MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The University of Memphis women’s basketball team continues to add new faces for the upcoming 2024-25 season with the addition of Ti’lan “Tilly” Boler.
“Tilly is an addition that we considered priority,” head coach Alex Simmons said. “She is a versatile guard with great size and high basketball IQ. Her love for the game is infectious and I can’t wait to add her skillset and tenacity to our team.”
Boler, a Meridian, Mississippi, native, comes to Memphis after four seasons at Jackson State where she appeared in 115 games and averaged 8.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game for the Tigers. The 6-1 guard ranked first on the team in total scoring (387) this past season in route to a 26-7 overall record and a perfect 18-0 spot in SWAC play. Boler would finish the year with 12.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game this season while averaging just over 26 minutes played.
During her senior season in Jackson, Boler reached double-figure scoring on 22 occasions, including a career-high 25 points and 12 rebounds against UConn in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. In the final five games of the season, Boler went on to average just over 15 points and 5.4 rebounds per contest.
A two-time All-SWAC First Team honoree, Boler comes to the Bluff City just three points shy of 1,000 career points with 404 rebounds under her belt.
Boler hit the transfer portal following the departure of Tomekia Reed to Charlotte.
Coming out of high school, Boler averaged 15 points and 12 rebounds for Meridian High School in her senior season.
