In the latest rankings of the women's college basketball transfer portal, several elite players are seeking new opportunities as they prepare to embark on their professional careers in the WNBA Draft. These players, hailed as absolute superstars in the world of women's college basketball, are highly sought after by teams looking to bolster their rosters.

Ranked at the top of the list is Raegan Beers, a sophomore forward from Oregon State. Beers' exceptional efficiency in the post, shooting an impressive 66.4% from the field in the 2023-24 season, propelled her to the number one spot. Not only did she showcase her scoring prowess, but she also averaged a double-double with 17.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. With two seasons of eligibility remaining, Beers becomes a rare find for any team lucky enough to secure her services.

Following closely behind Beers is Kiki Iriafen, a junior forward from Stanford. Iriafen's consistently stellar performance throughout the season earned her the title of the best player in the transfer portal with one year of eligibility left. With impressive averages of 19.4 points and 11 rebounds per game, she proved to be as productive as her teammate Cameron Brink, who is projected as a top-five selection in the upcoming WNBA Draft. Iriafen has the potential to be a game-changer for any team that lands her.

Georgia Amoore, a graduate transfer guard from Virginia Tech, secured the third spot in the rankings. Amoore showcased her skills by averaging 18.8 points and 6.8 assists per game in the 2023-24 season. Joining her former coach, Kenny Brooks, at the University of Kentucky for her final year of eligibility, Amoore's addition to the roster is a significant gain for the Wildcats.

Grace VanSlooten, a talented sophomore forward from Oregon, comes in at the fourth spot. Despite her team's struggles in Pac-12 play, VanSlooten demonstrated her ability to contribute with 15 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. She is expected to make a big impact at Michigan State University.

Rounding out the top five is Timea Gardiner, another talented sophomore forward from Oregon State. Gardiner played a crucial role in her team's deep run to the Elite Eight and displayed her skills by averaging 11.6 points and 7 rebounds per game. With Oregon State making a move to the WCC, Gardiner will be seeking a new home in one of the major conferences.

These rankings provide a glimpse into the talent and potential available in the transfer portal for women's college basketball. Young players like Lucy Olsen, Taliah Scott, Laila Phelia, Liza Karlen, and Liatu King also exhibit extraordinary skills and have attracted interest from teams looking to enhance their rosters with versatile and talented players.

As the transfer portal continues to evolve, these rankings serve as a snapshot of the players who could make an immediate impact and change the trajectory of a team's success. With visits already scheduled and interest from top schools, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining where these elite players will land and contribute to the future of women's college basketball.
