UVA Basketball: Who can Aaron Roussell bring with him from Richmond?

Does new UVA Basketball coach Aaron Roussell bring anybody with him from his previous job at Richmond?

Maybe.

Not, unfortunately, either of his two leading scorers from his 2025-2026 team, 6’2” senior forward Maggie Doogan (21.1 ppg, 7.9 rebounds/g, 3.9 assists/g, 50.6% FG, 40.4% 3FG) and 6’1” senior guard Rachel Ullstrom (13.9 ppg, 5.6 rebounds/g, 47.9% FG, 40.9% 3FG), both of whom are graduating.

The one that Roussell is certain to target is 5’6” junior guard Ally Sweeney (10.5 ppg, 4.4 assists/g, 46.0% FG, 39.9% 3FG), as a second point guard, if Kymora Johnson (19.5 ppg, 5.9 assists/g, 40.9% FG, 36.1% 3FG) returns, and the lead point guard, if KJ bolts.

Which looks likely – Johnson is set to visit South Carolina this weekend.
