ULM Women’s Basketball Signs Clemson Transfer Bradford to 2023-24 Season

Women's Basketball May 08
MONROE, La. – Daisha "Nunu" Bradford, a 5-foot-8 guard who started 53 games at Clemson over the past two seasons, signed a grant-in-aid on Saturday, May 6 to attend ULM and compete in women's basketball in 2023-24.
 
Bradford, who has one year of eligibility remaining, becomes first-year ULM head coach Missy Bilderback's third signee in the 2023 recruiting class, joining 5-9 guard Chardai Watkins, who transferred from Southern Miss, and Jakayla Johnson, a 5-9 guard who transferred from Auburn. Like Johnson, Bradford previously played for Bilderback at Jones College.
 
"We're so excited for Nunu to be a Warhawk," Bilderback said. "She is a big-time guard with an incredible level of experience. Nunu is super talented and a high-volume scorer. She is a true three-level scoring guard. She can impact the game in so many other ways as well. Her length and ability to rebound the ball from the guard position separate her from the rest.
 
"But as good as she is, Nunu also is a tremendous teammate and person, who loves to compete and win. We're so thankful she chose us over so many high-profile programs to come play her last season of college basketball here at ULM. Warhawk fans are going to absolutely love Nunu Bradford."
 
In 2022-23, Bradford started all 35 games for Clemson and averaged 10.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game while helping the Tigers to a 19-16 record and an appearance in the WNIT Super 16. She led the team in 3-point field goals made (52) for the second year in a row while enhancing her reputation as one of the Atlantic Coast Conference's top perimeter defenders, finishing first in the ACC and No. 19 in the NCAA Division I in steals with 83. Bradford also collected a career-best 109 assists.

She tallied 17 points (3-of-5 3FG shooting) and eight rebounds against High Point. Bradford hit 7-of-10 field-goal attempts, including 4-of-6 3s, at Miami (Fla.) and finished with 18 points and four assists. She played a solid all-around game against Syracuse, contributing 19 points on 8-of-16 field-goal shooting to go along with four rebounds and four assists.

She spent two seasons at Tallahassee Community College, averaging 17.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game as a freshman in 2018-19 while earning WBCA All-America honorable mention and first-team All-Panhandle Conference honors as the Eagles went 25-5 and ranked No. 9 in the final poll.
