Andeija Puckett was a rugged, low-post anchor for Ole Miss
Andeija Puckett was a 6-foot-2 center for Ole Miss whose game was built on physicality, rebounding, and interior defense; in the 2018-19 season at Cincinnati, she averaged 4.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks per game, and she arrived in Oxford as a three-star ESPN recruit after leaving Griffin High as its all-time leader in scoring (1,330) and rebounds (790). Her biggest differentiator was old-school frontcourt toughness: shot blocking, board work, and the kind of paint presence coaches appreciate even when the box score stays modest. The catch is availability — she missed 2019-20 due to transfer rules and then was sidelined for the 2020-21 season with a knee injury, so any fit question has to start with health.
