The new coach at URI, Colleen Mullen, is bringing in 3 transfers who played for her at the University of Albany. Amaya Stewart (12.2 ppg, 5,1 rpg), Martina Borrellis 9.8 ppg), and Anais Levasseur (1.9 ppg).

Drexel’s Deja Evans (9.8 ppg, 6.4 rpg) has committed to Saint Joseph’s.

Also, Aaron Roussell has left Richmond to taken on the head coaching job at UVA, a well-deserved promotion. He’s been replaced by Alisa Kresge, the Vermont head coach for the past eight seasons. She’s the 5th new A10 head coach for the 2026-27 season, and we may not be through yet.

Other than that, the A10 transfer activity has been quiet.

Women add their 1st transfer of the offseason from Coach G's past stop at Colgate:

5'8 G Anne Bair

https://x.com/GW_WBB/status/2043812950910144719

Appears to have one year left and averaged 13 ppg + 3.7 apg last year.

 

She only played 3 games last year. Played 1, got hurt, came back but only played 2 more games (or played 2 and back for 1). Either way, foot injury sidelined her for the rest of the year. Averaged over 11 pts as a junior.

Backcourt seems to be well stocked for next year. Need to bolster the frontline with only 1 HS big signed and none returning. Fortunately, there are 55,000 players available in the portal and some are 6’1” or taller.

The URI Rams are going to look a lot like Albany next year. 5’7” Soph Delanie Hill (14 ppg, 3.5 rpg) is also headed to Kingston.

Memphis Jr. Cori Allen (6.5 ppg, 4.4 rpg) has committed to Dayton.

Bucknell’s Desirae Ashton (3.7 ppg) has committed to George Mason.

On the flip side:

URI’s Vanessa Harris is headed to Florida to join Tammi Reiss.

And Alexa Kinas leaves Chicago Loyola for Tulsa.

Good news always welcome - more bigs and a super point guard could help.  I liked Mia, but her shot wasn't good enough, but she was only a freshman so I had hopes.

With the WBB portal set to close today, roughly 74% of the entries have yet to formally commit to new schools, so the recruitment/commitment process will go on for a while. There hasn’t been a ton of action in the A10 so far, but in addition to what has already happened, here are a few of the key transactions that have taken place:

In:
UCF’s Summer Yancey (6.4 ppg, 4.2 rpg) has committed to George Mason.
Niagara Sophomore Jordyn Williams (4.6 ppg) has committed to Saint Bonaventure.
St. Johns Kyla Hays (1.5 ppg) is headed to Saint Bonaventure.
Syracuse’s Madeline Potts (3.5 ppg) headed to Saint Joseph’s.

Out:
George Mason’s Louis Volker is headed to DePaul.

In:

Alabama Forward Lourdes Da Silva Costa (2 ppg) has committed to George Mason.
Loyola Chicago Forward Roisin Grandberry (1.2 ppg) has also committed to George Mason.

Out:

George Mason All A10 Guard Kennedy Harris, joins Zahirah Walton at West Virginia.
VCU Senior Mary-Anna Asare (17.4 ppg), a preseason All A10 selection who sat out the last 24 games of the season due to injury is headed to Virginia to play for Coach Roussell (formerly of Richmond).

GW has picked up Richmond Sophomore Guard Alicia Newell (7.2 ppg, 3.5 rpg). She started 31 games this past season on probably the most talented team in the A10. Seems like a really good get.

Chicago Loyola's ’s Alex-Anne Bessette is transferring up, headed for Iowa State and the Big 12.

This seems like a really good get and a very good portal season so far for Coach G

GW has landed Sophomore Cam Rust (2.0 ppg, 1.6 rpg), a 6’1” Forward from Seton Hall. Rust played 7.3 minutes per game for the Pirates, and had similar productivity in her freshman year at Penn State. Coming out of high school, she was a Top-100 player on several ratings agencies, including ESPN’s Watch List.
