Former LSU women's basketball guard lands at rebuilding Big 12 school
Last-Tear Poa committed to Arizona State, according to a report from On3's Talia Goodman on Sunday, following three seasons with LSU women's basketball. The junior guard entered the transfer portal the same week as Sa'Myah Smith after the Tigers fell to UCLA in the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight. Tear-Poa started 15 games and played 10 or more minutes in five of LSU's six postseason games this season. Advertisement Poa was a part of the program's national championship season in her first year with the team. She totaled six points and two assists but struggled to cement herself as a true scoring threat throughout her time with the Tigers. The 5-foot-11 guard played two seasons with former LSU All-American Angel Reese, two with Aneesah Morrow and three with Flau'Jae Johnson. She served as the facilitator for the team's offense but couldn't separate herself as head coach Kim Mulkey's go-to point guard. Poa joins an Arizona State team led by first-year head coach Molly Miller. The Sun Devils went 10-22 last season and 3-15 in the Big 12. They also secured a commitment from former Penn State guard Gabby Elliott as four players from last season entered the transfer portal.

Trio of Kentucky Women's Basketball players enter transfer portal
Photo byThe Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team saw a shakeup on Tuesday as three players officially entered the transfer portal following the team's second-round exit from the NCAA Tournament. According to On3's Talia Goodman, 6-foot-7 center Clara Silva has entered the portal with a 'do not contact' tag, indicating she likely already has a destination in mind. The Portugal native played in all 31 games for Kentucky this season, averaging four points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 56.5% from the field. Silva, a promising rim protector, will have three years of eligibility remaining at her next school. Advertisement Shortly after Silva's announcement, junior guard Saniah Tyler also entered the portal, according to Phoenix Stevens. Tyler played a rotational role for the Wildcats this season, averaging 2.3 points and 1.2 rebounds in 12.3 minutes per game. While her role was limited, she brought experience and depth to Kentucky's backcourt. Additionally, freshman guard Tanah Becker has decided to transfer, a source confirmed with Stevens at KSR. The 6-foot-1 guard originally committed to Kentucky under former head coach Kyra Elzy but saw minimal playing time in her first season. Becker appeared in just four games, averaging 1.8 points per contest. These departures signal potential roster changes for Kentucky heading into next season. With head coach Kenny Brooks set to hit the transfer portal again, the Wildcats will look to reload and build upon their NCAA Tournament appearance. More from
