Who is the next star in the total basketball of women?
The rising separation last season provided some possible answers.
While most of the eyes were glued to the sport – for a good reason – for the likes of USC Juju Watkins, UconnPaige Backers, NotradamHana Hidalgo and TcuHaile Van Laith, there were a few new students who have emerged and helped their teams reach new horizons. Some of them just started scratching the surface on what their potential might have, while others accumulated on decorations, produced statistics full of eye or helped their teams win.
Michigan is an example of a truly bright future team as he had three prominent juniors last season – Sila Siouf, Olivia Olson and Mia Holwai – all of them will return to Wolfirines in the second year. Collectively, the average trio reached 42.1 points, 14.6 rebounds and 9.1 passes for each game.
Others, like Gal Raviv, will not return to school where they spent the rising season. After an average of 17.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.3 passes in Quinobak this year, the 5 -foot guard from Israel will test their skills in the Administrative Coordination Committee after moving to Miami.
While we move in the 2025-26 season, let’s think about what a handful of players have accomplished and think about what they may be able to do after that.
These are Sophomores that need to pay attention to the next season.
