Here’s a story about women’s college basketball from the Associated Press:

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese have helped take women’s basketball to new levels over the past two years. Even though ratings are down from last season’s record high, there are plenty of talented players like Paige Bueckers, JuJu Watkins, Deja Kelly and Hannah Hidalgo who are ready to continue the rise.

“I know we lost some great things with Angel and Caitlin, but we gained a lot more. We gained so much more talent, skill and marketability,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. “I’m really looking forward to it. I’m glad it happened at a time when I can witness it and share it with other people who are just tuning in.”

Watkins, a Los Angeles native, draws attention at home games in Southern California, which regularly sell out and are known to have celebrity crowds.

“I don’t know that there’s a young African-American superstar in women’s basketball at this age who could have this platform, and I think this will bring a lot to the communities in LA and across the country,” USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. “I wouldn’t bet on her being able to handle anything. At the same time, it’s our job to prepare her for what might come and make sure she can have joy and be a child.”

USC sought advice from Iowa on how to handle the heavy attention Watkins faces this year. The USC sophomore said it was special that Caitlin Clark offered to help her during their first meeting if she ever needed advice on how to navigate being the face of women’s basketball.

“She’s great. “It shows what a good person she is outside of basketball,” Watkins said. “Having that kind of mentorship and that relationship with her definitely means a lot. She has had the greatest impact on women’s basketball and it is truly inspiring to witness her journey.”

Watkins is part of a really talented second class. Three of the five preseason All-Americans are sophomores, the first time ever.

“I never thought I would be the face of anything,” said Hidalgo, one of three All-Americans. “I had no expectations when I came in. I just wanted to come in, play basketball and of course win. Just seeing this cross-generational talent is something really special.”

Bueckers and Kelly close the gap between the next group and the previous group. They both started school at the same time as Clark. Bueckers’ career was temporarily put on hold due to injury, while Kelly is part of the last class that can benefit from a COVID year.

“I think we had one of the best classes in a while, my 2020 class,” said Kelly, who transferred from North Carolina to Oregon for her final season. “And since half of them declared for the draft last year, of course a lot of them are still in school. I don’t want people to forget that.”

A decade ago, the exceptional players were only available at a handful of schools, but now they are spread across the country, giving more people the opportunity to witness their glory. Watching more games on television has also helped, giving players more exposure at an earlier age through names, images and likenesses.

“I just think there are a lot of stars just waiting to explode,” NC State coach Wes Moore said. “And with the attention and coverage we’re getting now, there will be a lot of new stars coming onto the market.”

Kelly sees that the sport is in good hands and will continue to thrive even after the rest of her class is gone.

“Everyone at their respective schools is doing a really good job of making a name for themselves,” Kelly said. “And, as I said, we still have a lot of big names in college that want to enter the draft this year and that will continue to be the case. So I think women’s basketball is in great shape.”
