Hailey Van Lith will play her final year of college basketball at TCU, multiple outlets reported Thursday. Van Lith started at Louisville for three seasons before transferring to LSU for the 2023-24 campaign. The defending champion Tigers lost to Iowa and Caitlin Clark in the Elite Eight, and Van Lith entered the NCAA transfer portal again. The guard also visited Mississippi State last week. Bulldogs coach Sam Purcell recruited Van Lith at Louisville when he was an assistant coach there. In her single season at LSU, Van Lith averaged 11.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in 33 games (all starts). In her career, she has averages of 14.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 134 games (133 starts). Former Fresno State and Miami standout Haley Cavinder, who took last season off from basketball, had committed to TCU. Instead, she announced Thursday that she would join her twin, Hanna, in returning to the Hurricanes. The Horned Frogs finished 21-12 (6-12 Big 12) in the 2022-23 season. --Field Level Media
