After bringing in 13 new players after her first season, seven after her second and nine to fill out her current roster, fourth-year Wright State women’s basketball coach Kari Hoffman is yearning for some normalcy in recruiting — well, as normal as it can be in the transfer portal era.
The Raiders have just six holdovers from last year, and two of them are redshirt freshmen.
Junior guards Lauren Scott, who averaged 6.9 points a year ago, and Mikaya Miller (4.5), are the top two returning scorers, which meant Hoffman needed instant help.
“In this day and age, building your roster definitely is a challenge. We worked really hard in the spring to pinpoint transfers that would fit our team well. We feel really good about all of them,” she said.
Hoffman brought in six transfers along with three freshmen recruits, and Amaya Staton, a 6-foot-1 forward in her fifth year of eligibility, looks to be the jewel of the bunch.
She started two years at Merrimack, averaging 10.9 points last season while shooting 46% from the field and 80.5% from the foul line.
