Jenkins Acquires Miles at Pitt: UK’s Up-and-Coming Talent Joins Panthers
Jenkins will be attending Pitt alongside Brooklynn Miles, a fellow UK transfer, and the 2021 Miss Kentucky Basketball. Miles committed to the Panthers on April 20. Pitt is adding intriguing players to its roster despite its difficult season, in which it finished 14th in the ACC with an 8-24 record.
They have added guard Audrey Biggs from Boyd County, who graduated from high school in 2024, to the roster, making three Kentuckians total. Cassidy Rowe, a rising junior guard from Kentucky, will be the only Kentuckian on the UK squad for 2024–25.
In addition to transfers Georgia Amoore and Clara Strack from Virginia Tech, Teonni Key from North Carolina, Dazia Lawrence from Charlotte, and Jordan Obi from Penn, the Wildcats’ 2024–25 roster is led by returners Rowe and Saniah Tyler.
Amelia Hassett from Eastern Florida State College, foreign star Clara Silva, and exceptional Lexi Blue (ranked No. 40) from Lake Highland Prep comprise the intriguing class of 2024 recruits. Prior to joining Virginia Tech, all three had committed to coach Kenny Brooks.
Furthermore, Chattanooga, Tennessee’s Tanah Becker, who was previously committed to former coach Kyra Elzy, has signed with Brooks.
