Ole Miss lands Colorado transfer Tameiya Sadler

Colorado grad transfer Tameiya Sadler committed to the Ole Miss Rebels, sources told On3.

Sadler averaged 5.5 points and 1.3 steals for the Buffaloes last season while shooting 42% from the field. The 5-foot8

The 5-foot-8 veteran point guard spent the past three seasons with Colorado after transferring in from Washington following her freshman campaign. As the Pac-12 dissolves heading into the 2024-25 season, Colorado is moving into the Big 12 Conference.

Sadler helped the Buffs get to three consecutive NCAA Tournaments, including two Sweet Sixteen appearances the past two years as a part-time starter. She started 10 games this past season and four during her junior campaign.

In high school, Sadler was a four-star recruit rated as the 20th-best point guard in the country and 98th-best player in the Class of 2020. The Vallejo, California, native played club basketball in the Nike EYBL for Cal Stars under coach Kelly Sopak.

Ole Miss made three other transfer additions this offseason via the portal. They added guard Deedee Hagemann out of Michigan State, who averaged 13.2 points and 5.2 assists last season, UCLA forward Christeen Iwuala and Starr Jacobs, who averaged 18.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in the 2022-23 season with UT Arlington.

The Rebels also retain a core of Kennedy Todd-Williams, Madison Scott and KK Deans, who’s coming back from an injury she suffered early last season. Ole Miss lost three bench players to the transfer portal in freshmen guards Marija Avlijas and Zakiya Stephenson and junior guard Elauna Eaton.

The veteran addition of Sadler will give Ole Miss more depth in a tough SEC conference and a solid option at point guard. The Ole Miss Rebels were ranked No. 24 in On3’s post-spring Top 25 rankings prior to the addition of Sadler.
