Indiana WBB lands Virginia transfer as the Hoosiers try to patch up roster holes

Both men's and women's Indiana basketball are starting to rack up the transfer portal commitments. Women's basketball did have quite as many players enter the portal as the men's team did, but head coach Teri Moren still has a lot foof holes to fill in her roster.

Slowly, but surely Moren has been bringing in players from the portal, and with the way she recruits, even if they are the flashiest player, Indiana fans know that they will have a place somewhere in Moren's game plans.

The Hoosiers did land another commit late last night as Virginia transferred Edessa Noyan, who visited Bloomington on Monday, has officially announced her intentions to be a Hoosier.

Indiana WBB lands Edessa Noyan from Virginia out of the transfer portal

Noyan comes to Indiana after two seasons with the Cavaliers, playing in a total of 54 contexts between her freshman and sophomore seasons, starting in 26 of those games. In her most recent season, Noyan averaged 5.7 points per game, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in roughly 25 minutes a night.

The 6-foot-3 forward from Sweden played on the U20 Swedish Junior National Team before coming to the States to play women's college basketball. She also played for the Sodertajie Club Team, one of the top Swedish club teams in the country.

Noyan is not the first transfer to commit to the Hoosiers as she joins Arkansas transfer Phoenix Stotijn, Alabama transfer Chloe Spreen, and UCLA transfer Zania Socka-Ngueman in her trasnfer class.

The height of Noyan is something to look at as the Hoosiers are losing their bigger players down low with Karoline Striplin and Lilly Meister both leaving the Hoosiers. Striplin has no more eligibility left and Meister just committed to the Kansas Jayhawks out of the transfer portal. Noyan's ability to be down low and work the paint is something Moren will develop in the young forward.
