NIL
Best women’s college basketball transfer portal fits: MiLaysia Fulwiley at LSU and more
More than 1,500 Division I women’s basketball players entered the portal this season, including nearly 300 power conference players — that’s an average of four players per power conference team.
With most of the top transfers finding their landing spots, it’s time to look again at the landscape of the sport. The best players in the portal had a chance to improve their future team’s ceilings, locate a better spot for themselves or receive more NIL money. But from a basketball perspective alone, some of these fits — especially those who seem to be the perfect puzzle piece on some national title and conference title contending teams — were just … chef’s kiss.
Let’s examine five players (in alphabetical order) who seem to be perfect fits at their new programs:
MiLaysia Fulwiley, LSU
2024-25 stats (at South Carolina): 11.7 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.5 SPG (19 minutes per game); 43 percent FG, 26 percent 3-point FG
Fulwiley’s transfer to LSU makes an already great SEC rivalry that much spicier (Thank you, basketball gods). This fit is pretty dang appealing for other reasons as well. The duo of Flau’jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams gave the Tigers a high-octane playmaking backcourt. Adding Fulwiley? Yeesh. Talk about showtime in Baton Rouge.
Transition time has slowly ticked upward in Kim Mulkey’s four seasons at LSU. Last season, the Tigers spent nearly a quarter of their possessions in transition, and with the addition of Fulwiley to the Johnson-Williams backcourt, I’m assuming that number will go even higher. All three players can create or score in transition, and adding Kate Koval (Notre Dame) as a center who is ready to run the floor gives them a dump-off option in the paint, too. It’s a role that Fulwiley, in her limited minutes, played well at South Carolina, as 45 percent of her scoring and 39 percent of her assists came in transition.
Fulwiley also gives the Tigers versatility in their pick-and-roll game. They often used high screening actions last season with Aneesah Morrow at the four. If LSU goes small and runs Jada Richard at the point, bumping Fulwiley-Johnson-Williams to the two through four, then Williams becomes the player setting high-ball screens. Though she doesn’t have the same inside presence as Morrow, her ability to step out and knock down 3s makes this pick-and-roll option with ballhandlers like Fulwiley or Johnson a fun two-player game. Last season, Williams acted as a ball screener only four times, including twice when she hit 3-pointers. So, LSU can see how this new wrinkle changes its offensive schemes, considering pick-and-rolls and spot-ups were the Tigers’ most common possessions in half-court play. With Fulwiley as the ballhandler (and ability to score at all three levels, including — like below — in the midrange) and Williams as the screener (and Johnson off-ball), defenses will be forced into a true pick-your-poison.
Gianna Kneepkens, UCLA
2024-25 stats (at Utah): 19.3 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 3.0 APG (30 minutes per game); 50.4 percent FG, 44.8 percent 3-point FG
At Utah — both under Lynne Roberts (who departed early last season for the vacant L.A. Sparks job) and current coach Gavin Petersen — Kneepkens played in a unique offense that basically ignored the midrange. In fact, Kneepkens has attempted exactly 89 midrange jumpers in her career (roughly eight percent of her total shots). UCLA doesn’t skew quite this extreme, but it isn’t exactly a midrange-loving team — only 12 percent of its field goal attempts were midrange shots last season.
Timea Gardiner was last season’s most efficient 3-point shooter, knocking down nearly 40 percent of her attempts, but Kneepkens’ 45 percent 3-point shooting (with a 63 percent effective field goal percentage) will give UCLA’s offense a secondary counterweight to Lauren Betts in the post, which should benefit both players. Kneepkens is better than almost anyone in the nation on either wing or in the left corner, which will allow the Bruins to set her up to force defenses to shade more to her. That also will open driving lanes for Kiki Rice and provide more space in the paint for Betts. More than one-third of her 3-pointers last season came from catch-and-shoot scenarios, off which she shot 48 percent, mostly because of her quick release.
Because defenses had to respect her elite 3-point shooting, Utah also loved running Kneepkens off high screens. If defenders went under, she could step back and knock down a triple, but she also has the size and ballhandling to attack the basket. (Most of her limited midrange shots also came in these scenarios when she decided to stop and pop.)
UCLA fans should be thrilled (and opponents terrified) about the potential of a Kneepkens-Betts two-player game. UCLA didn’t need to expand Betts’ game outside of the paint, but Bruins coaches say the midrange game is in her wheelhouse. If coach Cori Close can put one of the nation’s best 3-point shooters and the nation’s best center (with an extended range) into some high two-player situations, it’s dangerous. Betts has better size and hands than anyone Kneepkens has played with thus far. Then, consider Rice or Gabriela Jaquez off ball and ready to slash, or Gardiner standing by in the left deep corner (where she shot 44 percent from beyond the arc). I’m scratching my head trying to figure out how opponents will stop this. Let them cook, Cori!
Oluchi Okananwa, Maryland
2024-25 stats (at Duke): 10.1 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 1.8 APG, 1.8 SPG (22 minutes per game); 47.3 percent FG, 30 percent 3-point FG
Most players on this list joined more fully-formed teams, but Maryland reloaded almost entirely from the portal once again to replace losses of Shyanne Sellers, Sarah Te Biasu and Christina Dalce to graduation or the WNBA.
Okananwa makes it onto this list because coach Brenda Frese has perfected the art of adding multiple key transfers and continuing to chug along. Even with the additions of Yarden Garzon and Gracie Merkle (who both will likely play large roles), Frese can quickly get these transfers to mesh with the returners and one another fairly quickly.
To best understand the impact Okananwa can have, look no further than her three-game stretch during Duke’s ACC tournament title run last season. She averaged 16 points, seven rebounds and two assists per game while shooting 65 percent, including a blistering 6 of 8 from beyond the arc.
Unlocking Okananwa’s offensive potential and giving her a bit more pace to play with is a recipe for expanding her game and getting the Terrapins back into the top third of the Big Ten after losing so much following a Sweet 16 run.
I’m particularly excited to see Okananwa as Maryland’s best perimeter defender. The Terrapins aren’t exactly known for stout defense (Frese would much rather just outscore opponents), but Okananwa best fits into Maryland’s identity because of her steal-and-score or steal-and-create abilities. Getting out in transition with Smikle and Garzon provides Maryland a fun transition game. Last season, the Terrapins were one of the Big Ten’s best transition teams, shooting 51 percent and scoring nearly a quarter of their points there. Her defensive quickness and understanding of correct defensive positioning should steal a few possessions every game for Maryland.
Madina Okot, South Carolina
2024-25 stats (at Mississippi State): 11.3 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 1.1 BPG (23 minutes per game); 65 percent FG
The Gamecocks added two impressive players — Okot and Ta’Niya Latson — through the portal. As a go-to scorer and proven ballhandler, Latson’s addition is exciting, but I love the prospect of 6-foot-6 Okot elevating South Carolina’s chances to win a national title.
The Gamecocks’ interior defense last season didn’t quite meet the standard of the previous few seasons, and some of that can be chalked up to uber-athletic Ashlyn Watkins missing most of the season with an ACL tear. In her absence, Chloe Kitts and Sania Feagin did a nice job, but there was a noticeable difference from South Carolina’s typical fierce rim-protecting presence when Dawn Staley utilized Kamilla Cardoso and Aliyah Boston.

Okot is still a bit raw. Despite one season of eligibility remaining, she has played only one season of Division I hoops, after competing her first two seasons of college ball in Kenya. But she has the physical gifts and foundational tools for Staley’s staff to mold her into a polished, effective rim protector and interior presence who can clear space on the outside for shooters like Latson, Raven Johnson and Tessa Johnson to be as effective as they were during the 2023-24 season when Cardoso roamed the interior.
Offensively, Okot moves well and runs the floor nicely for someone of her size, and she’ll benefit from playing with multiple skilled, unselfish passers. On a team as deep as South Carolina, Okot won’t need to score 20 points per game, but she will need to make open shots.
I can’t wait to see how Staley’s crew uses Okot defensively. She’ll be facing some SEC posts for a second season, so she has the knowledge base of her opponents’ games, but the Gamecocks’ defensive scheme should free her to make even more plays at the rim. Already, she’s great at finding her assignment in transition and providing help (as seen below) while recovering to make big plays. Her size offers a change from 6-1 Kitts and 6-3 Joyce Edwards, but it’ll be fun to see how the Gamecocks can zero in on getting her into better initial defensive positioning and helping off the ball to create turnovers.
Serah Williams, UConn
2024-25 stats (at Wisconsin): 19.2 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 2.4 APG, 2.3 BPG (32 minutes per game); 49.3 percent FG
The national champs lost Paige Bueckers but return Azzi Fudd, Sarah Strong, Ashlynn Shade, KK Arnold … the list goes on. The Huskies also bring in freshman Blanca Quiñonez, a 6-2 Ecuadorian forward who has been playing professionally in Italy for the last four years. She might just be the front-runner for Freshman of the Year.
Adding a 6-4 former Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year who averaged a double-double last season is a case of the rich getting richer. Williams was perhaps the most sought after player in the portal, but she’s a perfect fit on both sides of the ball for the Huskies. She’ll bring a consistent inside presence that UConn lacked last season, while also allowing Strong to continue to roam all three levels offensively.
Williams spent about half her possessions posting up for Wisconsin last year, and even as the Badgers’ focal point, she was still super efficient, scoring 0.92 points per possession off each post up. (By comparison, Kiki Iriafen scored 0.97 points in each post up last season for USC.) Williams seals well and finds good positioning, even when she doesn’t get the ball on her first open look, and she’ll benefit from receiving crisper passes from better passers at UConn.
She also could be the Huskies’ best pure post defender in a minute, and their best rim protector/shot blocker since Olivia Nelson-Ododa. The Huskies were an exceptionally strong defensive team last season, but against top competition, they could’ve performed better by limiting paint scoring and keeping opponents off the offensive glass. (They were outrebounded on O-boards during the postseason.). Williams averaged more than seven defensive boards per game. She’ll be a much more disciplined, active player in the interior who can log heavy, physical minutes, which will alleviate some of the burden stemming from UConn posts’ foul troubles.

LARAMIE — When it comes to the controversial subject of Name, Image and Likeness in college sports, Tom Burman will be the first to tell you Wyoming has been playing catch up.
That doesn’t mean a solution isn’t on the horizon.
“We need to grow it quickly,” the school’s longtime athletics director admitted on Saturday night.
A report by the Cowboy State Daily earlier in the day stated the department is only allocating $1.4 million annually in NIL funds, $800,000 less per year than regional programs Montana and Montana State, which compete in the FCS.
While the latter dollar amount could not be substantiated, Burman said the initial figure for UW is now at $1.5 million, adding that number only illustrates the revenue sharing monies between the school’s two largest income generating programs, football and men’s basketball. An additional $200,000 is being divvied up between women’s basketball, volleyball and wrestling, he added.
“This does not include any third-party NIL dollars or Learfield NIL partnerships, which are likely another $500,000 total,” he continued. “This also does not include Alston Scholarship dollars, which is $1.1 million, and are included as revenue sharing as part of the House Settlement analysis.”
There are other future plans in place to bring in additional revenue, Burman said. including jersey patches, field and court logos and venue naming opportunities.
UNLV, one of the Cowboys’ current Mountain West foes, recently announced a 5-year, $11 million deal to promote a local Las Vegas company on its uniforms in football, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball. That is expected to be approved in August.
Burman said this will happen at UW, but added, “We’re not going to give it away.”
The same can be said for a permanent field sponsor inside War Memorial Stadium.
Ramos Law, a firm based out of Colorado, purchased that space for the Cowboys’ home finale last month against Nevada — the “Josh Allen game” — for a reported $90,000-plus. The company logo was placed at both 25 yards lines.

There are other potential avenues that could help Wyoming gain ground on the competition.
“If we get support from the state — and not a budget cut, also — and continued investment from the private sector, coupled with support from campus, we will be in a good place in short order,” Burman said.
The department earlier this month asked the joint appropriations committee of the Wyoming Legislature for an additional $3 million on top of the annual $11.2 it receives annually through the school’s block grant. The state will also match up to $5 million a year in private donations.
The grand total is just over $19 million.
Though the $3 million, annually, wouldn’t go directly to NIL and revenue sharing, Burman said, it will help UW to handle other escalating costs that have occurred due to inflation and additional costs related to the NCAA House settlement and Mountain West membership changes.
The university is now on the hook for reimbursements to former student-athletes. That number totals $2.8 billion in damages. Over the next 10 years, Burman added, Wyoming will lose funding to the tune of $550,000, annually.
The current media rights deal with the conference, which currently brings in $3.7 million a year, is also likely to take a hit.
San Diego State, Fresno State, Utah State, Boise State and the Cowboys’ Border War rival, Colorado State, are departing in July for the new-look Pac-12. The league is adding UTEP and Northern Illinois, the latter in football only. UC Davis and Grand Canyon have joined on the basketball side. Hawaii is also now a full member.
The department, though, could soon see an influx of cash once the legal battle between the Mountain West and Pac-12 is finalized. Poaching fees and exit fees are at the heart of the litigation. The next hearing in that case is set for Sept. 9.
Donations to the Cowboy Joe Club, the department’s lead fundraising arm, will also open up additional opportunities to retain and lure future student-athletes, Burman added.
“We are starting to see people donate,” he said. “That frees up money for revenue sharing through ticket sales, media rights, corporate dollars, television, etc.
“We are just getting started.”

It’s getting hard for Clemson to ignore the downfall of Dabo Swinney.
Prior to the start of the 2025 season, Clemson was a trendy pick to make the national championship game. The program’s hopes of making a run in the College Football Playoff were destroyed once Swinney’s squad fell to 1-3 on Sept. 20. Although the Tigers finished the regular season with a 7-5 record, the reality is they underachieved this year.

As if this season wasn’t brutal enough for Clemson fans, they had to watch their team get dismantled by Penn State in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.
Clemson’s offense was neutralized by Penn State’s defense. On the flip side, the Nittany Lions received a sharp performance from quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer.
Before Penn State even put the finishing touches on its bowl victory over Clemson, people voiced their complaints about Swinney online. Most of them believe he should be fired this offseason.

Dabo on the hot seat.
“Fire Dabo, fire the whole staff, cut the entire team. Losing to a piss poor Penn State team is unacceptable,” one fan said.
“Please fire Dabo..it’s time,” a second fan wrote. “I’m sorry but it’s time.”
“Fire Dabo NOW,” a third fan commented.
“Dabo Swinney has stated numerous times that he’s against NIL If he can’t adapt then Clemson needs to fire him,” another fan argued. “I think he’s a great football coach and would have success in the NFL, but the college game is a lot different now.”

Swinney, a two-time national champion, has accomplished remarkable things at Clemson since taking over the program in 2009.
At the end of the day though, Swinney has struggled to adapt in the NIL era of college football.
Should Clemson fire Swinney this offseason?

Oregon redshirt sophomore quarterback Austin Novosad plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, according to a report from ESPN’s Pete Thamel on Saturday afternoon.
Novosad, a native of Dripping Springs, Texas, spent three seasons at Oregon and appeared in seven games. During that span, he completed 12 of 15 passes for 99 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
Novosad waited his turn in Eugene throughout that time. He learned behind Bo Nix during his true freshman season in 2023 and Dillon Gabriel in 2024. Novosad remained with the program losing the spring quarterback competition to Dante Moore, and played very little during his third season with the program.
A member of the 2023 recruiting class, he was the No. 113 overall prospect and the No. 10 quarterback in the cycle, per the Rivals Industry Ranking, a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all of the primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 21 player from the state of Texas that year.
Novosad is set to have have two years of eligibility at the next school he attends. He used a redshirt during his true freshman season.
As a high schooler, he completed 563-of-873 passes (64.5%) for 8,983 yards and 114 touchdowns compared to 18 interceptions during a three-year career at the varsity level. He had three games where he finished with seven touchdowns, as well as one six-touchdown game, and six separate games where he threw five touchdowns. Novosad was recruited by the likes of Ohio State, Texas A&M and Baylor, among others. A one-time Baylor commit, he flipped late to the Ducks before National Signing Day.
More on the NCAA Transfer Portal
Once the NCAA transfer portal opens on Jan. 2, players can officially enter their names in the NCAA transfer portal and go on to initiate contact with their preferred schools. The portal will be open for 15 days and close on Jan. 16.
Notably, players who are on teams competing in the national championship game are allowed five extra days to make their portal decision. The College Football Playoff championship game will be played on Jan. 19, so the players on those teams will be allowed until Jan. 24 to enter the portal and choose their next school.

James Madison completed a historic 2025 campaign, capturing the Sun Belt title and earning the program’s first-ever College Football Playoff berth before a first-round loss to Oregon.
Even with the postseason loss, the Dukes finished ranked inside the top 25 and reinforced their status as one of the fastest-rising programs in the FBS after transitioning from the FCS in 2022.
The team’s biggest contributor was junior running back Wayne Knight.
Across the season, he totaled 1,373 rushing yards on 207 carries (6.6 yards per carry) with nine rushing touchdowns and added 40 receptions for 397 receiving yards, producing 1,770 all-purpose yards.
Knight posted multiple 100-yard rushing games, set a school record with 234 all-purpose yards in the Sun Belt championship (including a 212-yard rushing effort), became a Paul Hornung Award finalist, earned first-team All–Sun Belt honors, and garnered All-American recognition from select outlets.
However, on Saturday, Knight announced his intention to enter the NCAA transfer portal.
Early reporting has already linked him to several Power Five programs, with Yahoo Sports explicitly naming No. 1-ranked Indiana as a logical fit.
Knight redshirted in 2023 before establishing himself as James Madison’s primary back in 2024, totaling 449 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns while adding 137 receiving yards and two receiving scores ahead of his breakout 2025 campaign.
Knight signed with James Madison in December 2021, choosing the Dukes over more than a dozen other scholarship offers, including Delaware, Navy, Brown, Howard, and Maine.
Hoosiers head coach Curt Cignetti is the central link in the Knight to Indiana storyline.
Before taking the Indiana job in 2024, Cignetti led James Madison to an 8–3 record in 2022 and an 11–1 finish in 2023, reaching as high as No. 18 in the AP poll.
Knight played under Cignetti during both seasons and was originally recruited to JMU by him.
For Cignetti and Indiana, adding a high-production, battle-tested running back would bolster depth and special teams for a program now competing at the highest level.

Late Friday night, Michigan made it official. Kyle Whittingham will take over as the next Wolverines head coach, and he released his first public statement.
News broke earlier Friday that Whittingham would replace Sherrone Moore as Michigan head coach. He previously announced his plans to step down as Utah head coach after a decorated run, becoming the winningest coach in program history. Michigan confirmed he is signing a five-year contract.
In Friday’s announcement, Whittingham and athletics director Warde Manuel released statements. Whittingham pointed to the tradition in Ann Arbor and high standard as he takes over the program.
“We are honored to lead the outstanding student-athletes, coaches, and staff who represent Michigan Football each day,” Whittingham said in a statement. “Michigan is synonymous with tradition and excellence – both on the field and beyond – and our entire program is committed to upholding those values while striving for greatness together.
“My family and I are thrilled to join the University of Michigan community, and we look forward to helping our players grow, develop, and reach their highest potential – on the gridiron, in the classroom, and as leaders. It’s a privilege to be part of something that inspires pride in every Wolverine fan. Go Blue!”
Whittingham replaced Urban Meyer as Utah head coach in 2005 and amassed a 177-88 overall record at the helm – the most wins in Utes history. He initially joined the program in 1994, starting out as defensive line coach ad becoming the Utes’ defensive coordinator in 1995. When Meyer left for Florida in 2005, Whittingham took over as head coach.
Although he announced he’d step down as Utah coach, Whittingham made it clear he wasn’t necessarily done coaching. Now, he’ll prepare to head to Ann Arbor and take over a Michigan team which underwent a major shakeup this month.
“Kyle Whittingham is a well-respected and highly successful head coach who is widely recognized as a leader of exceptional character and principled leadership,” Manuel said in a statement. “Throughout our search, he consistently demonstrated the qualities we value at Michigan: vision, resilience, and the ability to build and sustain championship-caliber teams.
“Kyle brings not only a proven track record of success, but also a commitment to creating a program rooted in toughness, physicality, discipline and respect – where student-athletes and coaches represent the university with distinction both on and off the field. We are excited to welcome Kyle to the University of Michigan family as he takes the helm of our football program.”

D-O-Double G is back for his second year hosting a college football bowl game.
In what was one of the more distinct bowl experiences last season, Snoop Dogg’s eponymously named Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl is set for its second edition on Saturday, Dec. 27 between the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks and Fresno State Bulldogs inside Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona.
The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl is the second main sporting event that Snoop Dogg will be a part of this week, as he performed during halftime of Game 2 of the Netflix-NFL’s Christmas doubleheader between the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.
Here’s what to know on how Snoop Dogg came to have his own college football bowl game:
How did Snoop Dogg get his own college football bowl game?
Snoop Dogg signed a partnership deal with the Arizona Bowl — founded by the Arizona Sports and Entertainment Commission in 2015 — to be the bowl game’s title and presenting sponsor.
As part of his multi-year sponsorship deal, which was signed in May 2024, Snoop Dogg’s alcoholic beverage — Gin & Juice by Dre and Snoop — serve as the presenting sponsor of the bowl game as well.
“College football fans are exhausted by the talk around NIL, conference realignment, coach movement, transfer portal and super conferences. So it is time we get back to the roots of college football, when it was focused on the colleges, the players, the competition, the community, the fan experience, and the pageantry,” Snoop Dogg said in a video posted on his personal X (formerly Twitter) when he announced his partnership in 2024. “…It’s only fitting that I step up and help this thing right. I’m ready to bring the juice back to college football.”
Snoop Dogg isn’t the first celebrity to be a presenting sponsor of a college football bowl game. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel, host of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” used to be the sponsor of the LA Bowl.
Snoop Dogg was heavily involved with the game and corresponding events in last year’s inaugural bowl game, even interviewing Miami (Ohio) coach Chuck Martin at halftime live on The CW Network.
The 2025 Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl marks the second consecutive trip for Miami (Ohio) to Tucson, Arizona for the bowl game.
“We couldn’t be more excited to go back to Arizona,” Martin said at a media availability on Monday, Dec. 8. “… Where do you get to go to a bowl (game) and you get to be around for five minutes (with) one of the biggest icons in the history of the world (in Snoop Dogg)?”
Added Martin: “We were dying to get back there and we can’t wait to get back there.”
Who is competing in the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl 2025?
Miami (Ohio) and Fresno State are competing in the 2025 Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl. It’s the second consecutive season the RedHawks will play in the game.
Where is the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl?
- Location: Arizona Stadium (Tucson, Ariz.)
The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl will once again take place at Arizona Stadium, the home of the Big 12 Conference’s University of Arizona Wildcats, in Tucson, Arizona.
Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl time today
- Date: Saturday, Dec. 27
- Time: 4:30 p.m. ET (2:30 p.m. MT)
Miami (Ohio) and Fresno State will kick off at 4:30 p.m. ET (2:30 p.m. local time) on Saturday, Dec. 27.
