There are still a few months until the start of the 2024-2025 college basketball season, but it's never too early to start looking ahead.
The UNC women's basketball program has announced its roster for next season. Along with this announcement, each player's jersey number was revealed, as shown in the social media post below.
First of all, returnees will keep their original jersey numbers. Those players (along with their respective jersey numbers) are:
Alyssa Ustby – No. 1
Lyra Hull – No. 4
Maria Gakden – No. 5
Lenya Kelly – No. 10
Kayla McPherson – No. 11
Sydney Barker – No. 15
Lexi Donarski โ No. 20
Sierra Twomey – No. 21
India Nivar โ No. 24

For all new students, let's start as freshmen. That's because three freshmen are looking to make their mark on the program this season.
Laney Grant – No. 0
Jordan Zubich โ 3rd place
Blanca Thomas – No. 34
Finally, we have some additions on the transfer, as Courtney Bangert and her staff have done a great job of bringing some very talented players to Chapel Hill through the transfer portal.
Grace Townsend โ No. 2
Trayanna Crisp – No. 14
Although the roster will look a little different for the 2023-2024 season, expectations are still very high for this extremely versatile and talented group that the UNC women's basketball program has assembled.
