Based on last year, it could be this Fall before MURedHawks updates our roster, So this is nothing official, but what I know or have heard. We have 13 signed players for next year, which I think is plenty ( 15 is the max for college women, 2 more than the men). 13 gives you enough players for practice and scrimmages even if you have injuries. Unlike other sports which play large numbers of players, you only have 5 on the court at any one time and there is only one ball. By seasons end most teams are using 6,7,8, or 9 players. 7 or 8 is most normal. Going by what position they have been listed at, we have 3 post players and 10 guards. That would suggest that we might play very up tempo, possibly with presses and traps. Last year we were basically a half court team which ran a lot of plays by the end of the season. We did like to trap and pressure in the half court at times.
We have 6 returning players, I think the 6 best players we had, 2 high school girls who signed last November, and 3 transfer portal girls and one hs Sr who signed this spring, and one freshman from Israel who signed this spring. This year we will have one girl from Ohio and three from Indiana. That is it for anybody living close to Oxford. We have one girl from Spain, one from the Netherlands, one from Israel, and two from Canada. Also two from Florida, one from Illinois, one from Iowa.
