OXFORD, Miss. – Head women’s basketball coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin promised to do damage in the portal and did just so with the addition of three Power Five transfers to the roster for the 2023-24 campaign. The Rebels land two of ESPN’s top-15 players in the transfer portal after coming off of the school’s 11th Sweet 16 appearance and a program best 11 wins in SEC play.
“Every year we focus on bringing in the right pieces into our program. This year I believe my staff and I have been intentional about doing that,” said McPhee-McCuin. “Each signee will only continue to help us on our journey to achieving our ultimate goal, which is winning a National Championship.”
“This will be a fun group and I’m asking Oxford to support us now but purchasing season tickets and helping us Pack the Pavilion”
