Syracuse women's basketball hosted several college transfers on visits to the program this past weekend. One of them committed to the Orange on Monday, giving the 'Cuse its first pledge via the transfer portal.

As first reported by 247Sports national analyst Dushawn London, Oregon junior forward Sarah Rambus will transfer to Syracuse women's basketball. She confirmed this news via a post on her Instagram page.

A huge congrats and welcome from Orange Nation to Sarah! The 6-foot-3 Rambus, who hails from Flint, Mich., averaged 14.2 minutes, 6.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per contest this past season for Oregon, while making 53.7 percent from the field.

In the 2025-26 campaign, the Ducks went 23-13 overall and advanced to the second round of this spring's NCAA Tournament.

As a prep recruit in the 2023 class, Rambus was rated four stars and No. 66 nationally by ESPN. She played for three seasons at Flushing High School in Flushing, Mich., before spending her senior year at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.

Other college transfers who visited the Orange this past weekend included Tennessee freshman wing Deniya Prawl, Maryland redshirt-junior forward Isimenme Ozzy-Momodu and Maryland redshirt-freshman guard Kyndal Walker. London, of 247Sports, first reported all these visitors to SU.

Prawl is a former five-star prospect in the 2025 class who was a McDonald's All-American while suiting up for IMG. Before she played at Maryland, Ozzy-Momodu was a junior-college All-American when she competed for Gulf Coast State in Panama City, Fla.

The transfer portal in women's college basketball opened on April 6 and will run through April 20. To date, at least seven players from the Orange's 2025-26 roster have elected to enter the portal.

They are freshman forward Jasmyn Cooper, sophomore forward Aurora Almón, sophomore wing Shy Hawkins, freshman guard Camdyn Nelson, freshman forward Justus Fitzgerald, junior guard Sophie Burrows and sophomore guard Madeline Potts. Burrows has committed to North Carolina, while Nelson has pledged to Northwestern.

Syracuse women's basketball had a terrific 2025-26 season, going 24-9 overall and reaching the Big Dance's second round. Now head coach Felisha Legette-Jack and her staff are constructing their 2026-27 roster, which will also include incoming freshman Madison Howard, a guard out of Monsignor Scanlan High School in the Bronx, N.Y.

SU freshman center Uche Izoje, the ACC's rookie of the year in 2025-26, is returning for her sophomore season with the Orange, which is a huge deal for the team's 2026-27 roster.
