Iriafien is the latest star player who will move on from Stanford this offseason as Cameron Brink and Hannah Jump will both begin pro careers.
The 6-foot-3 junior forward is one of the top players available in the women’s college basketball transfer portal following a breakout season where she averaged 19.4 points and 11 rebounds while shooting 54.6% from the field.
Iriafen was at her best during the NCAA Tournament for the 30-6 Cardinal, scoring 41 points and grabbing 16 rebounds in a second-round victory over Iowa State before putting up 26 points in Stanford’s Sweet 16 loss to NC State.
The former Harvard-Westlake School star has emerged as one of the game’s most lethal post scorers and should garner a lot of interest during her stay in the portal between some schools close to home and some other programs that also recruited her out of high school. Here are five potential landing spots for Iriafen.
