While Orange basketball fans have been worried about the men’s transfer portal, the Syracuse women still have a bunch of roster spots to fill.
Last night, they picked up a commitment from former SMU Mustang Tyi Skinner, a 5’5” guard from Washington DC.
Skinner only played in 8 games last season and will receive another medical redshirt to give her a 7th
year next season. She started her career at Delaware, playing two seasons for the Blue Hens before moving to Arizona State where she played two seasons sandwiched around a year missed due to an ACL injury.
For her career, Skinner averages 14.3 points, 2.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds while shooting 33% from 3. Skinner should bring some scoring punch to the Syracuse backcourt which needs to replace Laila Phelia and possible Dominique Darius.
