Any info on the Spanish JC guard we picked up?
Click to expand...
freshman at JC last season
14 ppg
5 rbg
2 apg
shot 34% from 3

Our backcourt last Destiny 5'6" Aliyah 5'7" Maddy 5'11"

Added some nice size Divine 5'11" Ona" 5'11"

I suspect its going to be very hard to keep Divine

Imagine 4 big time scoring threats. Berry, Gretchen, Divine and Cearah

SIGNED: Illini WBB lands LSU transfer guard Divine Bourrage

Bourrage was the No. 7 player in the Class of 2025, according to 247Sports.

With Maddy Weber ready to be offensive sparkplug to sub out Dolan and/or Bourrage and a very capable 6.0' Ona Riopedre up next. Destiny will also become a bigger scoring threat in her soph season and also expect backup Guyton to improve and mature and Brown-Haggar provide veteran presence. The center complement of Alves, Brenjo and Vasconscelos will step up more than last year and provide increased team balance, also allowing good shooting Parchment to play outside perimeter more often. 2026-2027 Most balanced Illini team in past 5 years, IMO.

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%.
