Ellis averaged 17.7 points and 4.4 assists per game for the men’s team.
Van Lith has led the Cards to three consecutive Elite Eight appearances. She averaged 19.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

It sounds like she already knew where she was headed before officially entering the portal (welcome to the new world of college basketball):
Hailey Van Lith is in the portal. And she is reportedly a “do not contact” because she knows where she is going. The next time a head coach complains about transfers, remind them that we know they’re tampering and making pre-portal promises while also claiming they hate all this.
