have been advised to transfer and may not get another D1 opportunity.
About 25% of eligible Women’s college basketball players have entered the transfer portal. At the moment approx. 33% of the players in the portal have either signed elsewhere or a small percentage returned to their current school
Probably missed a few others who should also be on the list. Any news or updates please feel free to comment.
