That would certainly be a huge disappointment for her. However, another big loss for her in terms of her game development will be not being able to play against decent AAU competition this spring and summer.
 
Report on new POI Zaniah Zellous for WV players though she is a '25 not a '26.


Zaniah Zellous, Linsly, 6-2, Post – Zellous stands as the undisputed best player in the class of 2026.

Yes, already. Any time someone can touch the rim as a ninth-grader, it tends to make a big splash. That’s not all that stands out about the Linsly frosh. Not even close. Looking at her entire game gives a more in-depth diagnosis of her early development.


As a shot blocker, she’s nailed the concept of letting the ball come to her instead of swatting down at smaller plays. As a tall wing, she can run the floor and bring the ball up the court with confidence.


Her floor presence brings it all together, especially on the offensive end. By already being so plugged into the Linsly offense, she actively reads when a teammate is driving and clears out of the lane but gets back down in the post for the rebound in two or three steps. She covers so much ground, it’s not surprising when she snags the board.

A few freshmen to watch in the Mountain State | Prep Girls Hoops

Freshmen don’t usually make an immediate impact on the high school game. At least, not at first. Whether they struggle to grasp plays, can’t quite find their shot during valuable playing time, or they just aren’t ready – a multitude of things can keep them off the hardwood. That doesn’t mean...

Shavonte Zellous is 35. Might she be Zaniah's Mom???
Shavonte went to Pittsburgh for her college career....kinda close to West Virginia.

Is it possible that our very own Huskie forever Shea Ralph was an assistant at Pitt when Shavonte played there?

A younger sister?
 
"I don't know what to say about Coach Shea other than we just loved her," Zellous said. "She was a great inspiration to us because she's been there and knows what it takes to get to the next level, the one I'm trying to reach"

Since we don’t have transfer thread on the main board Coach Valley just followed grad transfer Kari Niblack formerly of WVU.

Her numbers don't really stand out - she's a 6'1" forward with an inside game........in 20 minutes she averaged 7.6 pts/ 4 rebounds per game this past season at WVU but she was Honorable Mention Big 12 twice, Academic Big12 First Team and Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year.........she could serve a role off the bench spotting Edwards for a few minutes.......

Niblack has averaged 5.8 rebounds a game over her career in 23 minutes. Plus 1.6 blocks. That's not shabby.
 
Zealous is extremely impressive. Exceptional with both hands. Runs the foor well. Good size. Could be an athletic wing with shooting ability. How many freshmen have a left hand like that when they are right handed?

Cousin, aunt?

Betts had a quiet season and her team didn't play a lot of games. Rice is the next ranked player on ESPN's list and her team is #1 in the country so....there's your winner.
 
Betts is clearly the better player. Kiki had much better PR being with the top team. I'm not sure she was even the best player on that team. Not against Kiki though. She's a great player.

Someone here said Betts would win. I had my doubts, as Kiki's team is exceptional.

Sue Bird presented the award to Kiki by Zoom.

I think I said something to the effect that Betts might be the best player in the college game next year. In hindsight that was probably optimistic but if I had to draft anyone from that class it would definitely be Betts.

The BY has a very good search feature what you actually said was:

"With USA basketball last year Betts was the best player on that team and a year younger than almost everyone else. It wasn't even close. She will be an all american next year. Bank on it.

Clearly your infatuation with Betts continues and just a friendly reminder that this is a UCONN recruiting thread.
