UCLA women's basketball depth chart for the 2026-2027 season

The UCLA Bruins were always set to see a ton of talent leave their program following their NCAA national championship earlier this month but UCLA has done a good job of replenishing their talent level through the transfer portal.

Cori Close and the Bruins have landed three different top-25 transfers according to CBS Sports’ rankings, getting No. 4 Addy Brown, No. 23 Elina Aarnisalo and No. 24 Donovyn Hunter. The three key transfers will join a largely new-look Bruins team that lost its top six contributors from this year’s championship squad.

With the portal action slowing down, let’s take a look at the potential depth chart for next year’s UCLA squad

Point Guard: Elina Aarnisalo/Christina Karamouzi/Somto Okafor

Elina Aarnisalo is back for a second stint with the Bruins after one year away at North Carolina. Christina Karamouzi was a part of UCLA’s title team but showed less as a freshman than Aarnisalo did in her first stint with the Bruins. UCLA’s lone incoming freshman, Somto Okafor, joins the Bruins from Spain and it’s still to be seen how college-ready her game is.

Shooting Guard: Donovyn Hunter/Bonnie Deas

Close added a lot of talent in the backcourt, with Donovyn Hunter and Bonnie Deas giving her a couple different playstyles to deploy as needed this year for the Bruins. Deas is an exceptionally good rebounding guard, with both players giving Close and the Bruins strong defense.
