Clark Wins Over Team USA Director - LITE

Hey, Hoophead!

Pro hoops are back! Well, at least on the practice courts. The known faces and the fresh ones have all landed in Durham for USA Basketball camp, and let’s just say, there's a full-blown youth movement taking over this weekend. Naturally, the headlines followed them. And speaking of chatter, Sophie Cunningham’s snub might’ve sparked the loudest one yet.

Let’s break it all down!

Since the players arrived at Duke, the debates haven’t stopped, especially around which young star is truly guaranteed a spot on Team USA.

Thursday’s Poll Result: A clear 64% of you think the 2024 class was indeed stronger than 2024.

No ranked games today, but that doesn’t mean the action slows down. In fact, among all the fun matchups on deck, keep an eye on Southern women’s basketball; they’re starting to look like a team on a little upset run of their own. Check out the full schedule here.

The proud moments keep pouring in for the WNBA!

To absolutely no one’s surprise, A’ja Wilson and Napheesa Collier have been named to Boardroom’s “The 50 Names in The Boardroom,” a list spotlighting influential athletes, designers, musicians, entrepreneurs, executives, actors, and more who either dominated 2025 or are primed for a massive 2026.

But they weren’t the only WNBA faces to make the cut. There was a young star on the list, too. A name all too familiar!
