Georgia Tech transfer guard Tianna Thompson has committed to Ole Miss, sources told On3’s Talia Goodman on Tuesday. The 5-10 freshman averaged four points per game this season.

In 21 games, she shot 53.4 percent from the field also added a rebound per game for the Yellow Jackets. Thompson was a four-star prospect in the 2024 class, a four-year basketball letterwinner at The Galloway School, a team captain and the Metro Atlanta Player of the Year as a senior.

Ole Miss women’s basketball coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin led the Rebels to the Sweet 16 this year, where they fell to UCLA, 76-62. To get back to that level and beyond, Ole Miss needs more transfer portal additions that make an impact.

“I think we have put ourselves in the position to be a perennial Sweet 16 team,” McPhee-McCuin said. “Now it’s going to be up to the support that we get to be able to move beyond that. Talent matters. A lot of people don’t give any — every time I hear about our team, I hear about how tough we are. I never hear about coaching. And I don’t understand it, because I don’t have All-Americans on my team, and every team we play, they have four or five All-Americans. So clearly, from a coaching perspective, something is being done right.

“The next step for us is to be able to do the same in the portal, because freshmen ain’t doing it, I’m just telling you. So we have to be able to have the support to be able to go and get what we need so that we can move forward. But at minimum I think we should be a Sweet 16 team.”
