Tonie Morgan tabbed as 12th-best transfer in women's basketball by ESPN

When Kenny Brooks secured a commitment from Georgia Tech’s Tonie Morgan, he landed one of the best transfers in the country. The 5-foot-9 point guard was recently tabbed as the 12th best transfer in women’s college basketball by ESPN’s Charlie Creme.

She’s listed as the third-best point guard to have entered the portal, only behind No. 2 Olivia Miles (Notre Dame —> TCU) and No. 5 MiLaysia Fulwiley (South Carolina).

The full rankings go as follows:

1. G Ta’Niyah Latson (Florida State —> South Carolina)
2. PG Olivia Miles (Notre Dame —> TCU)
3. F Cotie McMahon (Ohio State —> Ole Miss)
4. G Gianna Kneepkens (Utah)
5. PG MiLaysia Fulwiley (South Carolina)
6. G Yarden Garzon (Indiana —> Maryland)
7. F Janiah Barker (UCLA)
8. F Serah Williams (Wisconsin)
9. F Sa’Myah Smith (LSU —> Virginia)
10. G Dani Carnegie (Georgia Tech —> Georgia)
11. G Oluchi Okananwa (Duke —> Maryland)
12. PG Tonie Morgan (Georgia Tech —> Kentucky)
13. C Ra Shaya Kyle (Florida —> Miami)
14. PG Kiyomi McMiller (Rutgers)
15. F Kate Koval (Notre Dame —> LSU)
16. G Iyana Moore (Vanderbilt)
17. G Kara Dunn (Georgia Tech)
18. G Taliah Scott (Auburn —> Baylor)

20. G Londynn Jones (UCLA)
21. F Breya Cunningham (Arizona —> Texas)
22. F Marta Suarez (Cal —> TCU)
23. G Jada Williams (Arizona —> Iowa State)
24. G Avery Howell (USC —> Washington)

Former Kentucky center Clara Silva, who is now a TCU Horned Frog, is among the many names in the “others considered” category.

“With the retirement of coach Nell Fortner, the Yellow Jackets have suffered a mass exodus as seven players entered the portal,” Creme wrote. “Carnegie, Morgan and Kara Dunn were Georgia Tech’s three best players, and are all moving on. Morgan was third in the ACC with 5.6 assists per game and can help a contender looking for a steady veteran point guard.”
