On the other hand, the Razorbacks have also seen some key players depart from the program. Guard/Forward Saylor Poffenbarger, who transferred to Arkansas from UConn in 2021, has decided to continue her collegiate career at Maryland. Poffenbarger was a force on the boards for the Razorbacks, averaging 11.2 rebounds per game and ranking second in defensive rebounds in Division I.

Another significant departure is standout freshman Taliah Scott, who led the Razorbacks in scoring with 22.1 points per game. Scott, a 5-star recruit and the No. 11 prospect in the class of 2023, will be a sought-after player in the transfer portal. She has announced her decision to transfer to Auburn, where she will look to continue her impressive collegiate career.

Additionally, guard/forward Jersey Wolfenbarger has also entered the transfer portal, opting to continue her career at LSU. Wolfenbarger, a former 5-star recruit, averaged 5.6 points and 3.8 rebounds over two seasons at Arkansas.
