Clemson women's basketball transfer portal tracker 2024: Who's in, out for Shawn Poppie

CLEMSON —  It's a new era for Clemson women's basketball as first-year coach Shawn Poppie takes the helm in the team's 50th season.

After the firing of Amanda Butler on March 12, the Tigers lost their two leading scorers, Dayshanette Harris and Amari Robinson, to expiring eligibility, and Imari Berry, who would have been the highest-rated recruit in program history, decommitted. Poppie retained Maddi Cluse for her senior season but has been using the transfer portal to rebuild Clemson's roster ahead of the 2024-25 season.

"When you come watch us and you're around our program, you will feel 'it,'" Poppie said at his introductory news conference. "If we feel 'it' — how are we loving on each other, what’s our energy level, are we competing, are we doing the things that it takes to win games? — the results will take care of themselves."

The portal was open until May 1 for undergraduate and graduate transfers, and there is no deadline for portal players to commit to a new program.

Here's a look at who is joining and leaving Clemson women's basketball via the transfer portal.
