USC women's basketball's backcourt will receive an experienced boost with the addition of transfer Rokia Doumbia, head coach Lindsay Gottlieb has announced. A 5-9 guard, the native of Mali comes to Troy by way of Purdue and Arkansas, and will join USC as a grad transfer for the 2022-23 season.
"First and foremost, Rokia is an amazing young woman with an inspiring story," Gottlieb said of Doumbia. "She has been courageous in venturing far from her home country to pursue her basketball and academic goals, and we are thrilled that her final collegiate year will be in a USC uniform. She immediately becomes an athletic force in our conference, and has an ability to put a ton of pressure on opponents on both ends of the floor. Her skill set, mentality and experience will certainly be an exciting addition in the Galen Center."
