Arkansas women’s basketball lands a second ORU transfer in Emily Robinson

BY DUDLEY E. DAWSON

New Arkansas women’s head basketball coach Kelsi Musick continued adding to her roster on Saturday, this time with another familiar face.

Emily Robinson, a 5-10 guard who played for Musick at Oral Roberts University the past two seasons, confirmed via her social media that she will be transferring to Arkansas.


Robinson joins former ORU teammate Taleyah Jones and former Kansas player Wyvette Mayberry as transfers coming into the program.


Robinson, who will have two years of eligibility left, shined last season in ORU’s 94-73 win over Arkansas at Bud Walton Arena.

She had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in that game – one of 16 contests that she scored in double figures last season.

Robinson averaged 10 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists last season while playing an average of 31 minutes per game.

A former Caddo, Okla., prep standout that scored 2,200 points in her high school career, Robinson was named the Summit League Freshman of the Year back in 2023-2024.

Jones, a 5-10 guard who will be a senior, averaged a team-leading 18.1 points per game last season and had 23 points in ORU’s win at Arkansas last season.


A former Texas-Arlington player, Jones was a first-team All-Summit League selection this past season after being the league’s newcomer of the year the previous season.


Mayberry the daughter of former Arkansas All-American and NBA player Lee Mayberry, is a 5-7 guard that will be playing her sixth year of college basketball.

She averaged 10.1 points, 2.6 assists and 2.6 rebounds in her three years at Kansas after starting her college career with two seasons at Tulsa.

Mayberry only got to play in six Kansas games in 2024-25 before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
