A native of Houston, Texas, the 5-6 point guard posted a double-double in the first round of the NCAA recording 10 points and 11 assists with just two turnovers in a win against Fairfield. Harmond made a splash right away with 21 points in her second collegiate game in a win against No. 3 Stanford.

Harmon's second of three double-doubles last season came when she scored 15 points and pulled down 11 rebounds against Oklahoma. She scorched opponents during the Big 12 Tournament. In the semifinal round against Iowa State, Harmon posted 30 points, which was her best scoring output of the season. She followed that with a 20-point game as Texas won the conference tournament in a victory over No. 4 Baylor.

Lavender Briggs - Maryland

Lavender Briggs makes her awaited return to the court after wrapping up her 2021-22 season prematurely at Florida. The high scoring threat bothered defenses in the SEC during her career as a Gator. She averaged 15.8 points per game over three seasons and 61 games. Her best season was in 2020-21 when she averaged a career best 19.7 points per game. Briggs made national news scoring a career high 41 points that season against Arkansas. In just 14 games last season she averaged a career low 12.5 points, but she did have a bright moment in 2021-22 when she scored 22 points on 9-15 shooting in a win at TCU. That performance came one game after her lone double-double of the year. Briggs had 15 points and 12 rebounds against George Mason. A 6-1 guard, Briggs is a native of Provo, Utah.

Sam Brunelle - Virginia

After three seasons at Notre Dame, Sam Brunelle will continue her career at Virginia. The 6-2 forward from Ruckersville, Virginia, returns to her home state bringing long distance shooting potential.

She averaged career bests 13.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and one block per game as a freshman. She started all of her 32 games that season. Since then, she has been a reserve. Last season Burnelle averaged 6.8 points in 16.7 minutes per game. She kicked off the season with a bang scoring 20 points in just 17 minutes on 8-10 shooting in the opener against Ohio. Brunelle drained four of her five threes in that game. She also made four out of eight attempts from long distance in a late season win over Georgia Tech, when she scored 14 points in the quarterfinal round of the ACC Tournament.

Jordan Walker - Tennessee

Jordan Walker returns for her fifth collegiate season.
