Women’s college basketball lost a ton of talent to the WNBA in 2024, as the likes of Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Aaliyah Edwards, among others, left for the pros.
But, there’s still plenty of talent in the college ranks. Here, we rank the top 10 women’s college basketball players.
Best Women’s College Basketball Players in 2025
Just Missed:
- Sedona Prince, C, TCU Horned Frogs
- Diamond Johnson, G, Norfolk State Spartans
- Izzy Higginbottom, G, Arkansas Razorbacks
- Olivia Miles, G, Notre Dame
- Katie Dinnebier, G, Drake
10) MiLaysia Fulwiley, G, South Carolina
South Carolina Gamecocks point guard MiLaysia Fulwiley might be the most fun player in the college game. She’s a highlight-reel dribbler with a fearlessness that plays well in Dawn Staley’s system.
The Gamecocks lack an elite big for the first time in a decade, so Fulwiley is growing into a role as a star. You’ll probably see her on SportsCenter’s top 10, like she’s been multiple times this season.
9) Georgia Amoore, G, Kentucky WIldcats
A four-year starter at Virginia Tech, Georgia Amoore has raised her level of play with the Kentucky Wildcats. She’s third in the country in assists, and she’s averaging over 18 points per game.
The Wildcats have achieved their highest ranking in nearly five years and Amoore has them as dark horse contenders in a loaded SEC.
8) Lauren Betts, C, UCLA Bruins
UCLA is the No. 1 team in the country and center Lauren Betts is playing as well as anyone in the country right now. The junior is averaging just under 20 points a game with 10 boards and 2.1 blocks per game.
Betts is shooting nearly 62%, 11th-best in the country, and she’s leading the Bruins to a great season. If the Bruins make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, Betts will be a huge reason why.
7) Flau’Jae Johnson, G, LSU
Angel Reese may be gone, but Flau’Jae Johnson has the LSU Tigers rolling in 2025. The junior guard has stepped up to be the go-to scorer for the Tigers.
Johnson is a strong rebounder and court general as well. She and the No. 5 player on this list have the Tigers in position to make a deep postseason run.
6) Hailey Van Lith, G, TCU
A fifth-year senior, Hailey Van Lith has completely transformed her game in her first year with the TCU Horned Frogs. Previously a “shoot-first” combo guard, Van Lith has turned into a highly-efficient scorer and elite distributor.
She’s shooting a career-high 46% from the field while nearly doubling her previous career-high in assists, averaging over six a game.
5) Aneesah Morrow, F, LSU
Aneesah Morrow is running away with the lead for most double-doubles, with at least 10 points and 10 rebounds in all but two games this season. She’s averaging nearly 19 points and 15 rebounds a game and has improved substantially as a three-point threat.
The former DePaul transfer has settled into the SEC nicely and should be a high draft pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft as one of the few elite post players in the game this year.
4) Ti’Niya Latson, G, Florida State
The best scorer in the country, Ti’Niya Latson has improved defensively as a junior, leading the Florida State Seminoles with 2.7 steals per game.
She’s gone over 30 points in a game six times this year while being held under 20 just once by power conference competition.
3) Audi Crooks, C, Iowa State
Audi Crooks burst onto the scene as a freshman with the Stanford Cardinal, averaging nearly 20 points a game.
This year, she’s shifted her attitude and playing style with the Iowa State Cyclones. Crooks has abandoned the three-point shot, instead dominating every player she faces in the paint. She’s shooting over 60% from the floor and taking on double and triple teams under the basket.
2) Hannah Hidalgo, G, Notre Dame
While a different sophomore guard sits atop the list, (for now) Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo might be the favorite to win the Naismith Player of the Year award.
Hidalgo is second in the country in scoring, averaging almost 26 points per game on over 50% shooting. That mark includes a ridiculous 46% clip from behind the arc. Not bad for a 5’6″ point guard.
1) Juju Watkins, G, USC Trojans
A 6’2″ guard, there’s no sophomore slump for USC Trojans superstar Juju Watkins. Watkins burst onto the scene as a freshman by averaging over 27 points a game. This season, even though her scoring totals have ticked down slightly, Watkins has improved her shooting and distribution, shooting 46% from the floor and averaging 3.9 assists per game.
She’s a superstar and is looking to carry her Trojans to a deep NCAA Tournament run.
