MONTICELLO, Ark. -- The University of Arkansas at Monticello Women's Basketball team has announced the signing of 10 student-athletes to continue their playing career with the Blossoms in the 2026-2027 season.

Among the signees are six junior college transfers, one NCAA Division II transfer, and three high school seniors. The additions bring the 2026-27 roster to a total of 14 players for UAM, linking up with returners Nicole Weaver, Alyssa Batton, Taleigha Ealy, and Brilynn Findley.

"I am excited to add these 10 outstanding student athletes to our 4 returners who have worked extremely hard this spring," said Head Coach David Midlick. "I can't wait to start working with them in the fall in anticipation of the 26-27 season."

Cydney Sanders | Freshman | Guard | 5-8 | Little Rock, AR | Baptist Prep High School

"I saw Cydney during last summer's team camps, and she was able to score against any competition she faced," said Coach Midlick. "She can shoot from 3 as well as drive and finish. She is the 9th-ranked player in Arkansas in the 2026 class. She works extremely hard on her game and will come in ready to compete."

She was coached by Christopher Smith at Baptist Prep.



Molly Stedman | Freshman | Guard | 5-8 | Lancaster, OH | Lancaster High School

"I saw Molly last summer in a very good AAU game and thought she was the best player on the floor," said Coach Midlick. "She made Honorable Mention All-State in Ohio Division I, the biggest class in the state. She did anything on the court her team needed to win. She can play any guard spot."

She was coached by Dusty Miller at Lancaster High School.



Brooklyn Kuchinski | Freshman | Guard | 5-10 | Benton, AR | Benton High School

"Brooklyn has as good of a shot with a quick release as any high school player I've seen in Arkansas this season," said Coach Midlick. "She can also get into the lane to score or distribute the ball. She was an Arkansas Class 5A all-state selection."

She was coached by Jerry Chumley at Benton High School.



Landrey Richardson | Junior | Post | 6-2 | Grannis, AR | National Park College

"I recruited Landrey throughout the year," said Coach Midlick. "She is an offensively skilled post that can score underneath, but also shot 44% from 3. She played 40 minutes a game and never complained. She was first team all-region and helped lead her team to the national tournament."

She was coached by James Broughton at National Park College.



Keely Blanchard | Junior | Guard | 5-10 | Nolfolk, AR | North Arkansas College

"I saw Keely while recruiting Landrey and was immediately impressed with her skill and competitiveness," said Coach Midlick. "In both games I saw her in person, she scored 25 plus points. She can defend as well as any wing I saw this year. She was the region player of the year and a third-team JUCO All-American."

She was coached by Bobby Howard at North Arkansas College.



Casey Teague | Junior | Forward | 6-0 | Memphis, TN | Mineral Area College

"Casey is an athletic forward who can guard inside and out, can knock down shots out to 17 feet, and can rebound," said Coach Midlick. "Having played for Coach Shep, Casey will be ready for the jump to the GAC."

She was coached by Carrie Shephard at Mineral Area College.





Hannah Moore | Junior | Forward | 5-10 | Pearl, MS | Hinds Community College

"I had other coaches in the Mississippi JUCO ranks tell me about Hannah," said Coach Midlick. "She is an incredible athlete who has just scratched the surface of the player she can be. She can defend multiple positions and make plays on both ends."

She was coached by Lisa Thomas at Hinds Community College.



Cy'Nara Robinson | Junior | Guard | 5-9 | McGehee, AR | Pearl River Community College

"I have followed Nara for two years now, and I'm glad she chose us and is close to home," said Coach Midlick. "She does whatever it takes for her team to be successful. She gets rebounds, defends, and can score out to 3. She made All-Mississippi JUCO second team."

She was coached by Shanae Williams at Pearl River Community College.



Sydney Donaldson | Junior | Forward | 5-11 | Rockford, Il | Iowa Western Community College

"Sydney can score inside and out," said Coach Midlick. "She is strong at the basket and shot almost 40% from 3. She led her team with 14 ppg in a high-level JUCO league. Teams had a difficult time defending her."

She was coached by Zack Loll at Iowa Western CC.



Brooke Smith | Senior | Forward | 5-11 | Siloam Springs, AR | Ouachita Baptist University

"This is not a typo-she averaged 17 points and 17 rebounds in our two games vs. us her sophomore year," said Coach Midlick. "I recruited her heavily out of high school. She can score inside and all the way to the 3-point line. She sees the floor really well."
