Sam Purcell’s roster rebuild has begun at Mississippi State and the Bulldogs have their second commitment from the transfer portal.

Sources indicated that North Carolina senior guard Trayanna Crisp will transfer to State. The Arizona native played two seasons at Arizona State before spending last season in Chapel Hill.

Crisp was a reserve guard for the Tar Heels last season playing in 28 games with one start. Crisp averaged 13.9 minutes and 5.6 points per game as a junior while shooting 38% from the field and making 26% of her three-pointers with 21-of-82 made shots. Crisp shot 80% from the foul stripe. The junior also averaged 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.

The biggest performance of the season for Crisp came against Louisville when she scored 19 points in 24 minutes against the Cardinals. She also scored 12 points off the bench against Syracuse the game before.

Crisp was a four-star guard coming out of Phoenix, Arizona in the 2022 class and landed with the home state Sun Devils. She played in 28 games as a freshman with seven starts and averaged 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds. As a sophomore, Crisp took a major jump as she started in 28 of 31 games and averaged 34.3 minutes per game with 12.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals per contest.

It’s the second commitment of the transfer class for the Bulldogs. State already landed a commit from Ole Miss transfer forward Kharyssa Richardson. MSU is having to rebuild its roster after losing eight players to the transfer portal. Seniors Chandler Prater and Destiney McPhaul have announced their return for a final year and Purcell is bringing in a top 10 signing class of freshmen.
