Coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin is a self-proclaimed ‘portalista’. She found Ohio State transfer Cotie McMahon in the portal last season, and it paid off. McMahon averaged a team-high 19.5 points in her final season of eligibility.

The transfer portal opens April 6 and closes April 20, but players can declare their intentions early. Here’s who is in, out for Ole Miss.
