As the 30-day women’s college basketball transfer portal window, which opens from March 24 to April 22, approaches its close, the 2025 cycle has already delivered major shake-ups. Big-name stars like MiLaysia Fulwiley, Olivia Miles, and Ta’Niya Latson have entered the portal, triggering a wave of roster changes across the country.
