“The coaching staff and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome Brooklynn back home. She is a proud hometown girl, who understands the responsibility of wearing Kentucky across her chest," says Head Coach Kyra Elzy. "Not to mention, she’ll join Amiya and Maddie as a trio of Miss Kentucky Basketball honorees on one team! On the court, Brooklynn is an explosive guard, which will fit our up-tempo style of play, and she is a tenacious defender. Brooklynn has a competitive mindset, and she is ready to get to work for the upcoming season.”
Miles, a 5-4 lightning-quick guard, spent the last two seasons at Tennessee. During her time on Rocky Top, Miles played in 56 games, averaging 1.8 points per game, 2.1 rebounds per game, and 1.5 assists per game. She shot 40.% from the field during that timeframe, including 46.7% from the field as a sophomore in 2022-23.
