JuJu Watkins Poised for Big Ten Stardom

News summary

USC's sophomore guard JuJu Watkins is poised to take the spotlight in women's college basketball as she steps into the Big Ten, following the departure of Caitlin Clark. Watkins, who was named Preseason Player of the Year, had a remarkable freshman season, averaging 27.1 points per game and leading USC to the Elite Eight. At Big Ten media day, she expressed her focus on team success rather than personal pressure, emphasizing gratitude for the opportunity ahead. With USC favored to win the conference, expectations are high for Watkins, who has already made waves in the sport with her on-court performances and celebrity appearances. Coaches and analysts believe Watkins can fill the void left by Clark and elevate the visibility of women's basketball. Her unique platform as a young African-American superstar is seen as potentially transformative for communities in Los Angeles and beyond.
