Rutgers guard Kiyomi McMiller transfers to Penn State women's basketball
Kiyomi McMiller had, in more ways than one, a memorable season her freshman year at Rutgers. Next season, she'll continue her career across state lines after announcing her commitment to Penn State women's basketball. Talia Goodman of On3 was the first to break the story Sunday afternoon. Advertisement A Silver Spring, Md. native, McMiller averaged 18.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and three assists per game while shooting 42% from the field, 33% on 3-pointers and 83% from the free-throw line. She's also known for her flashy ball-handling and entertaining style that's been seen all over social media. McMiller's move to Penn State could prove to be beneficial on both sides and both she and the Nittany Lions' program could use a positive change. While the on-court product was entertaining, it was briefly overshadowed by a public disagreement between her and head coach Coquese Washington, who elected to bench McMiller for the game agasint USC, where fans were excited to watch her go against JuJu Watkins. McMiller responded to the action by posting to social media, apologizing to her fans that she wouldn't be playing in the game, and the decision was her coach's. That, along with the team's poor play last season (13-20, 3-15 Big Ten) made it all but certain that McMiller would enter the transfer portal, which she eventually did.

Mandatory Credit: Robert Hanashiro-Imagn Images On the Penn State side, head coach Carolyn Kieger just finished a season where her team finished last in the conference (1-17 in Big Ten play), and all but two players entered the transfer portal. Needing something to help turn things around, Kieger brings in a player who has skill and a desire to be the face of the program, which is a better place to be than she could've initially planned for. Advertisement With about a dozen roster spots left to fill, the work is far from over for Kieger and her staff, but they made a big acquisition by bringing Kiyomi McMiller to State College.
