Missouri women’s basketball adds high-major starting point guard transfer
Make that two signings for Kellie Harper’s team in the opening week of the transfer portal.
Missouri women’s basketball landed a commitment Sunday from Indiana point guard Nevaeh Caffey, who announced her decision to sign with the Tigers via social media. Caffey is a native of Warrenton, Missouri, who started all 32 Hoosiers games last season as a true freshman.
The Tigers have now made two additions out of the transfer portal since the window opened April 6, with Caffey joining Michigan transfer and freshman shooting guard McKenzie Mathurin.
Caffey is from the St. Louis area and played her high school at Incarnate Word Academy, winning 139 straight games and four straight MSHSAA Class 6 titles with the powerhouse. She was named Miss Show-Me Basketball as a senior in 2025.
In 32 starts, averaging 32.1 minutes on the floor per game, Caffey scored 8.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 turnovers per game. The 5-foot-10 shot 41.7% from 3-point range on 36 total attempts, and she averaged 3.3 free-throw attempts per game with a 81.3% clip.
Point guard — and guard depth at large — looked likely to be a target area for the Tigers in this transfer window, which will remain open for new entries through April 21.
The Tigers can return Averi Kroenke, who sustained a season-ending injury before the Tigers’ season-opener last year, and have a top-100 high school prospect in Natalya Hodge with the ability to run the point.
With high-major starting experience, Caffey sets up to find a prominent spot in the rotation next year in Columbia.
Five Missouri players have entered the portal and will transfer out of the program this offseason, including core rotation members in guards Chloe Sotell and Shannon Dowell. If there had been no outward movement, Mizzou would not have had any room to work in the transfer portal due to the NCAA’s 15-player roster limit for college basketball programs.
Mizzou has now filled two of those five possible open roster spots.
Frontcourt depth is now the clear-and-obvious major need for Mizzou. The Tigers need experience at both forward and center to round out their roster.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Two separate tornadoes have been confirmed in Clinton, Missouri, from Wednesday evening’s storms by the National Weather Service’s survey crews.
The first tornado was confirmed to be of EF-1 strength. It touched down at 6:03 p.m. just south of Clinton, Missouri, near the Harry S Truman Reservoir. It tracked northeast into the southeastern side of Clinton and strengthened with peak winds of 98 mph. The tornado then weakened to an EF-0 strength before reaching E Clinton St. Its total track length was 2.5 miles.
A second tornado was confirmed from the same supercell storm. It had peak winds of 70 mph, with a path length of 1.85 miles from E. Lincoln St to N 6th St. and a width of 30 yards.
Reported damage from these tornadoes included snapped, large tree branches and trunks, loss of siding, and collapsed walls of small buildings.

Bryson Tiller is leaving Kansas for bitter rival Missouri after a promising and productive freshman season with the Jayhawks.
The 6-foot-11 forward arrived in Lawrence before the spring semester in 2025 and redshirted before playing last season, when Tiller was a regular in the starting lineup. He averaged 7.9 points and 6.1 rebounds, and one of his best games for Kansas came against the Tigers, when he had 13 points, five rebounds and five blocks in an 80-60 rout at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
Missouri has been active in the transfer portal, landing Tennessee forward Jaylen Carey and Providence forward Jamier Jones.
Tiller visited the Tigers on Sunday and made the decision to join coach Dennis Gates over interest from Michigan, Georgia Tech, NC State, Arizona and others. He visited Miami but canceled a planned visit to Arizona.
Kansas already lost another big man, Flory Bidunga, who decided to transfer to Louisville.
