I guess that I haven't been following the portal entrants for a while now but I thought that there is a deadline to enter, that was a couple of months ago, except for a coaching change. Yet it is posted a few comments ago that she entered the portal a couple of weeks ago.
So, did I miss the latest NCAA WBB portal changes due to NIL or any other financial changes?
It's been a long off season...

Welcome to the age of free agency I guess. Players can leave their team, enroll in their new school and then ask the coach if they have a spot available. The $$$ decisions probably were decided prior to the enrollment.

A player can enter the portal whenever they want. The portal does not close. The deadline to enter is to be able to play right away. Pierre recently entered so she shouldn’t be eligible to play. So we shall see
Well did she enter the portal ? I don’t think that’s what happened based on what I’ve read but I could be wrong.
Maybe it’s semantics, but I read where “her and Vanderbilt parted ways”. The release from Vanderbilt said it was determined it was in each others best interest to go different ways and she was no longer with the program. I haven’t seen it worded where she “entered the transfer portal”.
From the article posted it was stated she had to enroll at the University before contacting the coaches and being announced on the team. So is the work around that she’s essentially a walk on? It’s certainly an interesting case study.

There was another article that made it sound like Pierre was dismissed from the program. That may be why there's a loophole for her to leverage.

From an article by MItchell Northam earlier this month.
"
The question now for Pierre is, can she find a new program and can she play this upcoming season? By NCAA rules, doing so would require waivers granting special permission. The transfer portal closed in April and players who transfer after that date are supposed to sit out a full season before being eligible to take the court again.
However, multiple sources — including player agents and coaches around the SEC — told SB Nation that there are loopholes Pierre could potentially exploit to play this upcoming season. One way is to simply transfer to a new school, like any typical student, without having any contact with the basketball staff there. Then, once Pierre is accepted to and enrolled in that new school, she could be added to the roster as a walk-on and — hypothetically — be compensated with funds from revenue sharing made possible by the House Settlement.
Sources also said that the NCAA may be more willing to give Pierre a waiver to transfer and immediately play if Vanderbilt removed her from the team. On the flipside, if it was Pierre’s decision to leave the program, the NCAA is less likely to be empathetic when considering a waiver. The statement from Ralph ambiguously frames which party made the decision, or if it was mutual. However, Vandy247 reported that Pierre was “dismissed” from the team."
A top SEC women’s basketball player is now without a team. Can she enter the transfer portal?
Khamil Pierre is out at Vanderbilt. Despite the transfer portal being closed, loopholes may allow her to play next season.
