LSU women’s basketball has seen another transfer portal departure, this time freshman point guard [autotag]Angelica Velez[/autotag]. Talia Goodman of The Next Hoops was the first to report Velez’s decision on Monday.
A native of The Bronx, New York, who played her high school basketball in Tennessee, Velez was a four-star prospect and top-25 player nationally coming out of high school.
However, she only saw sporadic action on a deep LSU team as a true freshman. She played in 23 games, totaling just 111 minutes while averaging 1.2 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists.
Her best performance came in a 133-44 win over McNeese, in which she scored a season-high 10 points.
LSU’s Angelica Velez has entered the transfer portal, a source tells @TheNextHoops.
Averaged 1.2 ppg as a freshman.
