I’m sure everyone here remembers that we had Kamilla Cardoso on the SU women’s basketball team as a freshman in the 2020-2021 season before she transferred to South Carolina and later became the 3rd overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft.

I was interested in how Cardoso compares to Uche Izoje as a freshman so I looked up her stats and this is what I found.

Kamilla Cardoso freshman year

[LIST]
[*]5 double doubles
[*]13.6 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 2.7 BPG
[*]ACC freshman of the week 3 times
[*]Never selected as national player of the week
[*]Never named to National Naismith defensive player of the year watch list as a freshman
[*](She was named to the watch list her senior year)
[/LIST]
Uche Izoje freshman year - so far this season

[LIST]
[*]10 double doubles 
[*]14.2 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 2.7 BPG
[*]ACC freshman of the week 6 times
[*]National player of the week once
[*]Named to National Naismith defensive player of the year watch list
[/LIST]
Using these criteria Uche beats Cardoso in every category and ties in 1, so Uche is my pick.

I don’t think enough people really understand just how incredible a talent SU has with Uche Izoje and how important it is to get the message out.

I think the more exposure we can get on the SU women’s basketball team the better. The additional coverage will hopefully help increase attendance as well as help with raising NIL money. It would be great for SU, the program, the fans and the community to keep her and all our players here for all the years of their college careers.
