Ju Ju Watkins was thought to have freshmen of the year locked up. But her shooting percentage has been under a great deal of pressure with opponents gameplanning and double covering her. Of course, the Trojans don't have a great deal of offense and Watkins is still shooting at a respectable 43.2 FG%, 34.4 3P%, and scoring 26.3 points per game.
With all that said, in my estimation, Hannah Hidalgo should earn serious consideration for being the best freshman this season. Not only does she play arguably a more important position than Watkins but she is also a better shooter. While Watkins is bigger and able to guard several positions. Hidalgo's penchant for steals actually makes the 5'6" guard incredibly valuable as a defender.
One can't go too far wrong picking either one of these two players as the best in their class. For my money though, I think that Hidalgo is now shading the race for top freshman in the 2023-24 season.
