10 best memes amid Hailey Van Lith's TCU transfer

1) Coming home

Hailey Van Lith going to TCU will bring new fans to the program. An X user suggested they were coming home because of the transfer of the former LSU guard to Texas. Maybe even the locals who supported other teams might just come home like this user, who used a GIF of Will Smith's emotional scene in the 2006 drama "The Pursuit of Happyness."

2) I can't wait to catch that

Van Lith is expected to draw crowds to watch her play. A fan showcased their eagerness to watch the new Horned Frog, even while being a rival fan.

3) What a time to be alive!

The Horned Frogs won the Big 12 regular-season title in 2010, so fans have been waiting 14 years for any kind of silverware. It was also the last time the program made the NCAA Tournament. However, coach Mark Campbell seems to have assembled a squad that has reignited hope among the TCU faithful.

Adding Hailey Van Lith to the squad had this user pointing out, "What a time to be alive."

4) A can't-miss prospect

Another fan said that the Haley Cavinder and Hailey Van Lith team-up would be an unmissable event when TCU plays the West Virginia Mountaineers at WVU Coliseum in the coming season.

Unfortunately for the fans, Haley Cavinder will not be playing for the Horned Frogs as she unexpectedly de-committed from the program to join her sister Hanna at Miami (Fla.).

5) A bold prediction

Hailey Van Lith was a star in the LSU setup, but the program had bigger stars like Angel Reese, Flau’jae Johnson and more. Now that she is going to TCU, all the focus will be on her. According to this fan, she would play like LeBron James in the NBA.

6) The turning tables

For a long time, the women's game did not attract a large audience, and the financial benefits were minimal. They still aren't, but the tables appear to have turned.

A fan posted a hilarious video on X depicting his day if a star like Van Lith would be his partner when she is in the WNBA.

7) Last chance for Mark Campbell?

Not every fan sees the positives that Van Lith would bring to the table, considering some other players in the squad.

A fan warned that it might be the last chance for Mark Campbell’s team to leave a mark before having to rebuild it again.

8) A lucky coincidence

Fans are certainly excited to see Hailey Van Lith come to Texas and the Horned Frogs become crowd-pullers. One user revealed that they would be in Dallas around the same time that the star guard would be. The meme suggests that the fan certainly liked the idea.

9) The 10 minutes of bliss

For some time, there was a prospect of Haley Cavinder being on the same team as Van Lith. It didn't happen, as Cavinder decided to move base. A fan had a hilarious take on how those who witnessed it would tell the story to future generations.

10) Another timeline perhaps

The prospect of Van Lith and one of the Cavinder Twins on the same team was enticing for fans. But then, reports came out that Cavinder was transferring out of TCU to reunite with her sister Hanna in Miami. This fan joked that the former LSU star might just enter the portal again to follow Cavinder to Miami.
