    Illini Women's Basketball 2026-2027

    Shauna is going to play the players that she thinks can win the game. Playing time is secondary. It’s not going to be easy to get 10 players the amount of PT they all think they deserve. Destiny, Cearah, and Berry are going to get their 30 or more minutes/game. That leaves 110 split between...

    Fixed it. I too am most interested in Divine.

    How about 7-1 Home. 3-5 Away. 2-0 vs NU.

    Guy has another year of high school. She is in the 2028 class of recruits. We lose Weber and Brown Hager so she would be joining at the right time. Unless the 5 to play 5 rule passes.

    Ona made mention of pursuing an engineering degree. That seems to have played a role in her choosing Illinois. Whatever their reasons for coming to Illinois they both seem like excellent fits in that they both are talented enough to compete in practice and both have the potential to contribute...

    I don’t see Ona getting much playing time. I kinda doubt she’s anywhere near as good as Destiny, Jasmine, Aaliyah, or Divine. And then add Berry, Cearah, Gretchen, and Maddy. This is going to be one tough lineup to crack. Especially if Gretchen and Manuela are 100%.

    A depth piece but also seems to have some potential.

    I like to think that the reason we havent brought in a big is because Shauna is confident that we have enough talent with Manu, Lety, and Cearah to get the job done. As it stands now I see a 9 player rotation with Lety getting very limited minutes. Divine is going to be key. Can she live up...

    From what little I’ve seen of Alves I think she is far superior to Lety in every phase of the game. Letys size is definitely a factor in her favor though. I just hope between the two of them that they can relieve Parchment from playing all of her minutes in the post.

    I agree. Seems like that staying healthy is a big if every year though. With the 4 guards we have Destiny, Divine, Jasmine, and Aaliyah our guard play floor is high and the ceiling is very high. The same with our wings/forwards, Berry, Cearah, Maddie, and Gretchen. High floor and very high...
