Timya Thurman brings size, rim protection, and a blue-collar interior presence to Southern Miss
Thurman is a 6-5 center whose value is tied to impact plays more than box-score volume: she has shown efficient finishing, shot-blocking, and physical rebounding in limited minutes, and Southern Miss lists her as a senior with Auburn experience. In 2024-25 at Auburn, she played 13 games off the bench and posted 7 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks, while her prep profile highlighted a “rebounding machine” with contact balance and enough ball skill to handle pressure when needed. She fits as a depth big who can protect the paint and bring toughness.[7][10][13][18]
