HerHoopStats analysis on Class of 2019 Transfers

[BRS24]

Breaking down the transfer portal

What tracking the movement of the 2019 top 100 recruits tells us about the transfer portal

The top four players in the class, Haley Jones, Jordan Horston, Aliyah Boston and Zia Cooke, all remained with the team they originally committed to.​

​

South Carolina and Stanford had the first and second-ranked classes in the country, respectively, each with four highly rated prospects. The two programs were the only ones with four 2019 recruits that retained them for all four years. The Cardinal won the NCAA championship in 2021 and the Gamecocks did so in 2022 with those players.​

​

In contrast, Duke, USC and Mississippi State all had three or more top 100 recruits from the 2019 class. None of those players remain with the team they originally committed to.​

​

Rounding out the top 9, here are the transfers:
5 - Rickea Jackson Mississippi State to Tennessee
6 - Samantha Brunelle Notre Dame to Virginia
7 - Ashley Owusu Maryland to Penn St
8 - Kierstan Bell Ohio State to FGCU
9 - Aijha Blackwell Missouri to Baylor

Not surprisingly all 3 of Duke/USC/Mississippi State had coaching changes.

2020 had 20 out of the top 30 players transfer out which has to be a record. 2021 has been a much more loyal class so far.

Very interesting analysis. Hoping Her Hoops Stats do something similar for the 2020 class for comparison.
