Utah Women’s Basketball Signs Former Rhode Island Forward For 2024-25 Season

SALT LAKE CITY – Utah women’s basketball got a little better Monday afternoon after announcing the signing of former Rhode Island forward Mayé Touré.

Touré’s signing came in addition to the official signing of former Michigan forward Chyra Evans which had previously been announced.

According to reports, Touré had previously announced she was heading to Maryland for the 2024-25 basketball season, but apparently somewhere along the way had a change of heart and will now be with Lynne Roberts and the Utes.
