On the tails of the move being reported prior, the Ohio State women’s basketball team has officially welcomed transfer Hevynne Bristow from Providence. She will have to sit out this upcoming season because of NCAA transfer rules, but will be eligible for the 2021-2022 season.
“I’m excited to add Hevynne to our program,” said Ohio State head coach Kevin McGuff in an email release. “She is a great kid that I think will add a lot to our team both on and off the court. Her mix of size and length and athleticism will be a perfect fit for our program.”
At Providence, Bristow appeared in 29 games, with three starts in 2019-20 as a freshman — averaging 2.7 points and 2.2 rebounds per game last season. Bristow played her prep ball at Brooklyn Community of Arts and Media where she was a top-100 recruit and recorded over 1,500 points, 1,000 rebounds and 500 assists.

Her arrival helps offset the loss of a couple of players from last year, Kierstan Bell and Janai Crooms. Bristow will have three years of eligibility left.
