"The class of 2025 freshmen are officially on campus, and with the women's college basketball season just a month away, things are getting real. These players dominated on their high school and club courts, but this next level brings busier schedules, higher expectations and stronger competition -- not to mention the challenge of improving the finer details of one's game every day. Some will have more impact on their teams from day one and shape their college seasons."
"The 2024 No. 1 recruit started for the Huskies from day one, became a national champion and was consensus freshman of the year -- while averaging 16.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists on 59% shooting from the field and 39% from 3. She had 24 points and 15 rebounds in the national title game, cementing one of the most efficient seasons in the country."
"The nation's No. 1 recruit should step into a major role immediately with JuJu Watkins sitting out this season to recover from an ACL tear. Davidson blends an innate feel for scoring, playmaking and defense, so expect her to handle the challenge as smoothly as she plays. USC reached the Elite Eight last season then lost a couple key perimeter players to the transfer portal, and there won't be a grace period to get up and running."
Freshmen from the class of 2025 have arrived on campus and face busier schedules, stronger competition and daily demands to refine skills. A few newcomers are expected to make immediate contributions and shape team fortunes. UConn's Sarah Strong set a high bar last season by starting, winning a national title and earning consensus freshman of the year honors while averaging 16.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists on highly efficient shooting. Jazzy Davidson, the nation's top recruit, is projected to assume a primary ballhandling and playmaking role at USC as JuJu Watkins recovers from an ACL tear.
