Honestly, really happy for her, she is going to crush it there.
WBB: 2026 Transfer Portal
- Thread starter CycloneT
- Start date
Big Transition for UCLA too for next year. Good luck to her.
UCLA is in a total rebuild so she, if healthy, can be a centerpiece.
Reagan Wilson posted a tiktok celebrating all teammates entering the portal and alluding to the rough times in the ISU program. Lots of players celebrating with her in comments.
Massive transition from Div 2 junior college to a power program, but she was an all American at that level.
Welcome aboard Reggi!
Looks like she was a multi-sport athlete for Mason City (basketball, softball, & soccer). Still not enough height on the roster to compete in the Big 12!

Looks like we're running the Grinnell College run-n-gun 3-point offense next season with a 10-guard rotation.
It would be much more entertaining than last year.
I really like the LOOKS of these new team members
Honestly, I felt like this team's calling card in the past was the ability to be a 3-point threat over the years. Yes, we had some awesome bigs too, but even they could shoot. We didn't always have "A" athletes, but they could shoot...and at a high volume. It was fun to watch. When Audi came, that all seemed to change....and that is not a knock-on Audi. I would love to see it come back.
With the signing of Spotts, our roster now stands at eleven:
8 Guards under 6'
6' - Evangelia Paulk (identifies as a guard but rebounds like a forward)
6'1 - Gift Ezekiel - C ("A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma")
6'2 - Alex-Anne Bessette - W (only averaged 3.4 RPG at Loyola)
Note: in the Canadian comedy Letterkenny, Wayne's girlfriend from Quebec was named Marie-Fred. I do like French-Canadians with hyphenated names!
I was just looking at the portal lists and there are West Coast Conference Teams with more height in the portal than we have on our roster. Not to be mean, but the players we've signed had to come at K Mart Blue Light Special pricing, so we must have money left to splash on a couple of Forward / Centers! Are we going all in the Kentucky's 4* Kaelyn Carroll and St. Mary's Edie Clarke (for a trio of Aussies)?

Personally, the makeup of the recruiting class so far doesn’t bother me in the least. Yes we need a true post or two, but being quicker and having some interchangeable shooters will be fun to watch. I’ve found the entire process intriguing and am patiently waiting for the last pieces to fall into place. The unknown and no expectations is actually kind of fun.
I’ve never used drugs, but, like you, I feel Comfortably Numb about what’s happening. I know we should be screaming, demanding answers, and warning them we might skip games or stop donating. Instead, I’m watching to see how the roster develops. Maybe Hilton’s magic — like a quantum virtual particle — will pop into existence out of the chaos. I don’t want to be on this portal ride, but I’m strapped in to see what happens.
