From the US Hoops Archive
Before their college careers, Olivia Miles, Tabitha Amanze and Julia Cunningham were part of the US Hoops development environment — putting in the work, competing and continuing to build their games. Their paths would eventually lead them to some of the highest levels of college basketball.
Different journeys. The same commitment to development.
