Outlook (2026-27)
Amiah Hargrove (pronounced uh-MY-uh) returns for her junior season after a strong sophomore campaign for the Huskers. The 6-2 forward from Christopher, Ill., was Nebraska's No. 2 scorer (12.7 ppg) and top rebounder (5.5 rpg) despite splitting starting time with the departed Jessica Petrie at power forward a year ago.
Hargrove is expected to be part of a potent rotation of power forwards that could included 2024 Big Ten Freshman of the Year Natalie Potts and 2026 McDonald's High School All-American Ashlyn Koupal.
The versatility of all three players could allow them to move to either the small forward or center positions depending on Nebraska's rotations, giving the Big Red three dangerous big-bodied scorers, rebounders and shooters.
Last season, Hargrove hit more than 50 percent of her field goals and better than 40 percent of her threes while draining more than 80 percent of her free throws.
Nebraska Coach Amy Williams said Hargrove has a ton of upside in her basketball future.
"Amiah is a high achiever in everything she pursues," Williams said. "Her size and athleticism combined with her versatile skill set make her the perfect fit for our team on the court. Her high character, work ethic and drive make her the perfect fit off the court. She has a bright, bright future."
