PITTSBURG – Pittsburg State University women's basketball head coach Amanda Davied announced today (Aug. 7) the addition of four newcomers to round out the 2026-27 roster.
"This entire group of newcomers are competitive and fit our needs and wants," said Davied. "They've played with and against some of the best in the country. As always, they are great people on and off the court, while also being astute in the classroom. We are excited for them to come in, contribute immediately and raise the competition within the program. This should be a fun group for our fans to get to know and watch.
Anaiyah Fletcher: 6-1, Forward/Center from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada | University of North Dakota
Fletcher began her collegiate career at Division I University of North Dakota, where in 2025-26 she played in 14 games off the bench for the Fighting Hawks. Did not appear in any game during the 2024-25 campaign at UND.
Prepped at Bond Academy, where in 2023-24 she was named the team MVP after averaging a near double-double at 9.4 points and 10.1 rebounds a game. In 2023-24, recorded four double-doubles with seven games finishing with 10 or more rebounds and six games with double figure scoring totals.
Daughter of Tina and Jermine Fletcher, Anaiyah plans to major in psychology at Pittsburg State.
"Anaiyah fills a much-needed role in the Forward position. She played the 5 at North Dakota and her past experience should be a tremendous help for our group. She will help defend the forwards and small post in our league that like to get physical and play around the rim. Anaiyah really gives us depth and flexibility as a true forward; we are excited to see her develop and grow over the coming years."
Charley Rawlins: 5-8, Guard from Fayetteville, Ark. | Fayetteville High School
Rawlins will begin her collegiate career with the Gorillas after completing a productive prep career at Fayetteville High School.
As a junior (2024-25), she was part of the Fayetteville team that finished as the Arkansas 6A State runner-up, while also claiming All-Conference laurels. For her career, Rawlins shot .401 from behind the arc while scoring 12 points per game as a Bulldog. Set the school record for made three-pointers in a season with 115.
Daughter of Natasha and Ryan Rawlins, Charley is undecided on her major at PSU.
"Charley is more than a shooter, but when you or the competition watch her, you're going to say, that girl can shoot! Her #1 asset is that she will demand the defense stretches to her, which will in turn help her and our other guards get to the rim. Charley's basketball IQ will help her see the floor quickly and is huge in her transition to MIAA play. She's a complete gym rat, as are the others, and is a great fit for our program."
Landri Schaffer: 6-0, Guard/Forward from Gardner, Kan. | Gardner Edgerton High School
Schaffer comes to Pittsburg State after a historic prep career at Gardner Edgerton High School, setting the school's game, season and career scoring records.
A four-year letter winner on the basketball court while also being part of the track and cross country programs at GEHS. On the basketball court, she also holds the career program records for made three-pointers, steals and free throw percentage. For her career, Landri averaged 24 points, six steals, five assists and two blocks a game. Named first-team All-State twice and a four-time first-team All-League performer as a Trailblazer.
Daughter of Michelle and Craig Schaffer, Landri plans to major in business at Pitt State.
"Landri is an athletic, bouncy 6-ft combo guard. She was the number 2 ranked player in the state of Kansas, and we are excited for what she's going to add to our program. She's a great fit in every way. Her length on defense and her ability to get deflections, rebounds and run the floor, will help us transition right into our fast pace of play offensively. Landri will have a much larger impact on the game than just scoring."
Jessi Yarbrough: 5-10, Guard/Forward from Dallas, Texas | Dallas Home School Athletic Association
Yarbrough joins Pitt State after claiming a National Championship as a senior for the Dallas Home School Athletic Association.
A four-year letter winner for the Angels on the basketball court, Jessi scored over 1,000 career points and averaged 14 points a game as a senior in 2025-26. Named the team MVP as a senior, helping the team claim the 18U NCHC (National Christian) Girls National Championship in Springfield, Mo., in March.
Daughter of Angie Peters and Tommy Yarbrough, Jessi plans to major in psychology at PSU.
"Jessi will be one to compete for time and showcase her ability to plug holes wherever we might need her. She can score at all 3 levels, and she is a strong built guard to help deal with the physicality, especially on defense, in our league and region. I'm excited for Jessi to continue to develop her game and build her impact quickly. I know we'll need her and I am confident her skills and strengths will help get us to compete at the top of MIAA."
