Kharyssa Richardson is emerging as Mississippi State’s versatile frontcourt scorer
Richardson has been a major late-season boost for Mississippi State in the 2025-26 season, averaging 9.4 points and 4.8 rebounds overall and 12.3 points per game in SEC play, while showing she can swing games with efficient scoring bursts like her 23-point, 7-rebound outing vs. No. 7 Kentucky.[3][5][9] At 6-2, she brings size, physicality, and a steady inside-out game, and her recent surge suggests she is more than a role player—she looks like a forward who can fit a competitive roster as a reliable, high-energy matchup piece.[2][7]
