Jax State Lands Monster Transfer in Rocio Jimenez

0:00Jacksonville State Women's Basketball just landed a monster in the transfer portal with 6-foot 7-center Rosio Jimenez for Mississippi State. She signing on for the 2026-27 season, marking the fourth big addition under new head coach Ricky Austin. At that height, Jimenez brings unmatched size to the gamecucks. Earlier this week, the program announced her commitment on Monday afternoon. Jimenez spent three seasons with the Bulldogs, rehabbing an injury her first year, and sitting out the 2024-25 season. Last year, she came off the bench in 13 games, hitting a career high 9 points and grabbing three rebounds against Mississippi Valley State. This move amps up the front court like never before. She's likely the tallest player in Jack State history, topping the old mark of 6-foot 4 from Courtney Cheshire back in the 2008-2009 season, and the 6-foot 3-forward from the previous coach's era, fans are buzzing about the height advantage she'll give the team. Meanwhile, Austin staff locked in three more transfers over five days, 6-foot guard

1:04Emily Monson from Middle Tennessee, Camden Ward from UT Martin, averaging 4.1 points and 3.5 rebounds, and Cameron Corpren from Northwest Florida State with 7.3 points, 5.6 assists, and 5.2 boards per game. With guards Kyra Thornsberry and forward Mina Girjiewicz returning, plus forward Anna Skogh, who signed last November, the game cocks are stacking a deep, roster fast. Austin's offseason hall sets them up strong heading into next year. This has been Birmingham News Today, powered by AI.
