The Commodores must replace three starters and two transfers, prompting a comprehensive overhaul of the roster. Fresh recruit Olivia Jones, the No. 16 prospect in the 2026 class, joins returning guard Madison Greene and versatile forward Trinity Wilson, while transfer Vee Atamah from Northwestern State provides the only true wing on the squad. Adding size and depth, Mia Woolfolk arrives from Georgia and freshman Jhai Johnson bolsters the frontcourt. Defensive stability will hinge on the gritty work of Aiyana Mitchell and Aalyah Del Rosario, who have earned reputations as tenacious defenders. The team also welcomes a host of newcomers, including Sacha Washington, Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda, Aga Makurat, Ava Black, Justine Pissott, Monique Williams, Sther Ubaka and Aria Gerson, each expected to contribute across roles as the Commodores aim to tighten defense and add size to the paint.
