ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis women's basketball head coach Rebecca Tillett has announced the signing of D'Myjah "DJ" Bolds for the 2026-27 season.
 
Bolds is a 6-foot-3 forward from O'Fallon, Illinois, who joins the Billikens from Western Michigan.
 
"We are excited to bring this state champion closer to home to play in front of her family and friends," Tillett said. "On the defensive side of the ball, D'Myjah's length and shot blocking ability will translate immediately. On the offensive side, she is efficient, versatile, and can stretch the floor. She is driven and has the desire to put in the extra time required to achieve her dreams and ours. She is the type of person that will bring teammates with her. She carries excellence into classroom pursuits. She is the oldest of four siblings and is an exemplary role model for her younger sisters. She has the type of inner drive that we need to propel our program back to championship heights."
 
Bolds is coming off a strong sophomore campaign in which she appeared in 27 games with 11 starts, averaging 22.5 minutes per contest. She posted 7.4 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 52 percent from the field, ranking sixth in the Mid-American Conference. She also averaged 1.0 block per game, good for ninth in the league.
 
Prior to her collegiate career, Bolds starred at O'Fallon High School, where she helped lead the program to its first IHSA Class 4A state championship as a junior. She ranks second all-time in program history in blocks, third in rebounds and seventh in scoring. Off the court, Bolds has excelled academically. She earned CSC Academic All-District honors this past season and carries a 3.97 GPA.
 
"Joining the SLU women's basketball program means becoming part of a tradition of excellence, both on and off the court," Bolds said. "I know I'll be surrounded by great coaches and teammates to continue helping me strive."
