"Utilizing tools like Synergy Sports and Cerebro Sports for film and advanced analytics, we put the top newcomers in the country under the microscope, examining usage rates, statistics and general efficiencies as well as team rankings and strength of schedule to decide the top 10 impact freshmen in the country. We've also factored in each players' responsibility within their various teams, the results they helped produce and their influence on conference races."
"Davidson is developing into a major impact player -- regardless of class -- on both ends. She stuffs the stat sheet, leading the No. 19 Trojans in points (16.0), rebounds (6.7), assists (3.9) and blocks (2.5), highlighted by a 22-point, 12-rebound Big Ten debut against Washington. As a defender, Davidson can single-handedly change a possession in USC's favor whether on the ball or as help in rotation."
More than six weeks into the 2025-26 season, a new wave of impact freshmen is emerging in women's college basketball. Film and advanced-analytics tools such as Synergy Sports and Cerebro Sports were used to evaluate newcomers across usage rates, statistics, efficiencies, team rankings and strength of schedule. Evaluations also considered each player's team responsibilities, contributions to results and influence on conference races. Some preseason projections missed significant time due to injury and were excluded. USC's Davidson leads the No. 19 Trojans in points (16.0), rebounds (6.7), assists (3.9) and blocks (2.5). Oklahoma's Chavez is a high-volume, deep-threat scorer, leading No. 8 Oklahoma at 18.8 PPG.
