WICHITA, Kan. (Release) - Wichita State head coach Terry Nooner announced the signing of three student-athletes to National Letters of Intent Friday morning.

Taylor Jameson, Jasmine Peaks and Maimouna Sissoko are set to join the Shocker basketball team for the 2024-25 season.

Taylor Jameson – Guard – Wichita, Kan. – George Mason

Jameson, a Wichita native, comes to Wichita State as a graduate transfer after playing four seasons at George Mason. The guard has scored 1,033 points in her career, scoring in double figures 48 times with a career-high 26 points against Florida International as a junior. Jameson etched her name on George Mason’s all-time top-10 list for three-point makes, finishing her Patriot career at No. 9 all-time with 138. In high school, Jameson led Wichita Heights to the 2020 sub-state championship, earned the Top-5 All-Metro Girls Award and was named First Team All-GWAL.

“I’m passionate about representing my hometown, and I leave it all on the court every single night,” Jameson said.

Coach Nooner on Jameson:

“Taylor making her way back to Wichita State is a game-changer for our team! Taylor’s connection to Wichita runs deep, and her commitment to being a positive influence for the young girls in our community who dream of playing for their hometown team is truly inspiring. Her toughness, tenacity, and competitive drive are unmatched, and I have no doubt that our fans are going to be blown away by her skills on the court. As a true lead guard, Taylor has the ability to make a significant impact on both ends of the floor, and I can’t wait to see her in action.”

Jasmine Peaks – Guard – Palm Bay, Fla. – Indian River State College

Peaks joins the Shockers as a junior after spending two years at Indian River State College. The guard started 28 games for the Pioneers last season, averaging 11.4 points per game as the Pioneers finished as the Citrus Conference runners-up. In 2022-23, Peaks helped her team to the Citrus Conference title, and prior to college, Peaks led Tampa Bay Tech to the 2019 state championship title.

Coach Nooner on Peaks:

“Jasmine is a true leader and coach on the floor, known for her exceptional court vision and playmaking abilities, she is poised to wow fans with her highlight passes and creative scoring opportunities for her teammates. Her leadership both on and off the court will be instrumental in guiding the team to success.”

Maimouna Sissoko – Forward – Bamako, Mali – Cloud County CC

Sissoko comes to Wichita State after two seasons with Cloud County CC, where she set the single-season rebounds record with 392 rebounds last season. The forward averaged 12.6 rebounds per game and led the team in scoring with 16.5 points per game on 44.6 percent shooting from the field in 2023-24. She recorded 48 steals and 28 blocks for the T-Birds, and finished her Cloud County CC career with a total of 852 points and 581 rebounds. Sissoko was named First Team All-KJCCC as a sophomore after earning Second Team All-KJCCC as a freshman.

Coach Nooner on Sissoko:

“Mai will bring a formidable physical presence to the paint for Wichita State. As a dominant force on both ends of the court, Mai has established herself as a double-double machine and ranked in the top eight in NJCAA rebounding. Her tenacity, athleticism, and relentless work ethic will bolster the team’s front court and provide a valuable inside presence.”
