Coach Yo and the Rebels add ‘integral’ piece in Colorado transfer guard Tameiya Sadler
OXFORD, Miss. — Ole Miss head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin has added a top-notch transfer to the Rebels’ team as Colorado guard Tameiya Sadler is headed to Oxford.
The senior will have one year of eligibility because of the bonus year granted to all players from the 2020-21 season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The addition of Tameiya on our roster was integral. She’s dynamic and fits perfectly in our system. We are excited to welcome Tam and we know that the Oxford community will embrace her right away.”

Sadler is coming from a very successful Colorado team, one where she helped the Buffs gets to three consecutive NCAA tournaments, including the Sweet 16 the past two years.
Back on March 24, Sadler was a crucial part of Colorado’s 63-50 upset of Kansas State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. She scored 10 points when her team needed her most, with all 10 coming in the second half.
She transferred to Colorado after playing her freshman season (2020-21) at Washington. There, she tallied 10.4 points per game along with 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.
