UCLA is losing Barker, Jones, Aarnisalo and three other freshmen to the portal. It actually make sense to Barker. Sienna Betts will take a lot of playing time in the front court. If Dugalic does not leave, that means less time for Barker. Aarnisalo is good enough to start on most teams. So she would not want to be backup for another year.
UCLA is currently one of the four finalists for Kneepkens. If she comes, that means less playing time for Jones.

the transfer portal is out of control... I read somewhere that a full 25% of all women college basketball players have entered the portal since it opened a few weeks ago. and that was before Fulwiley entered. is it going to be like this every season? may as well just blow up every team every year and reassemble them randomly. make it stop...

The only ones not in the transfer portal are the scrubs. Nobody wants them. Ruining the sport. No loyalty any more.
Last year the NCAA women's Final Four had 21 million views. This year fewer than 8 million. The Caitlin Clark effect is no longer.
A better perspective on this topic. 2025 championships game had the third largest viewers in the current Nielsen format (dating back to 1988). 2024 and 2023 had the two largest.
