UCLA Women's Basketball Transfer Intelligence Report
An interactive five-tab dashboard built for UCLA Women's Basketball that maps transfer portal movement, compares first-year transfer vs. freshman on-court impact, and tracks career development across 8,300 freshman seasons and 1,354 transfer arrivals in Power 5 programs.
UCLA Women's Basketball coaches lacked a unified, data-driven tool to evaluate transfer portal decisions — specifically how first-year transfers compare to freshmen in immediate impact, and how outcomes vary by position, conference, and school.
The team built a web scraper pulling game logs and advanced metrics from Sports Reference across all Power 5 programs, then constructed a dashboard covering transfer flow, freshman vs. transfer comparisons, pre/post-transfer performance, career development arcs, and UCLA-specific patterns.
The live dashboard gives coaching staff real-time access to transfer market intelligence, including Top-10 transfer origins and destinations, usage rate comparisons by position, and UCLA's standing in Big Ten transfer recruitment.
