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).

Also joining TCU next season via the transfer portal are Haley Cavinder, formerly of Fresno State and Miami, and Madison Conner, who shot 37.2 percent from 3-point range at Arizona last season.

The Horned Frogs finished 21-12 (6-12 Big 12) in the 2022-23 season.
