Part III: Who We Checkin'?

Welcome to our series, "Who We Checkin'?" This is where we feature women's college basketball players that we think may be on to bigger things during the 2020-21 season.

For various reasons, women's basketball has the opportunity to really explode over the next few seasons and we're going to do our best to let you know about the amazing women that you may not know but should as we share their basketball journey and growth as student athletes.
