Arizona State guard Trayanna Crisp commits to Tar Heels from transfer portal

The UNC women’s basketball program has landed Trayanna Crisp from Arizona State, adding to its retooled backcourt.

The UNC women’s basketball program snagged Arizona State’s guard [autotag]Trayanna Crisp[/autotag] out of the transfer portal, per On3.

Crisp generated a significant boost in production from last season, becoming the Sun Devils’ second-leading scorer (12.1 points), more than doubling her total from the year prior (5.4 points). Crisp delivered key games for the Sun Devils last season, including a 23-point and seven-rebound performance in their 73-66 win over Washington.

The news couldn’t come at a better time for the Tar Heels, who have had two key scorers, [autotag]Deja Kelly[/autotag] and [autotag]Paulina Paris[/autotag], depart for new opportunities. Thankfully for the Heels, they have five-star Ciera Toomey, Indya Nivar and Lexi Donarski joining the team. Not to mention, veteran Alyssa Ustby returns.

Crisp will serve bolster UNC’s backcourt, adding depth to a roster that is under construction but still expected to contend. The Tar Heels had many high and lows last season, despite dealing with injuries most of the season. 

The team will look different next season, losing star Deja Kelly. However, the addition of the Crisp helps lessens the blow.
