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.

Sure would be nice to get her 6’6” former LSU and high school teammate Aalyah Del Rosario.

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!

We get a big recruit commitment yesterday… and not a peep about it in the Post Standard! We know when a recruit on the men’s basketball team blows his nose, yet we have extremely poor coverage of Women’s Hoops. We all need to write the Paper and demand more coverage! This is ridiculous!

Yes, the coverage is poor but also the player has not posted the move or syracuse wbb.

Speaking of poor coverage, Cuse wbb does a poor job. Pretty much every school that has players in WNBA have been highlighting them and wishing them luck. Pains me to see Loserville wish Emily well.

Why no shout out for "Slim"? She gave an interview the other and she talk about a meditation class at SU with Devo. Zen Devo!

The portal has now given us a tough, savvy PG from NYC for the men and women’s teams.

Why not add one more?

I am sure Red Autry and Allen Griffin would agree that you can never have enough PGs from the city on your team…..
