Overview
- Four Longhorns entered the transfer portal after the tournament exit, including Jordan Lee, Justice Carlton, Aaliyah Crump and Aaliyah Moore.
- Texas also loses starters Rori Harmon and Kyla Oldacre plus reserve Teya Sidberry to expired eligibility, stripping 63.1% of scoring and similar shares of minutes, assists and rebounds from last season.
- Madison Booker is the only top scorer confirmed to return, with Booker and Breya Cunningham the lone returning starters and guard Bryanna Preston a key holdover off the bench.
- Texas brings in the No. 1 five-player recruiting class, led by Addison Bjorn, Bri Crittendon, Aaliah Spaight, Amalia Holguin and UCLA flip Isi Etute, who has not yet signed.
- Injury factors shaped some departures, as Crump missed 15 games with a foot stress fracture and Moore sat the season after knee surgery, while Carlton said her move was not driven by NIL.
