Aalyah Del Rosario is listed as high priority for S. Carolina as Boston's replacement.

Thought Cardoso was going to be her eventual replacement?
Cardosa should have stayed here along with Williams. FLJ would have prepared both of them for the WNBA, and life.

Velez is a 5’7 PG. She was considered the #21 best prospect in the class of 2023 by one service.
Originally from the Bronx. Played the last 2 years of HS in Tennessee, where she was named the player of the year in the state.
I believe she starts from day one. Very talented and exciting player.

Didn't play much at LSU as a freshman, but still a very nice roster addition for FLJ. Congrats.Velez is a 5’7 PG. She was considered the #21 best prospect in the class of 2023 by one service.

She is a very exciting player. I was hopeful that she would have committed to us last year instead of LSU. This is the perfect situation for her to thrive and I think she is a day one starter as well!Velez is a 5’7 PG. She was considered the #21 best prospect in the class of 2023 by one service.

I think she is right with another really good HA AA type center. She is also from the Bronx and went to a Tennessee with Angelica. They both ended up at LSU.
She is staying there for now. Would not be surprised if she ends up here as well down the road.
Aalyah Del Rosario has game too. 6’6.

Velez is great pick up, solidifies PG position with Camp. Playing at LSU, she never got a chance to showcase her talent. Smart move to transfer as the Witch never develops talent. She would have stayed buried on the bench.
Now if we can find some height. Like Varejao but will she be healthy enough for a full season.

I thought Camp had entered the portal but I had her confused with McEvans. These two could make a nice PG tandem.

Nothing to add from my lunch. They were surprised this broke already. The belief is they are trying to get a big.

Another FLJ get. Hard to replace Fair but we'll get there.

Angelica Velez played high school basketball at The Webb School (TN), where she was a four-star prospect. While there, Velez led her team to back-to-back state championships as a junior and senior. For her efforts, she was named the 2023 Division II-A Miss Tennessee Basketball Player of the Year.
LSU women's basketball team loses freshman point guard to NCAA transfer portal
LSU women's basketball freshman point guard Angelica Velez is entering the NCAA transfer portal.
LSU women's basketball freshman Angelica Velez has entered the NCAA transfer portal, a source confirmed Monday.
Velez, a 5-foot-7 point guard from the Bronx, New York, was ESPN's No. 44 ranked prospect in the 2023 recruiting class. During her freshman season, she played only 111 total minutes after appearing in 23 games.
She was one of four players who LSU signed to its top-ranked freshman class, alongside Mikaylah Williams, Aalyah Del Rosario and Janae Kent.
Velez is now the second Tiger to enter the transfer portal this offseason. Starting point guard Hailey Van Lith decided to transfer on Thursday after spending only one season in Baton Rouge.
