Eight newcomers!
That’s not the whole team, right? Post from the school says “meet your team” but there’s only 8 there….
Edit: I can’t count. Doh! I just saw the others.
There are 12. That is the entire roster.
Prolly a walk on or two and you get to 14.
What happened to Camille Jackson? Did not see any news previously that she was in the portal.
Yes, I was counting on Camille and Emily Bratton contributing mightily this year. Any word on their moving on?
Emily Bratton transferred to Marshall. Cori Lard to Winthrop. Lakresha Edwards to Fordham. Enj Gonzalez to Georgia. Camille Jackson is in the portal-no reported landing place. Same with Ziul Gonzalez. And these 12 in the tweet are it for Miami. Roster is done. No more walk ons. Glenn and the staff are very excited about this roster. From one of my discussions this week with Glenn: “Going with 11 scholarship kids, and 1 walk on. We are better on paper and older!”
Bluesman, who is the walkon?
Anna Hurst
I’m surprised that no one has commented on the strangeness of capping the roster at 11 scholarship players, four short of the maximum allowed. Was that choice made by the coaching staff or by the AD or by the University President? Was the decision made for financial reasons? It’s hard to imagine that the decision was made for basketball reasons, given that a few injuries will be a major problem for this Redhawks team.
Welcome! Also I was sorta thinking the same thing. Roster feels short (not in height, but in that we might need another piece.) Maybe they are waiting for someone TBA…
As a former coach, after getting some experience, I cut my roster to 11 every year. Unless the last couple of players were not able to contribute or hold their own or if they missed practice I played everybody every game, at least for a couple of minutes and we pressured and pushed the pace. I think it was the sweet spot for roster size for me. I always had 10 players for practice scrimmaging and one player standing on the sideline paying attention and not talking to someone else.
This smaller roster is probably a reaction to having 7 girls leave after last year even though Coach Box made a real effort to find situations to use everybody last year. An important thing he mentioned is that we are older and more experienced, he probably feels more confident in using his entire roster.
As I reported 3 days ago, this roster is complete. Now confirmed for the rest of the public.
Box Announces Six New Additions to Roster; 2025-26 Roster Complete - Miami University RedHawks
This is an excellent update on where are program is as we head into next year. Last year it took forever to update our roster and get this kind of information, big improvement. It is interesting how much age and experience we added. This team should be ready to go right away when games start.
Three of the six newcomers are Seniors which means we do it all again next year. I hate this. Like one year rentals.
Ah, don’t be so grumpy.
So did someone on the staff leave or are we adding a position.
Kym Royster left to go back to school.
