The biggest transfer portal news is coming from the Iowa State Cyclones with Addy Brown on the move. After losing to Syracuse in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, multiple Cyclones players are entering the portal at once.
Brown is the most notable name as she averaged 11.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists this season. She shot 43.1% from the field, including 33.8% from the 3-point line. The All-Big 12 caliber forward becomes one of the most coveted players on the portal.
Top 5 Teams That Should Target Iowa State Forward Addy Brown
1. South Carolina Gamecocks women’s basketball
The South Carolina Gamecocks are a premier transfer portal landing destination as the program is always in the mix for a national championship and attracts the most attention from WNBA teams and scouts.
Under Dawn Staley, the program has focused on positionless forwards with the ability to defend, rebound, and facilitate. This skill set fits right in for somebody like Brown. If Brown goes there, she won’t be asked to score a lot, but use her high IQ to make the team better overall.
2. UConn Huskies women’s basketball
Just like South Carolina, defending champions UConn Huskies maximize skills and basketball IQ like no other program. Brown fits the classic UConn forward mold due to her ability to pass, rebound, and score efficiently.
With UConn, Brown will get the opportunity to be a featured piece on a national championship contender roster. The exposure is the side benefit.
3. LSU Tigers women’s basketball
Fewer programs have taken advantage of the transfer portal than the LSU Tigers. Kim Mulkey is known to be a convincing and charming personality who can attract big players just like she did with MiLaysia Fulwiley. So, bringing Brown into the fold sits right in Mulkey’s wheelhouse.
Brown’s ability to stuff the stat sheet would make her a major asset in Baton Rouge as Mulkey values physicality and rebounding.
4. Texas Longhorns women’s basketball
Out of the spotlight, the Texas Longhorns are quietly building one of the deepest rosters. Brown’s presence could take it to another level.
Texas would get not only an efficient shooter on offense but also a player with a defensive identity.
5. Stanford Cardinal women’s basketball
Stanford has always liked players who contribute both on offense and defense. Brown’s high IQ would add to their advantage. She appears to be a balanced fit if Stanford likes her profile to their needs.
