While fans are focused on what the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team does in the transfer portal, it’s important that the Syracuse women are actively adding to next season’s roster. On Friday Felisha Legette-Jack announced the addition of two transfer post players: Olivia Owens from Kentucky and Kyra Wood from Temple. Then on Sunday we learned that Cheyenne McEvans would be following Legette-Jack from Buffalo to Syracuse.
Owens and Wood are originally from New York and will bring needed size to the Syracuse front-court. Owens is a 6’4 center with two seasons of eligibility left. She was part of Kentucky’s SEC Tournament Champions team this past season- a group that knocked off the eventual National Champion South Carolina in that final.
