Two former University of Kentucky standouts are making headlines as they secure spots on WNBA rosters for the upcoming 2025 season. Former Wildcats Rhyne Howard and Treasure Hunt have officially earned positions with their respective teams, continuing the program’s growing legacy in professional women’s basketball.
Howard, a former No. 1 overall draft pick, returns to the Atlanta Dream as one of the league’s brightest young stars. After a breakout rookie season and a strong sophomore campaign, she is poised to lead the Dream in both scoring and leadership.
Meanwhile, Hunt, who transferred to Arizona after her stint at Kentucky but remains closely tied to the Wildcats’ basketball tradition, has earned a coveted roster spot with the Phoenix Mercury after a strong showing in training camp and preseason play.
This marks another proud moment for Kentucky’s women’s basketball program, which continues to produce top-tier talent ready to compete at the highest level.
Fans of Big Blue Nation will be watching closely as these two athletes showcase their skills and represent the Wildcats on the professional stage.
