Transfer Portal Spotlight: Rachael Rose a Scranton native Becomes Top Mid-Major Prospect
By: Brad Loff | Sportzwire | March 29, 2025
Rachael Rose, a 5’7” point guard and Scranton native, has officially entered the transfer portal and is already considered one of the top mid-major players available. After a standout career at Wofford, Rose brings a loaded résumé that’s hard to ignore.
In the 2023-24 season, she averaged 22.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 2.1 steals per game—producing at an elite level across the board. What truly sets Rose apart is how she performed against some of the best competition in the country. She dropped 23 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists against Tennessee, while also putting up double-doubles and near triple-doubles against Georgia, Virginia, and Wake Forest. Even in limited minutes this past season before medically redshirting, she put up 20 points against No. 2 South Carolina and 23 against No. 9 Duke.
Rose brings a complete package to the floor: a smart, efficient playmaker who rebounds like a forward, creates for others, and scores at all three levels. Defensively, she’s just as impactful, consistently averaging close to two steals per game. With a career 40% clip from beyond the arc, she’s a threat every time she touches the ball.
Now on the market, Rose is expected to be one of the most coveted players in the portal—a proven guard with the ability to change the game on both ends of the floor.
Rachael Rose is a graduate of Scranton Preparatory School in Pennsylvania, where she built a decorated high school career. A consistent scoring threat, she averaged 19 points per game as a junior and 16 as a senior, while also contributing five assists and seven rebounds per night. Rose earned all-league, all-region, and all-state honors all four years and led Scranton Prep to multiple state playoff runs, including an undefeated 28-0 season that ended in the quarterfinals due to the COVID-19 shutdown
