The NCAA transfer portal opened Monday after the 2025-26 women’s basketball season.
Tennessee’s season ended March 20 after being eliminated in the NCAA Tournament first round by North Carolina State.
The Lady Vols finished their 2025-26 campaign with a 16-14 (8-8 SEC) record under second-year head coach Kim Caldwell. Tennessee also ended its season with an eight-game losing streak.

“You can’t play this style of play and put in a plan B, and we put in a plan B,” Caldwell said after the Tennessee-North Carolina State game on March 20. “I think when you do that, you lose your identity. You lose your buy-in, you lose your staff a little bit. There’s falter from the top. That’s from me and I did that in the middle of the season. I know better than to do that and it was the worst year of my professional career.
“Our players deserved better than that from me, and you learn from that going forward. You build with that, exactly like Coop (Talaysia Cooper) said. You build with that, people around you that know what we’re doing and are all in.”
Below is a tracker for the Lady Vols’ incoming and outgoing basketball transfers following the 2025-26 season.
