Lauren Betts is headed to UCLA.
Betts is the first top-ranked recruit to transfer schools since Elena Delle Donne opted to leave UConn for Delaware. She was eventually selected No. 2 overall in the 2013 WNBA Draft.
Betts will now get to team up with Kiki Rice in Los Angeles. Rice was the No. 2 overall prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, and she averaged 11.6 points and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 41% from the field last season with the Bruins. Senior guard Charisma Osborne, who was projected to be a first round pick in the WNBA Draft, opted to return to UCLA for a fifth year. Guard Camryn Brown will be back for another season, too, which gives UCLA four of its five starters from last season.
Now with Betts on board, the Bruins are sure to be a very strong contender next season — both in the Pac-12, where they haven’t won a regular season conference title in more than two decades, and across the country.
