TCU women’s basketball adds another top transfer, Cal forward Marta Suarez
TCU women’s basketball added another top transfer Friday night as Cal forward Marta Suarez announced her commitment to the Horned Frogs on her Instagram page.
Suarez was a productive forward for the Golden Bears last season as she averaged 12.9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists. Cal went 25-9 and reached the NCAA Tournament last season.
Suarez, originally from Spain, started her career at Tennessee in 2020 and was voted SEC All-Freshman after starting 14 games. She missed the 2021 season with a lower body injury.
Suarez spent one more season at Tennessee before transferring to Cal in 2023. She started 34 games and led the team in rebounding (6.9) while finishing second in scoring (11.9).
TCU will likely use Suarez to fill the void left by Agnes Emma-Nnopu. Emma-Nnopu was a gritty, versatile forward who attacked the glass as a rebounder and was capable of knocking down outside shots.
Suarez isn’t the shooter Emma-Nnopu was, but she is coming off a season where she shot a career-high 32% on four attempts per game.
With Suarez in the fold, TCU has a case for having the best transfer class in the country. The Horned Frogs signed Notre Dame transfer Olivia Miles, who was projected to be a top three pick in the upcoming WNBA Draft. TCU also bolstered its backcourt depth with Texas A&M transfer Taliyah Parker, a former top-60 recruit at South Grand Prairie in the Class of 2024.
TCU has also signed Kentucky center Clara Silva, a 6-foot-7 post player who could be next year’s version of Sedona Prince.
