LSU Freshman Bella Hines Commits to TCU in Transfer Portal

The freshman guard bolsters a youth-heavy portal class targeting TCU's losses at guard.

Overview

  • Hines announced her move Sunday on Instagram, becoming the fifth transfer to join Mark Campbell's roster this offseason.
  • Hines projects as a defense-first guard for the Horned Frogs after leading LSU in charges taken and should see a bigger role in Fort Worth.
  • At LSU she played 33 games as a true freshman and averaged 4.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in about 13 minutes, shooting 45% from the field and over 37% from three.
  • TCU is rebuilding its backcourt after losing Olivia Miles to the WNBA, Maddie Scherr and Veronica Sheffey to graduation, and guards Donovyn Hunter and Taliyah Parker to transfers.
  • Her commitment continues TCU's tilt toward underclass transfers, with Lara Somfai, Lani Grant, Avery Hjelmstad and Jadyn Wooten already in the fold, and local reporting notes the staff could still add a wing-capable guard.
