Asjah Inniss in the portal. Not a huge surprise since she participated in Senior Day but still a hole to fill

GW's Jaylin Hartman is in the portal, not surprising given her limited role and lack of PT this season.
Also, Taylor Jameson a very capable guard from George Mason has also entered the portal (graduate transfer).

A10 Champion Richmond had 5 portal entries. Most notable:
Grace Townsend (graduate transfer) and
Siobhan Ryan (graduate student)
Both were starters and Townsend was All A10.

A10 has its Player of the Year and 2 All Rookie team members in transfer portal.  The below list is not complete and includes some non A10 teams.

Sara Te-Bisau VCU, A10 POY has entered the transfer portal.

Grace Townsend of Richmond is heading to North Carolina.  Several guards last year had success leaving the A10 for Power conference schools.  Not least of which was Anna DeWolfe starting for Norte Dame after her career at Fordham,  Sydney Taylor saw action in the NCAA tournament at Louisville, from UMass.  Another ex-Minutewoman, Ber'nyah Mayo retrurned the postseason with St John's.  And Chloe Welch left Davidson for WBIT team St Joe's.  In other Richmond news, Siobhan Ryan left the Spiders for Georgetown.  

George Mason picked up SO to be  6'1" Louis Volker from Missouri State.  She's from Purcellville, VA and Paul IV high school.

Two of the LaSalle eight have new schools.  Nicole Meliioius, All Rookie team, is heading to Seton Hall.  Gabby Turco, who started at St Anselm, is transferring to Rider.

Mallory Ramage left Loyola Chicago for D2 Lewis.

Kristen Williams is leaving UMass for Coastal Carolina.  Worse for the Minutewomen long-term is that Lilly Taulelei has entered the Transfer Portal., joining Alexsia Rose.  Taulelei was All Rookie team.

Dayton lost Anyassa Jones to Ohio and Taisya Koslova to Seattle.  She started her career at Maryland.  

Ali Brigham, after three good years at Penn State after leaving GW, is going closer to home finish her career at Bryant.  She started all 35 games for the WBIT semi finalist and was 8.8 ppg and 4.9 rpb.  Bryant was 15 - 15 under first year coach Lynne-Ann Kokoski who had been an assistant at UMass.  Bullogs also got 6'3" Maranda Nyborg from Fordham, and Mimi Rubino from a terrific Fairfield team, although I'm not sure she played last season.  

Northwesten struggled last year at 9 - 21, but already has help from the transfer portal - All Ivy First Team Kyla Jones, 5'8" GR from Bown, and Grace Sullivan, 6'4" from Bucknell, 8.8 ppg and 4.9 rpb.

And finally, Emily Jones, 12.5 ppg, left American for Wake Forest.  

A smattering of activity on the A10 front, but a couple of note:

VCU's Sarah Te-Biasu is headed to College Park and the Maryland Terrapins. 

Also, Duquesne's Tess Myers (grad xfer), entered the portal a while back.

 

Rev's Monica Marsh is headed to Trinity Valley Community College, so it appears the transfer may have been due to academic issues. All the best to her, and hopefully she can get back to D1 in the future.

Jameson/GMU goes home to Wichita and will play her Grad Year at Wichita State

Feels like the Trey Moss addition on the WBB side. Rebounding is good, she is a taller guard, and there certainly is a role for an alpha scorer given the loss of Robertson but this looks like a good stats/bad team situation - her team finished in last place in the Patriot.

For a SG, Andrews is a non-presence from three (career 24%, but at least recognizes that and doesn't take many, ~2 a game) and nothing really stands out defensively. Perhaps there is some upside given she's nearly 80% from the FT line (and a smaller role should improve efficiency), but four years of CBB is a pretty large sample size. The 42 assists to 90 turnovers would fit in very well on past McCombs squads - a player that doesn't really value taking care of the basketball and move the ball well enough to excuse three turnovers a game. That's one of the biggest improvements that has to be made next year and this doesn't fix that.

At this point, I feel like McCombs should change things up. Take a chance on a down transfer from the P6 ranks (I realize GW doesn't have probably any NIL on the WBB side, but some player with ability has to want a bigger opportunity). The up transfers have been mostly disappointing despite past production. Much like MBB, an interior presence/improved scoring inside needs to improve going into next season as well.

Having said that, I'm excited about any new addition to the team and am excited to see what Makayla can do in Buff & Blue. Welcome!
 

Tenin Magassa is heading to Illinois from Rhode Island.  The Illini are coached by her former Dayton coach Shaunna Green.  Magassa and Green left the Flyers in the same off-season, after two years together..
