After one season at Mississippi State, Darrione Rogers is back in the transfer portal as she pursues other opportunities for her final year of eligibility.
Rogers spent her first three collegiate seasons at DePaul in her home city of Chicago, scoring 1,109 points for the Blue Demons. She mostly came off the bench upon arriving in Starkville, but was part of the Bulldogs’ late-game lineup and was used as a 3-point specialist, shooting 38.5 percent from behind the arc.
She made her first start of the season on Nov. 26 against Tulsa and made the most of it, scoring 22 points on 6-for-9 shooting from deep. She was also a key cog in MSU’s upset victory in late January over LSU, with 19 points off the bench. In the regular-season finale against Missouri with the Bulldogs in desperate need of a win, Rogers was 6-for-8 from long range and tied her season high with 22 points.
Rogers is the fifth Bulldog to enter the transfer portal this offseason, joining guards Mjracle Sheppard and Jasmine Brown-Hagger and forwards Nyayongah Gony and Ramani Parker. MSU added Eniya Russell from Kentucky on Monday and is in pursuit of more help in the backcourt — including LSU point guard Hailey Van Lith, who overlapped with head coach Sam Purcell for two years at Louisville.
