Hunter, a 6'0" guard, gives UCLA some much-needed experience and size in the backcourt following the departure of several key players to the WNBA.
Why it matters
With six players from UCLA's 2026 national championship team being drafted into the WNBA, the Bruins have a lot of holes to fill in their roster.

Hunter began her college career at Oregon State in 2023-24 before transferring to TCU, where she has spent the past two seasons. She averaged a career-high 10.2 points per game this past year, helping the Horned Frogs reach the Elite Eight. Over her three-year college career, Hunter has started 93 of 111 games, averaging 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per contest.
