Women's Hoops Signs JMU Transfer Poole

Morehead, Ky. -- The Morehead State women's basketball team has signed Nashville native Alonna Poole to play with the Eagles next season.
 
"Alonna is an outstanding addition to our program," said MSU head coach Jackie Alexander. "I've had the privilege of building a relationship with her since recruiting her out of high school, and she has
consistently impressed me with her talent and ability. She is a dynamic athlete and natural scorer who will make an immediate impact on our team."
 
Poole comes to Morehead State after playing at James Madison. She appeared in 12 games in her freshman season (2024-25) and took a redshirt year this season.
 
Poole earned all-district and all-region honors as a junior at Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She averaged 15.6 points and 7.1 rebounds per game while shooting 50% from the floor and 83% from the free throw line.
 
"At Morehead State, everywhere I turned there was someone willing to help and support me, and that meant a lot," said Poole. "Building a relationship with Coach Jackie made my decision even clearer. I knew it was a great fit and I felt truly welcomed."
