6'3" Miami (OH) freshman Emily VanTimmeren brings size and efficient shooting touch
Emily VanTimmeren is a 6'3" forward whose current value is in giving Miami (OH) length, interior presence, and efficient finishing rather than high-volume scoring; in the 2025-26 season she averaged 1.1 points, 0.6 rebounds, and shot 44.0% from the field while appearing in 28 games.[1][4][5] Miami’s roster note also shows she has an unusual development arc—she enrolled at Miami in December after three seasons at Grand Valley State and arrived with experience beyond a typical freshman, which can help with maturity and adaptability.[2][3] She looks like a fit for a team that needs a big, active forward who can defend, rebound, and play within a role, even if her offense is still emerging.[3][5]
