Sweeney is going to surprise a lot of people this year as she steps into a more direct scoring role.
Looking into next season - women's basketball
- Thread starter spiderstudent17
- Start date
Her confidence is building. You can see it. Ullstrom, Sweeney and Doogan are elite level shooters
Losing by only 1 to the winner was actually impressive.

Wow great stuff. Only non power conference school represented.
According to this transfer portal tracker, Spiders land commitment from Skylah Travis. 6’3” grad student who started career at ODU in 2020-2021 and then transferred to Mizzou and last year transferred to Louisiana in Sun Belt. Averaged 5.6 PPG and 6.6 PPG at Louisiana.

On3 2024-2025 Women's Basketball Transfer Portal Tracker
Here is where On3 will keep a running list of each women's college basketball player who enters the portal and where they eventually end up.
Redshirted her frosh year at ODU with a knee injury, then spent three years at Mizzou but only appeared in four games that first year, nothing in the other two. Not sure if that was more injury issues or if she was just down the bench. More of a role last year at Louisiana, appearing in 18 games and averaging 15 minutes.
Not sure if she’ll have one year or two remaining given this will be her sixth year in college, depends on how many medical hardship waivers she can get.

No idea what to make of this one. Never played at ODU. Barely played at all (4 games and no minutes basically) at Missouri. Seemed to disappear for two years after that before showing up at Louisiana last year where she was listed as a grad student. Only on Missou roster for one year. Did see a reference that she was headed to a community college but no evidence she actually played there! Numbers were OK last year at Louisiana but only played half a season or so and only 14 min a game. Given the limited time, the numbers were ok - - - but thats a level (or three) below us.
I guess she adds some size and maybe some back up minutes, but overall, I am a little disappointed in our portal work given the strong season and pre-season hype for next. Really think we need at least one wing who can take Hill/Jiminez 3 and d role and while both the portal adds seem to add some size and toughness, they don't seem to fit our system. Budnik and Camden could shoot it and handle on the perimeter etc. and both really fit our system. Plus, Budnik could really defend inside and out. I am worried about both our perimeter defense and our shooting. It appears we are really counting on Richard to step up - - - hope she is up to the task! Sweeney certainly made a huge leap from year 1 to 2 and I think we need the same from Richard.

Agree with you Philly. Would’ve expected more starter level transfers given our success the past 2 years and our hype next season. I imagine we will have a bench player or incoming freshmen get significant minutes, but would really like someone to fill Budnik’s role as much as possible. Travis and Simon both could be really solid role players and I like their size and ability to get rebounds, but we need scorers. I think we have 2 spots left.
