WICHITA – Wichita State women's basketball head coach Terry Nooner announced the addition of strength and conditioning coach Jasmine Morris and graduate assistants Shomari Harris and Mandy Willems Friday morning.
 
"I'm excited to announce the addition of three exceptional individuals to our Wichita State coaching staff, each bringing a unique set of skills and experiences that will elevate our program," Nooner said. "We couldn't be more ecstatic to welcome Jasmine, Mandy, and Shomari to our Shocker family. Their impact will be immediate, and I'm confident they'll play a significant role in our journey to success."
 
Morris joins the Shockers after spending two years at Florida Atlantic, where she worked with the Owls' women's basketball, volleyball, women's soccer and men's tennis teams, designing sport specific training programs and providing dietary counsel to enhance student-athlete performance. Prior to her time with the Owls, Morris spent time at
Morehead State and Florida International along with Barwis Performance Center and GameFace Training. Morris graduated from Nova Southeastern University in 2021 with a bachelor's degree in exercise and sports science and was a member of the Sharks' rowing team.
 
"Jasmine comes to us from Florida Atlantic with outstanding recommendations," Nooner said. "She's driven by a deep passion for developing young athletes and helping them reach their highest potential. Her commitment to their growth, both on and off the court, aligns perfectly with our program's mission."
 
Graduate assistant Shomari Harris comes to Wichita State after serving as assistant women's basketball coach at Kilgore College in Kilgore, Texas. Prior to Kilgore, she played professional basketball from 2018-22 in El Salvador, Greece and Iran. Harris played college basketball for Texas A&M Commerce before transferring to Cal State East Bay, where she tied the Pioneers' single-game three-point field goals record (7).
 
"Shomari, who has already built an impressive coaching career and played professionally, will be instrumental in guiding our players toward their dreams of playing beyond WSU," Nooner said. "A self-made player with a wealth of global basketball experience, her maturity and insights will be invaluable to our team's success."
 
Graduate assistant Mandy Willems graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2022, where she played basketball for and was mentored by current Wichita State assistant coach Patrick Harrison, setting the Roos' record for three-point field goals made in a half (7) in 2021. Willems served as a volunteer assistant coach for Johnson County Community College women's basketball in 2022-23.
 
"Mandy, a former First Team JuCo All-American and one of the best shooters in the country, brings a contagious energy and love for the game that's impossible to ignore," Nooner said. "Her championship mentality and winning ways will be felt the moment she steps on campus, and we're thrilled to have her competitive spirit on our side."
