Spectulation had previously abounded that the youngster could enter the transfer portal , following the lead of Olivia Miles, Kate Koval and Emma Risch in joining the exodus . However, the highly-rated guard has instead decided to return to the program next season - putting an end to rumors over her future. The 20-year-old ended her sophomore year at the school having averaged an impressive 23.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game across 2024-25.

Issuing a vow to fans, she reaffirmed her commitment to the program, saying: "I think I'm just being loyal, you know I'm with my coaches, my teammates. I'm with them until my last day playing at Notre Dame. "I think that was the biggest thing with a whole bunch of stuff with the NIL and the portal and everything like that. I'm where my feet are and I'm happy where I'm at," she said, before looking forward to a break over the summer: "I'm taking it day by day, just getting in the gym and summer time is next. I'm getting in the gym and working on my craft. Speaking with pride about the rise of the women's game generally, she added: It's a blessing, just to be an inspiration to the younger generation. You know, these kids have somebody to look up to and to see how far the women's game has come. When I was younger, it wasn't being talked about and was very talked down on so to see how many people are talking about women's basketball is truly a blessing."

In a revealing conversation with Sportskeeda , she said of the Fighting Irish figure: "She's tough coaching me on the court. And then off the court, she's coming to me and inviting us over and showing love. That's so important because I want to play for somebody who cares for me, and doesn't just care what I'm providing for them on the court." Revealing her reasons for staying in Indiana, she added: 'I want to be at a program where I'm at for four years. That's my goal. That was my goal coming into college, and that's still my end goal. 'It's also about loyalty. It's also about being loyal to my coach. She has done so much for me. She has treated me so well. She has been through a lot of ups and downs with me. And she's been consistent throughout the whole process. She's given so much to me, and I want to be able to give back to her.'

Kim Mulkey sees sixth LSU player enter transfer portal after losing former five-star
Kim Mulkey and LSU are facing a shake-up as Mjracle Sheppard has decided to enter the transfer portal, leaving the team's 2024-25 season roster. The Tigers had a strong run in the 2025 NCAA Tournament , making it to the Elite Eight before being edged out by UCLA with a score of 72-65. Since that tough loss, there's been a flurry of activity behind the scenes as LSU looks to rebuild its roster for the upcoming season. They've already snagged talents like Kate Koval from Notre Dame and Amiya Joyner from East Carolina, and they're also rumored to be courting ex-Wisconsin standout Serah Williams, who recently visited Baton Rouge.

Talia Goodman of On3 reported on X: "BREAKING: LSU's Mjracle Sheppard has entered the transfer portal, sources told @On3sports. The 5-10 sophomore averaged 3.9 ppg this season." After transferring from Mississippi State last year, Sheppard was expected to play a significant role for the Tigers in the 2024-25 season. Unfortunately, a foot injury in October threw a wrench in those plans, reports the Mirror US . Despite the setback, Sheppard managed to rejoin the rotation after her recovery, participating in all four of LSU's NCAA Tournament games. After scoring 10 points against No. 14 seed San Diego State and playing 19 minutes versus No. 6 seed Florida State, it seemed she was poised for a bigger role at LSU, especially given recent team departures and the Tigers' need for another guard to team up with Flau'Jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams. Yet, Sheppard is seeking new horizons. Mjracle Sheppard is expected to enter the transfer portal The post-season has seen an exodus from Baton Rouge as Jersey Wolfenbarger, Last-Tear Poa, Sa'Myah Smith, Amani Bartlett, and Aalyah Del Rosario have all entered the transfer portal after the 2024-25 season closure. Virginia snapped up Smith while Poa is off to enjoy the sun at Arizona State after three seasons with the Tigers. Del Rosario, once heralded as a top-five star prospect, declared her move to Vanderbilt on Instagram. She teased fans with snapshots of her visit, coupling it with a cheeky callout: "Music City, what's good? ! !".
