ESPN's #4 transfer. All-SEC 2nd Team two straight years. Led Tennessee in points, assists and steals. Coach Yo has known her since 9th grade. This is not a gamble. It's a reunion.

The interior answer after losing Iwuala and Lattimore. Peak production at Liberty before injury shows what Oxford can unlock. Size. Physicality. Room to grow in the SEC.

"A hidden gem." Led her team in scoring, rebounds and steals. Started every game. Coach Yo saw something others missed. Those numbers in the SEC will be a story to watch.

A floor general who already knows the SEC pace, SEC bodies and SEC stakes. Coach Yo said it plainly: leadership is what Team 52 needs. Godfrey filled the requirement immediately.

"Do your research on the development of our post players." That was Coach Yo's response. The comp is Iwuala. The track record in Oxford is real. Okokoh is the next project.

Five-star recruit out of Miami. The tools and the ceiling were never in question. Oxford gives her the role and the system to let it all out. This one develops. Watch.

The #1 recruit in Louisiana landed at LSU. Two seasons, 34 starts, and a proven SEC motor later, she's headed to Oxford. Coach Yo gets another one. Richard brings SEC starting experience, a 40.8% three-point stroke, and the floor general skill this roster needed.
