Guard — Taliah Scott
Arkansas standout freshman Taliah Scott announced her entry to the transfer portal the day it opened. She will undoubtedly be one of the nation’s most coveted players in the portal. Scott led the Razorbacks with 22.1 points per game but missed 11 conference games due first to a back issue and later to a family emergency. The Orange Park, Fla., native was a 5-star and the No. 11 prospect in the class of 2023 per ESPN.
New school: Auburn
Guard/Forward — Jersey Wolfenbarger
A week prior to her junior season beginning, Jersey Wolfenbarger stepped away from the program. She entered the portal the morning it opened March 18. Wolfenbarger, a former 5-star and No. 7 prospect in the class of 2021, averaged 5.6 points and 3.8 rebounds over two seasons at Arkansas.
