LSU women’s basketball freshman guard Janae Kent has entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to a report in theadvocate.com on Friday morning.
Kent is now the second freshman from the Tigers’ top-ranked 2023 class to enter the transfer portal. The first, point guard Angelica Velez went into the portal on Monday.
A 6-foot-1 wing from Illinois, Kent played eight minutes per game for LSU in a reserve role. She started for LSU just once — when the Tigers faced injuries to several players heading into the Southeastern Conference title game against South Carolina.

LSU coach Kim Mulkey has already signed one transfer, a 6-foot-5 forward from Arkansas named Jersey Wolfenbarger.
LSU this off-season has now lost four scholarship players: Kent, Velez, Angel Reese and Hailey Van Lith.
Reese entered the WNBA draft, and Van Lith entered the transfer portal in hopes of finding a place to play a fifth season of college basketball, looking to improve her 2025 draft stock.
First of all the LSU coach sounds like someone I wouldn’t want to play for. She brash, hypocritical and cares more about herself than players
