Makes sense. Probably wasn’t ready to commit in time for Early Decision.
Thanks for the info about Sofilkanich from Bucknell. She’ll be highly sought after.
I see that there are over 1,000 players in the portal! Talia Goodman on Twitter is a great follow for all things WBB related. She provides regular updates about players entering the portal and which schools have shown an interest.
I don’t think we have a lot of chances with her, though. It is known that we have reached out to Faith Carson, a Sophomore 6-4 C from Ohio State. Don’t know the details. I do think though, that given how stacked our team looks for the next two years, we are only going to go for very good opportunities. I think Williams and Sofilkanich are a bit unrealistic. But I would be aware of Carson and Oliver. These transfers might have a real chance.
I saw that Columbia was listed as one of the schools who contacted Carson. A bit surprising considering Carson played a total of about 12 minutes her Freshman year and didn’t play at all this year (her Sophomore year) due to injury, I assume.
Who are the other two?… Williams and Oliver?
You must be referring to Grace Oliver… a 6’-1” Freshman who played at Colorado this year. Meg recruited her out of HS.
Grace played in 32 games, averaging 14 mins and 3.8 pts per game in a very competitive/deep Big 12. She shot 52% from the field and 39.5% from beyond the arc (15/38).
Yes, please refer to the Women offseason thread, I mentioned a few portal names last week there

Thanks for that clarification! I’ll comment on that thread… great research!
May I have some more information on the freshman named “Dix.” I must have missed the post. Thank you.
There is no much info about her. The confirmation comes from this website Tours to the US — Aussie Basketball Travellers from the company that organizes tours for australian basketball players, and how the Henderson sisters committed to Columbia. She is a 6’0" G from the same high school as the Henderson sisters, but I haven’t been able to find much more.
Many thanks. I see what you mean about the lack of information on her. However, her one on line film segment does suggest that she is an athletic player who can score.
Dix has one more year of high school, she’ll be coming in 2026.
Oh, good to know! There is not much info about her online, and what I found seemed to point out that she was part of the 2025 class. How do you know this, by the way?
It honestly makes more sense, a class of 5 incomers after 2 graduating seniors seemed a bit too large.
I ran into Greg Rosnick and Dix will be attending Blair Academy next year.
