The transfer portal giveth, and the transfer portal taketh away. But as the Minnesota Gophers women’s basketball team is learning this spring, the taking away is much more difficult to deal with. Minnesota was dealt a massive blow on Thursday when star junior Sara Scalia announced she was entering the transfer portal for her final two years of eligibility.
Scalia joins fellow 2021-22 starter Kadi Sissoko in jumping into the portal just after the end of the season. They follow starting point guard Jasmine Powell who entered the portal during the season and has already announced she will be transferring to women’s powerhouse Tennessee for her final two years of eligibility.
