CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami women’s basketball team gained a new addition Wednesday, as head coach Katie Meier announced the signing of transfer Latasha Lattimore .
A 6-foot-4 forward, Lattimore joins the Hurricanes after spending her freshman season at the University of Texas. Lattimore played in 32 games with the Longhorns and earned her first collegiate start at Princeton on Dec. 22, 2021.
“When Tasha Lattimore agreed to join our Miami family, we felt like it was another huge boost for our upcoming season,” Meier said. “She is long, athletic and super excited about learning and advancing her game.”
The forward averaged 3.2 points and 2.8 rebounds in 10.3 minutes of action per game in 2021-22. In statistics per 40 minutes played, Lattimore averages a double-double with 12.5 points and 10.8 rebounds.
Lattimore totaled three double-digit games while at Texas, highlighted by a double-double performance (12 points, 10 rebounds) against Idaho. She helped the Longhorns to the 2022 Big 12 Championship title and the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight.
“Tasha is really going to help us in our multiple defenses and in our ability to play with pace and space,” Meier said. “She is an amazing young woman and has been so much fun to get to know.”
