Best Georgia Lady Bulldogs Women's Basketball Players of All Time

Last Updated on May 30, 2026 by Mat Diekhake

Georgia women’s basketball has one of the deepest histories in the sport, so a real legends list has to weigh more than just raw totals. National awards, Final Four runs, SEC titles, Hall of Fame status, and how much a player shaped the identity of the Lady Bulldogs all matter here. Georgia’s record book and program history make that clear: this is a program built on elite guards, dominant posts, and stars who carried the school onto the national stage.

1. Teresa Edwards

Years with Georgia: 1982–1986
Position: Guard
Notable achievements:
- Georgia career assists leader
- Four-time Olympian
- Consensus All-American
- Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer

Teresa Edwards gets the top spot because her legacy goes beyond Georgia while still being deeply rooted in Georgia history. She remains the Lady Bulldogs’ career assists leader with 653, was a consensus All-American, has her jersey retired, and became the first Lady Bulldog inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. On top of that, she was the lead guard for one of the teams that helped push Georgia from strong SEC program to national brand.

2. Katrina McClain

Years with Georgia: 1983–1987
Position: Forward/Center
Notable achievements:
- 1987 National Player of the Year
- 1987 SEC Player of the Year
- One of Georgia’s top three all-time scorers
- Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer

Katrina McClain has a case for No. 1 because her peak was outrageous. She won National Player of the Year honors in 1987, still owns Georgia’s single-season scoring record with 796 points, holds the school career field-goal percentage mark at .620, and ranks third in program history with 2,195 points. When the conversation turns to the most dominant frontcourt force Georgia ever had, McClain is usually the answer.

3. Janet Harris

Years with Georgia: 1981–1985
Position: Forward/Center
Notable achievements:
- Georgia all-time leading scorer
- Georgia all-time leading rebounder
- Four-time All-American
- National Freshman of the Year

Janet Harris belongs near the very top because she still owns the two biggest volume records in program history. She finished with 2,641 points and 1,398 rebounds, both still Georgia career records, and averaged 20.2 points and 10.7 boards across her career. Add in her four-time All-America status and the fact that she helped launch Georgia into the national elite in the early Andy Landers years, and her legend status is automatic.

4. Saudia Roundtree

Years with Georgia: 1994–1996
Position: Guard
Notable achievements:
- 1996 National Player of the Year
- 1996 SEC Player of the Year
- Led Georgia to the 1996 Final Four
- One of the best point guards in school history

Saudia Roundtree did not spend four years in Athens, but her peak was too great to rank lower. She won consensus National Player of the Year honors in 1996, became the first SEC player since Pete Maravich to win the Naismith award, and captained one of the most feared Georgia teams ever. Her career assist average of 6.4 per game is still the school record, which says plenty about how hard she was to replace. (University of Georgia Athletics)

5. Kelly Miller

Years with Georgia: 1997–2001
Position: Guard
Notable achievements:
- 2000 National Player of the Year
- Two-time SEC Player of the Year
- 2,177 career points
- Led Georgia to the 1999 Final Four

Kelly Miller has one of the strongest modern-era cases on the board. She scored 2,177 points, ranks second in school history in assists with 639, won National Player of the Year honors in 2000, and was twice named SEC Player of the Year. She also drove Georgia’s 1999 Final Four team and gave the program a true star lead guard who could both score and run everything. (University of Georgia Athletics)

6. Coco Miller

Years with Georgia: 1997–2001
Position: Guard
Notable achievements:
- 2,131 career points
- Shares Georgia single-game scoring record with 45 points
- Part of the 1999 Final Four team
- First-round WNBA draft pick

Coco Miller sits right behind her sister because her résumé is almost as loaded. She finished with 2,131 career points, shares Georgia’s single-game scoring record at 45, and helped form one of the best backcourts in program history. The twin pairing changed the look of Georgia basketball at the turn of the century, but Coco’s own scoring punch is strong enough to stand on its own.

7. Tasha Humphrey

Years with Georgia: 2004–2008
Position: Forward
Notable achievements:
- Georgia’s No. 2 all-time scorer
- 2005 National Freshman of the Year
- Two-time AP All-American
- Four-time consensus First-Team All-SEC selection

Tasha Humphrey was one of the most gifted scorers Georgia ever signed. She finished second in program history with 2,272 points, owns the career records for free throws made and attempted, and was the only Lady Bulldog ever to combine National Freshman of the Year, All-America, first-team All-SEC, All-SEC Tournament, and NCAA All-Regional honors in the same freshman season. She was a major talent from day one and stayed a problem her whole career. (University of Georgia Athletics)

8. Kedra Holland-Corn

Years with Georgia: 1993–1997
Position: Guard
Notable achievements:
- AP All-American
- Key player on the 1995 and 1996 Final Four teams
- One of Georgia’s all-time steals leaders
- SEC champion

Kedra Holland-Corn does not always get the same attention as some of the national award winners, but she was central to one of Georgia’s best stretches. She was an AP All-American in 1997, helped lead the Lady Bulldogs to back-to-back Final Fours in 1995 and 1996, and finished among the program’s career leaders in steals. On a program this deep, being a star on those teams carries huge weight. (University of Georgia Athletics)

9. Sherill Baker

Years with Georgia: 2002–2006
Position: Guard
Notable achievements:
- Georgia career steals leader
- 2006 National Defensive Player of the Year
- SEC Defensive Player of the Year
- All-American

Sherill Baker makes the list because her defensive résumé is absurd. She finished with 426 career steals, still the Georgia record, and in 2005-06 she posted 149 steals, breaking both the school and SEC single-season records. She was not just a pest defender either; she became National Defensive Player of the Year and an All-American, which gives her one of the clearest specialist cases in program history.

10. Tawana McDonald

Years with Georgia: 1998–2002
Position: Center
Notable achievements:
- Georgia career blocks leader
- 1,000-point scorer
- Part of SEC title teams
- Elite interior defender

Tawana McDonald rounds out the top 10 because few Georgia posts changed games defensively like she did. She still holds the school record with 297 career blocks and the single-season record with 103, while also joining the 1,000-point club during her career. She was a major piece on successful Georgia teams in the early 2000s, and that defensive footprint has lasted for decades.

Honorable mentions

La’Keshia Frett
Deanna Nolan
Tracy Henderson
Tammye Jenkins
Ashley Houts

La’Keshia Frett and Deanna Nolan were major figures on the 1990s Final Four teams, Tracy Henderson owns one of Georgia’s rare triple-doubles and the single-game blocks record, Tammye Jenkins was a national freshman award winner, and Ashley Houts was one of the best defensive guards the program produced. They all have real cases, which says a lot about how stacked Georgia’s history is.
