Husker women's hoops signed one player on Wednesday, an elite scorer out of Utah.
The Huskers signed Oliva Hamlin. The 5-9 guard from St. George Utah is the No. 2 player in the state by Prep Girls Hoops and the No. 59 player in the country by Prospects Nation."We could not be more excited to add Olivia to our Husker women's basketball family," Nebraska women's basketball coach Amy Williams said. "Her passion for basketball, competing and just life in general is contagious.
Hamlin averaged 27.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 4.9 steals while leading Snow Canyon High School to a Utah Class 4A state runner-up finish last year. The three-time first-team all-state selection was the 2023-24 Utah Class 4A Player of the Year. "I can't even begin to express how excited I am to be a part of this great community," Hamlin said. "Honestly, I chose Nebraska for a couple reasons but finding the right fit for me was priority No. 1. During the recruiting process, I was super grateful to visit and see different schools, but I really connected with Coach Amy and her staff.
"The campus, the atmosphere, the fans, the athletics, the state, the entire community here is so amazing and has gone above and beyond making me feel at home. The fan support from everyone is like nothing I've ever experienced before. It's literally unbelievable. There is No Place Like Nebraska and I can't wait to be a part of it. I am beyond excited to call myself a Husker.
