Shortly after UCLA clinched its first national championship in program history with a dominant 79-51 win over South Carolina, the NCAA Womens Basketball transfer portal officially opened. The portal will remain open from April 6 to April 20, giving athletes a brief window to explore new opportunities. This year's transfer pool is especially deep, featuring some of the sport's brightest stars who are set to make a major impact on the 2026-27 college basketball season. Heres a look at the most notable players who have entered the portal so far: Aaliyah Crump, F, Fr. Transferring from Texas Lined up to be the No. 1 shooter after Madison Booker's departure, Crump entered the transfer portal after her lone season with Texas. Despite her lingering injury throughout the season, her talent is evident, and she can make an immediate impact when healthy. Mia Pauldo, G, Fr. Transferring from Tennessee In the wake of Tennessee's mass loss to the transfer portal, the Vols lost a star freshman guard in Pauldo. In her rookie season, Pauldo recorded 10.1 points per game. Her talent was proven in just one season, and she has a high ceiling regardless of her next team. Mia Woolfolk, F, So. Transferring from Georgia Woolfolk's height paired with her talent makes her an intriguing player in the portal. In her second season with the Bulldogs, Woolfolk averaged 13.9 points per game. Jordan Lee, G, So. Transferring from Texas Finishing second in scoring on the Longhorns' roster, Lee helped lead Texas to two Final Four appearances. A team looking for a strong shooter will be a comfortable fit for the standout guard. Liv McGill, G, So. Transferring from Florida McGill stands out as one of the higher-value players in the portal after she finished last season averaging 22.5 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. The former five-star prospect was the only player in the nation to average over 20 points, six rebounds and six assists this season. Kiyomi McMiller, G, So. Transferring from Penn State McMiller is departing from Penn State after its head coaching change. Her 21.6 points per game this season make her a solid target in the portal. Dani Carnegie, G, So. Transferring from Georgia Carnegie was one of Georgia's most versatile players. She led the team in scoring with 17.8 points per game, adding 5.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per contest. Carnegie enters the portal as an offensive threat with plenty of room to grow. Kymora Johnson, G, So. Transferring from Virginia Helping the Cavaliers reach the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2000, Johnson has elected to enter the transfer portal and is one of the top guards in the class. Johnson averaged 19.1 points, 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds last season. Look for Dawn Staley and South Carolina to draw fast interest in Johnson. Zamareya Jones, G, So. Transferring from NC State Jones is coming off a breakout season with NC State, notching 14.6 points per contest in 31 games (30 starts). Based on her improvement in just one season, Jones could provide immediate production with her new team. Tilda Trygger, F, So. Transferring from NC State Trygger announced her decision to enter the portal after recording 10.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game this season with the Wolfpack. Trygger, a forward with plenty of potential, will look to join a team that will allow her physical playing style and strong shooting range to flourish. Hilary Fuller, F, So. Transferring from Belmont The 6-foot-2 sophomore guard averaged 14.0 points per game with the Bruins last season and enters the portal with two years of eligibility remaining. Fuller is talented in a fast-paced offense and is dangerous in the paint. Audi Crooks, C, Jr. Transferring from Iowa State Crooks the second-leading scorer in the nation, who averaged 25.8 points per game is a force in the paint. At 6-foot-3, Crooks is a dominant post presence who should make a big impact wherever she lands. Taryn Barbot, G, Jr. Transferring from Charleston Barbot's standout season earned her a place as one of Charleston's all-time shooters. Her ability to attack the rim and her 3-point shooting is something to note for her next team. Skylar Forbes, F, Jr. Transferring from Marquette With one season of eligibility remaining, Forbes will look for a perfect fit that can compliment all her strengths. Forbes finished the season averaging 15.5 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. Gracie Merkle, C, Jr. Transferring from Penn State The 6-foot-6 center is entering the transfer portal for her third time in her college career. Merkle finished with a 72.1% shooting percentage this season the best single-season shooting average in program history and averaged 15.1 points per game. Nunu Agara, F, Jr. Transferring from Stanford Agara was one of the Cardinal's most dominant players, averaging 15.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game this season. She enters the portal with one season of eligibility left. Jada Williams, G, Jr. Transferring from Iowa State Williams played one season with the Cyclones after spending two seasons with Arizona. The star forward notched career highs in multiple categories, including points (15.3), assists (7.7) and shooting percentage (41.7%). Addy Brown, F, Jr. Transferring from Iowa State Joining Crooks and Williams in the portal, Brown elected to transfer with one season of eligibility left. The 6-foot-2 junior averaged 11.9 points, 8.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game last season. Achol Akbot, F, Jr. Transferring from Oklahoma State to North Carolina The 6-foot-1 forward averaged 12.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game for the Cowgirls last season. Akbot has the talent to become a versatile player and could be a steal in the portal. Essence Cody, F, Sr. Transferring from Alabama As one of Alabama's strongest offensive players, Cody will enter the portal for her final season of eligibility. She recorded 11.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game this season and will certainly draw interest from numerous teams.

NEW DELHI: When will MS Dhoni return? When will he play his next game? When will he be back in a Chennai Super Kings jersey? The questions keep mounting every time CSK take the field.Dhoni was ruled out for two weeks just ahead of the teams opening match of the season. However, there is still no clarity over his return, with the veteran yet to feature this season due to a calf strain.All eyes were on CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad when he walked out for the toss at a packed MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, with fans eagerly waiting for an update on Dhoni.Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel won the toss and opted to field."We would like to bowl first because the pitch looks good, and whatever score is set, we would prefer to chase it. The IPL is a long tournament and the dressing room atmosphere is very relaxed. The discussion has been around focusing on what we can control, once we reach a certain point, theres no need to overthink things. So thats been the mindset, control whats in our hands. The mood is good. If you look at the balance of our side, we have almost all bases covered," Axar said at the toss."Obviously, based on the options we had, I think weve picked a very good combination. Compared to last year, the team looks more balanced and hopefully, we perform well today. As for the surface, it has been a good batting wicket this season. Over the last couple of years in Chennai, it has played well. Its a red soil pitch, so there should be good bounce. Our aim will be to restrict them to as low a total as possible and then chase it down. There are two changes. Nabi comes in for Vipraj, and Ashutosh Sharma replaces Nitish Rana," he added.When Ruturaj took the mic, the CSK fans greeted him with a loud roar. Ravi Shastri quizzed him on the toss, team combination, and the big question around Dhoni."The pitch does look a bit on the drier side. We were actually 50-50 about the toss, but its good to back ourselves. The aim is to put our best foot forward today, get that first win and get on the points table. Thats what weve been trying over the last couple of games as well," Ruturaj said."Like I mentioned in the press conference, weve been improving in all departments. The batting has been doing really well, its just a few key moments where weve missed out, and those are the areas we need to capitalise on. But overall, everyone is in a good space and really eager to go. When you look at the balance of the side, we are definitely playing to our potential. Its great to have Brevis back, hes excited and ready. The middle order looks solid as well. Weve also brought in Gurjapneet Singh, who has been bowling well recently, in place of Matt Edwards," he said. IPL (@IPL) "For those asking about MS Dhoni, hes at the hotel watching and supporting us. But yes, very soon, youll see him out on the ground," he added.Teams:Chennai Super Kings (Playing XI): Sanju Samson(w), Ruturaj Gaikwad(c), Ayush Mhatre, Sarfaraz Khan, Shivam Dube, Dewald Brevis, Jamie Overton, Noor Ahmad, Anshul Kamboj, Gurjapneet Singh, Khaleel AhmedDelhi Capitals (Playing XI): Pathum Nissanka, KL Rahul(w), Sameer Rizvi, Axar Patel(c), David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Auqib Nabi Dar, Lungi Ngidi, Kuldeep Yadav, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar 130194421Here are the Impact substitutes for both the teams:Delhi Capitals Impact Subs: Vipraj Nigam, Ashutosh Sharma, Karun Nair, Dushmantha Chameera, Nitish RanaChennai Super Kings Impact Subs: Matthew Short, Akeal Hosein, Kartik Sharma, Prashant Veer, Matt Henry

Liverpool icon Ian Rush has let slip a fascinating secret from his playing days Sir Alex Ferguson once tried to bring him to Manchester United.The 64-year-old made the revelation while chatting at Aintree on Friday, where both football legends were enjoying the horse racing.When asked by ITV whether he respected what Rush achieved during his career, Ferguson couldn't resist a playful jab: "Absolutely, I hated him. He's a top man."Rush then dropped the bombshell about Ferguson's approach back in 1988."When I was coming back from Juventus he tried to sign me," the former Wales striker revealed. "By the way, he is a legend of managers, Scottish managers are the best."It could have been a very different story for Rush, who'd spent six brilliant years at Anfield before heading to Juventus in 1987.His Italian adventure lasted just one season, and Ferguson who'd arrived at Old Trafford from Aberdeen in 1986 was keen to snap him up for his forward line.Two great reds in two different guises Alex Ferguson and Ian Rush - an unlikely combination #ITVRacing | #MUFC | #LFC pic.twitter.com/uBRxEI6HEv ITV Racing (@itvracing) April 10, 2026 Rush ultimately returned to Liverpool, but he could easily have joined the select group of players who've turned out for both clubs.That list includes some big names Paul Ince, Michael Owen and Peter Beardsley among the 10 who've worn both famous shirts.Rush went on to become Liverpool's all-time leading scorer, netting 339 goals in 654 appearances.Interestingly, Rush rates horse racing above golf as his second favourite sport after football."I love horse racing, I love everything about it, that's what it's all about," he said. "We love football and that but it's not golf for me, it's horse racing for that is second best."Ferguson shares that passion and has been a dedicated owner over the years, with horses including Caldwell Potter, Protektorat and L'Eau du Sud in his stable.The 84-year-old Scot, of course, went on to extraordinary success at United claiming 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League trophies across an incredible 1,500 matches in charge.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
