Syracuse women's basketball is hosting numerous college transfers on visits to the Hill this weekend.

One is Maryland redshirt-junior forward Isimenme Ozzy-Momodu, who visited the Orange on Saturday, according to a post on X from 247Sports national analyst Dushawn London.

The 6-foot-3 Ozzy-Momodu hails from London and before playing for the Terrapins, she suited up for two seasons at Gulf Coast State, a prominent junior-college ("JUCO") program in Panama City, Fla.

During the 2025-26 season for Big Ten Conference member Maryland, Ozzy-Momodu averaged 18.3 minutes, 8.0 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game while making 57.4 percent from the field. The Terrapins went 24-9 overall this past term and reached the second round of the 2026 NCAA Tournament.

She took a redshirt in the 2024-25 campaign as she rehabbed an ACL injury. Before that, in 2023-24 at Gulf Coast State, Ozzy-Momodu averaged 16.7 points and 11.6 rebounds per contest while connecting on 73 percent from the field. She would be named a National Junior College Athletic Association ("NJCAA") third-team All-American.

Syracuse women's basketball had other visitors this weekend, too.

Two other college transfers have taken trips to the Orange this weekend, according to London. They are Tennessee freshman wing Deniya Prawl and Oregon junior forward Sarah
Rambus, both of whom played at the prep level for the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

Prawl was a former five-star prospect in the 2025 class who was also a McDonald's All-American. The transfer portal in women's college hoops opened on April 6 and will run through April 20.

A season ago, Syracuse women's basketball went 24-9 overall and advanced to the Big Dance's second round. At least seven players from SU's 2025-26 roster have decided to enter the transfer portal.

One of those players, 'Cuse junior guard Sophie Burrows, said on Saturday via social media that she would transfer to fellow Atlantic Coast Conference school North Carolina. Congrats to Sophie!

Last month, word came out that Syracuse women's basketball center Uche Izoje, who had one of the best freshman stanzas in program history, would return to the Orange as a sophomore. SU also has one commit in its 2026 high school class, and she is guard Madison Howard out of Monsignor Scanlan High School in the Bronx, N.Y.
