It's becoming increasingly likely that the new coach of Arizona women's basketball will have an entirely new roster.
Three more UA players entered the transfer portal and on Monday signed with SMU, following former Wildcats coach Adia Barnes to Dallas.

SMU announced the signings of guards Paulina Paris and Mailien Rolf and forward Sahnya Jah, leaving only one scholarship player on the roster — forward Montaya Dew, who missed the end of the season after reinjuring her surgically repaired knee.
Additionally, both of Arizona's signees in the class of 2025 — wing Roxy White of Frankfort, Illinois, and guard Jazzy Gipson of Albuquerque — are headed to SMU, the school announced Monday.
Paris played one season at Arizona after spending her first year at North Carolina. She started 24 of 33 games, averaging 8.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
Rolf started 14 of 31 games during her freshman year. She averaged 3.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists.
Jah spent one season at Arizona after playing for South Carolina as a freshman. She encountered off-the-court issues at both schools, resulting in suspensions. Jah averaged 6.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in 18 games for the Wildcats.
Barnes left Arizona on Saturday after nine seasons as the head coach at her alma mater. UA athletic director Desireé Reed-Francois said later that day that a national search for Barnes successor is already underway.
