Right around quitting time Monday afternoon, Kim Mulkey and staff got a real unpleasant surprise when it was reported by On3’s Talia Goodman that redshirt sophomore forward Sa’Myah Smith is entering her name into the transfer portal.
As always a player can take their name out of the portal. The portal opened March 25 and will close April 23.
This is a real shocker for LSU. Smith has been with the program for three years and was a key contributor off the bench during LSU’s run to the national championship in the 2022-23 season. She earned SEC All-Freshman honors and played in all 36 games that year.
