We all tend to focus on scoring, and it is certainly the most important part of the game.  But coaches like Geno know there’s a lot more to winning basketball games then just scoring the basketball.

The top 3 transfers this year imo were Gianna Kneepkins, Ta’Niya Latson & Serah Williams.  Kneepkins and Latson are both big time scorers, and that is primarily why they were brought in to UCLA & SC respectively.  But they really have to score to be impactful at their new schools.

Serah averaged 19.2 ppg on a bad Wisconsin team, and for her to be impactful at UConn, where she will be surrounded by great scorers, she doesn’t need to be a big time scorer.  Serah is one of the best rebounders in WBB, as well as an outstanding rim protector.  While she is a very capable scorer out to 15-20’, she is also an excellent screener and passer.

Her size, skill, versatility and athleticism make Serah the very best player in this past season’s transfer portal imo.  It will also make her a 1st round draft pick in 2026 and very likely one of the key contributors to UConn’s 13th national championship.
