Both Avery Howell and Kayleigh Heckel from USC seem to be heading to the portal. They were both on the radar screen from the class of 2024. Howell is listed as 6'0" although we had her at 5'11" during the recruiting cycle. Heckel is listed at 5'9". To be honest, I didn't watch USC enough to have an opinion on how each defends, as it seems like a critical need for next season is someone who can be a solid on-ball defender. I like that Howell can shoot though.

Howell's stats: 3 starts, 8.5 PPG, 21.8 MPG, 46.2% from the field (and 50-115 from 3), 24 assists to 11 turnovers, 84.8% from the line.

Heckel's stats: 2 starts, 5.3 PPG, 16.5 MPG, 41.9% from the field (and 9-37 from 3), 50 assists to 32 turnovers, 76.5% from the line.
