Bella Hines. A young lady who will probably be playing at UConn, Florida or LSU despite Mike Bradbury already offering her a schollie as a HS freshman.
This has already been discussed on the lady Lobo forum. I’m just sharing the info because it was such an impressive performance for a local basketball player.
She was just offered by BYU. Would love to see her at UNM, but not looking good for that to happen.
She should be a Lobo.
Grandson's 17U team took second in their division at the same tournament. They were smaller and younger than everyone else. Their tallest player was their only post player, and he is only 6-3.
3 years of H.S. remaining? 22 ppg as a freshman? Holy cow! She's going own ladies H.S. hoops in New Mexico before she's done.
Great stuff.
It's good to see that the great state of New Mexico is starting to produce more and more legit D-1 talent in multiple sports.

If you don't roll the dice and get in the game you can never win. All Bradbury do is give her an offer and keep on her. At least he has already made an offer. I would love to see her in the PIT as a Lobo.
Wow! Would love to see her play for the Lobos. Would be a game changer.
Had she been offered a scholarship to play for UNM??

Yes.
The coaching staff has been on her for a while. She would be a great addition to any team, but has the potential to be the biggest local star in a long, long time. UCONN doesn't get significantly interested in FR unless they see something well out of the ordinary. She is about 5'10", and while she is not likely a college PG, with her shooting talent that is immaterial. And the current WBB approach here is to have multiple shooters and scorers on the floor at all times, so she would probably not see a lot of gimmick defenses. But that will be true at the UCONNs and Floridas of the world too.
Lots can happen in three years, but players who blow up this early, and have the size she has, don't stay home very often. But we can hope.

Thank goodness local top 75 HS player Lindsey Arndt did. Helped carry us to a Sweet 16... 😍
@txlobo95 - To date that was definitely the golden age of Lady Lobos basketball.

WBB universe is not the same as it was 20+ years ago. And even then there were unusual off-court situations involved with Lindsey. Very glad she stayed local, and hope it can happen again.
