Mississippi State women’s basketball guard Darrione Rogers enters transfer portal

STARKVILLE — Mississippi State women’s basketball guard Darrione Rogers has entered the transfer portal, she announced via X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.

Rogers spent one season at MSU in which she averaged 8.1 points across 36 games, including nine starts. She was a deep threat for coach Sam Purcell off the bench, shooting 38.2% from 3-point range.

In Mississippi State’s upset victory against LSU on Jan. 29, Rogers had 19 points.

Rogers came to Starkville after three seasons at DePaul. With the Blue Demons, she averaged 12.3 points per game − including a career-high 16.8 points per contest as a junior in the 2022-2023 season.

Rogers is the fifth Bulldog to enter the transfer portal this offseason, joining guards Jasmine Brown-Hagger and Mjracle Sheppard along with forwards Ramani Parker and Nyayongah Gony. Former Kentucky guard Eniya Russell is the lone transfer to commit to Mississippi State.

Purcell is entering his third season at the helm for MSU. LSU transfer Hailey Van Lith is among the guards Mississippi State is pursuing out of the portal. She visited MSU last weekend.
