San José, Calif. – San José State head women's basketball coach Jamie Craighead has announced the signing of Meghan Oberg to the program's 2020-21 signing class. The forward will be eligible immediately as a grad transfer from Rhode Island.
Obeg, originally from Islip, N.Y., brings immediate size and versatility to the Spartans. She made one start in 27 appearances for the Rams on the 2019-20 campaign, a season that was highlighted by a double-double against Davidson back in January.
"Meghan is a graduate transfer and is the final piece to our 2020-21 team," says Craighead. "She adds depth in a number of areas both on offense and defense. She is a stretch forward at 6'3" who can shoot the three but also attack off the bounce and play around the rim."
From Rhody to The Bay ??

The Atlantic 10 product has seen success on the floor dating back to her high school career, where she led Islip High School to both league and country championships. Oberg now heads to Silicon Valley after making 81 appearances in three years of competition at Rhode Island, averaging 17.8 minutes per game on her career.
"We wanted to find players that would fit with our team both on and off the court and Meghan will do just that," Craighead says. "We are thrilled that she is now a Spartan."
Craighead is entering her eighth season at the helm in San José. In addition to Oberg, Craighead's latest recruiting class features Sophia Jones, Alani Fluker and Autam Mendez.
Jones was named the Florida 7A Player of the Year last month while Fluker was named as a McDonald's All-American nominee back in January. Mendez comes to San José State from North Iowa Area CC, where she was named the NJCAA DII Player of the Year for the 2019-20 season.
The Spartans are coming off one of their best seasons in school history as the team's 19 victories marked the nation's largest single-season win turnaround a year ago.
