The Ole Miss Rebels have recently acquired a valuable addition to their women’s basketball team in the form of transfer guard Tameiya Sadler from Colorado. Coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin has been actively making strategic moves in the transfer portal, and Sadler’s decision to join the Rebels serves as another testament to the program’s increasing appeal.
The news of Sadler’s commitment was first reported by On3, underscoring the ongoing efforts to bolster the Ole Miss roster. This off-season has witnessed the addition of skilled players such as guard DeeDee Hagemann, and forwards Christeen Iwuala and Starr Jacobs, further cementing the team’s prospects for the upcoming season.
Sadler brings a wealth of experience to the table, having played for the Buffaloes for three seasons following her transfer from the Washington Huskies. Her on-court contributions have been notable, with an average of 5.5 points per game and an impressive 42 percent field goal shooting in the 2023-24 season. Her freshman year at Washington also showcased her scoring prowess, with an average of over 10 points per game for the Huskies.
Notably, Sadler started 10 games for Colorado in the previous season and played a vital role in helping the Buffs secure a spot in the Sweet 16 for the past two years. Despite falling short at that stage, her experience at the highest level of college basketball will undoubtedly be an asset to the Ole Miss team as they strive for their own postseason success.
Looking ahead, Ole Miss has its sights set on another deep tournament run, building on the momentum from their Sweet 16 appearance in the 2022-23 season under McPhee-McCuin’s leadership. While last season ended in disappointment with an early elimination, the returning core of talent, including standout performers Kennedy Todd-Williams and Madison Scott, provides a strong foundation to mount a renewed challenge this winter.
With the addition of Sadler and the existing roster strengths, the Ole Miss women’s basketball team is poised for an exciting season ahead. The blend of experience, skill, and determination sets the stage for compelling matchups and the pursuit of further accomplishments on the national stage. As fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming campaign, the arrival of new talent signals a promising chapter for the Rebels, rekindling hopes for continued success and progression in the highly competitive world of collegiate basketball.
