Purdue Basketball Transfer Reveals Awkward Reality Of Entering Portal While Enrolled At Different School
Taylor Feldman entered the transfer portal at the end of March after playing three years of college basketball at Northern Arizona. She committed to Purdue just a few days later.
However, the rising senior is still enrolled at her former university even though she is leaving, which presents an interesting reality for all of the athletes who are in a similar position. They are locked out!
Feldman, a native of California, appeared in 101 men’s college basketball games for the Lumberjacks with 43 starts. This past year was a major breakout season. The 5-foot-8 guard averaged 16.4 points on 40.8% shooting with 59 three-pointers, 3.9 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 31.9 minutes per game and earned First-Team All-Big Sky honors.
As is often the case in the era of the portal, Feldman’s strong year at a mid-major program allowed her the opportunity to transfer up to a high-major program. She became the first player to sign with the Boilermakers in this current cycle.
Northern Arizona no longer lists Feldman on its roster for next year. Purdue has since added him to its roster for 2025-26. The move is almost complete!
However, the 2024-25 hoops season did not end until late March. Taylor Feldman was right in the middle of her sixth semester at NAU when she entered the transfer portal and committed to play elsewhere. She still has a few weeks left in Flagstaff before she moves to Indiana.
