The transfer news continues to trickle out, and the latest comes from the Ohio State women’s basketball program. On Wednesday, James Madison announced that former Buckeye guard, Hevynne Bristow, is joining the program as a graduate transfer after spending her last three years in Columbus.
Out of Brooklyn, New York, Bristow came to OSU after one season at Providence. She was thrust into action during what was supposed to be a transition, redshirt year, but never really carved out a role on a Buckeye squad the next two years after.
Last year was the campaign Bristow contributed to the most, appearing in 29 games but averaging just 3.6 points and 3.0 rebounds on 10.5 minutes of action. As the team made a run in the NCAA Tournament, all the way to the Elite 8, Bristow’s minutes seemed to evaporate.
For her part, James Madison head coach Sean O’Regan was happy to add Bristow to the team.

“Hevynne is a special player, person, and athlete,” O’Regan said. “She got to see us up close and in person when we played Ohio State in the NCAA tournament, and she could really see herself here with us. I have watched her since she was a junior in high school and her potential is off the charts. I’m super excited to get her on the court with us and help her get to where she belongs.”
We, of course, wish nothing but the best as Bristow takes the next step in her college basketball career.
