Why did Hailey Van Lith choose TCU?

After a challenging season at LSU, where she did not achieve the same level of success she had at Louisville, Van Lith decided to seek a fresh start. TCU offered her an opportunity to play a more prominent role and contribute significantly to the team's success. 

While appearing on the 2024 Big 12 Media Days in October 2024, Van Lith was asked why she chose the TCU Horned Frogs for her final season of college eligibility, and she replied,

I think TCU obviously is great for a lot of reasons – the style of play that I knew we were gonna have under Coach Campbell. Just the freedom I would have in the offence and the opportunity to showcase a lot of different abilities. I knew it would be there – I knew him for quite a while in my basketball career before this moment and he's always genuinely wanted the best for me. So, I knew that I could trust the coach with my last year.
