She kept all the important pieces and I saw where she added a couple of complimentary pieces - I can't remember their names or where they are from
On3 2024-2025 Women's Basketball Transfer Portal Tracker - On3
Louisiana Tech transfers OUT
Elina Syniakova, 6-2, F, Fr. (0.7 ppg – 6 games)
Adna Halilbasic, 6-2, F, Fr. (1.2 ppg – 6 games)
Taylor Rietveld, 6-0, F, Fr. (1.4 ppg)
Melissa Mwanza, 6-2, F, Soph. (2 ppg)
Louisiana Tech transfers IN
Kennedy Evans, 5-10, G, Fr. (0.2 ppg – 8 games) - Oklahoma State
Kierra Middleton, 5-7, G, Sr. (0.7 ppg – 10 games) - Tulane
So, 4 forwards out and 2 guards in.
There goes our height advantage
(if it ever really mattered)
At least it appears Isla Airey and Averi Aaron are staying?
According to on3.com also from Tulane;
Joy Madison-Key, 5-8, G, Soph. (2.5 ppg) → Louisiana Tech
@BelinsonMatt:
The transfer portal has closed, and #LATech has held on to its talented core of four impact freshmen, including CUSA Freshman of the Year Paris Bradley.
The Lady Techsters have momentum going into the 2025-26 season.
Yes, this team looks really good. We didn't lose much height advantage, since the 4 out were rarely in games. We have a great 3 deep bench after the starters and, possibly 5 deep on the bench. SO glad we held on to our top players.Quote:

Brooke did better than pigtails who I see has lost 5 key players, and 7 total to the portal. Sure, she has gotten a couple of good pickups too. But I thought no one would want to leave pigtails, you know, it's her calm demeanor and charming personality :icon_roll:Quote:

MacKenzie Wurm (6' 4) is showing on our 25-26 roster. That would give us two 6'4 ladies in Wurm and Isla Airey, plus two strong, physical 6 footers in Jordan Marshall and Averi Aaron. That's a really solid group. Add in Paris Bradley and Jianna Morris and that's six to get excited about. November can't get here soon enough.Quote:

Aaron is going to be a force. She was injured for half the season and showed what she could do when she got back in the game. I hope she is a starter because she is one very strong power forward. This is a great group to build something special.Quote:

So glad to hear that Mackenzie is returning.Quote:
