RENO, Nev. - Nevada basketball coach Jane Albright has signed another transfer, Jade Redmon who comes to Nevada from Eastern Washington. Redmon will have two years of eligibility remaining and will be available to compete next season.
"Jade completes an outstanding recruiting class. She is an unselfish combo guard with a very high basketball IQ," said Albright. "Her ability to guard the ball will benefit our defensive system. She has won at every level and we expect her to contribute immediately. She is also an outstanding student and leader."
Redmon is a 5-7 guard originally from Spokane, Wash. and started in 52 games during her two years at Eastern Washington. As a freshman she ranked first in the Big Sky and 37th nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio. Throughout her second year with the Eagles she averaged 10.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game to earn an All-Big Sky honorable mention. Additionally Redmon posted the program's first triple-double during a win over Wichita State where she put up 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists and was named the conference player of the week.
During her high school years at Mead High School in Spokane, Redmon was a four-year starter. As a senior she received 4A Washington State Player of the Year honors after she led her team to a state championship. She was twice named first team All-GSL, earned first team all-state honors as a senior and received an all-GSL honorable mention as a sophomore. In her final two seasons she averaged 14 points per game each year.
