Mark Campbell Era Highlights

TCU has come as close to any program nationwide at mastering the transfer portal. The Horned Frogs have signed 24 transfer players under Campbell, six in all four recruiting cycles. A quarter of TCU's portal signees have become All-Big 12 players, four of whom earned at least one set of All-American accolades. Five of TCU's transfer players have gone on to hear their names called in the WNBA Draft.
The Horned Frogs enter the 2026-27 campaign as one of only two teams at the Power Conference level who have posted consecutive 30-win seasons and won a regular season conference championship. The other is South Carolina.
