“She’s just consistently steady. That is not typical of a freshman. You just look up and she has 15 points. If she wants to be a professional, she can.”
Utah expects to be in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in over a decade, led by a true freshman
For Roberts, the head coach of a team led by a true freshman, she knows better than to make definitive statements. Freshman-led teams are fickle that way. Even the surest of bets can sometimes turn. “She’s just consistently steady. That is not typical of a freshman,” Roberts said. “You just look up and she has 15 points. If she wants to be a professional, she can.”
Kneepkens is the Pac-12 freshman of the year. Last week, she led No. 6 seeded Utah past Cal, Washington State and Oregon on consecutive nights to make the Pac-12 championship game. She averaged 17 points per game in that span as Utah sealed a bid to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in over a decade. Utah lost to Stanford in the championship game, but it already sealed its fate.
Kneepkens was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Minnesota for 2021. The previous winner of that award was Paige Bueckers, UConn’s star point guard who won every national player of the year accolade during her freshman year of college.
