Starters Marquesha Davis, Tyia Singleton and SEC All-Defensive standout Madison Scott are back, as well as Snudda Collins for her fourth season in Oxford. Eight newcomers joined the Rebels, including three transfers in KK Deans, Kharyssa Richardson and Kennedy Todd-Williams as well as five freshmen looking to make a splash.
