No. 1 Recruit Lauren Betts Transfers from Stanford to UCLA
- Lauren Betts, the top-ranked incoming freshman, is transferring from Stanford to UCLA after averaging 9.7 minutes per game her first season.
- Betts initially committed to Stanford but will now play for their Pac-12 rival UCLA, who is projected to be a top team next season with four returning starters.
- Betts won a gold medal with the U.S. U16 team and was an all-tournament selection, showing her talent and potential for her new team.
- Stanford will have to replace their top recruit and is already at a disadvantage with a smaller roster compared to last season.
- At UCLA, Betts is expected to play a much larger role and become a centerpiece for the team on both offense and defense.
