With the departure of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese from the women’s basketball game, there is a huge vacuum of who might be the next star, and it appears social media is seemingly riding with Maddie Scherr.

Scherr, a women’s college basketball guard at TCU, has the chance to be one of the sport’s faces now that she will be alongside Hailey Van Lith, who transferred there this offseason.

Maddie Scherr is going incredibly viral this week after she took to her Instagram and posted a picture of herself busting out of her bikini.

 

Coming out of high school, Scherr was the 2020 Miss Kentucky Basketball and was highly regarded as one of the best prospects in the nation.

Maddie Scherr committed to Oregon, where she would spend two seasons before transferring to Kentucky to play for Kyra Elzy and her home state Wildcats.

After two seasons there, Scherr transferred again and will now star at TCU.

The former Kentucky star played and started in 55 games. In her junior year, Scherr averaged 11.6 points per game, 5.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game, all of which were team highs.

During the 2023-2024 season, Scherr averaged a career-high 12.5 points per game and a team-best 3.4 assists and 1.6 steals per game, per her stats on ESPN.

Unfortunately for her, she would be forced to miss Kentucky’s two games in the 2024 SEC Tournament due to a concussion.

Maddie Scherr Has The Talent To Be Drafted Into The WNBA

Caitlin Clark was the most hyped rookie to arrive in the league for some time, and she delivered in every way possible.

Next season, UConn’s Paige Bueckers might be talked about in the same way, but Maddie Scherr shouldn’t be ignored.

Scherr decided to enter the transfer portal this offseason and now will play her final season for TCU.

In 55 games with the Wildcats, she averaged 12.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists.

She is more than a scorer; she is a strong defender who can be an effective two-way wing for any team in the league.

Everyone Is Praying For Baker Mayfield And His Wife After The Couple Was Forced From Their Home In Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily have had to evacuate their home this week because of Hurricane Helene.

The hurricane hit northern Florida pretty hard, causing major flooding and power loss.

Mayfield, his wife Emily, their daughter, and their dog left their residence before the storm hit as a means of caution. Emily furnished her followers with an update on Friday.

“Baker, Koko, Fergus and I evacuated yesterday and are safe,” she said via Instagram. “Our sweet, sweet community got pummeled, but even that doesn’t compare to the people up North who took this storm head on. It’s unfathomable.”

Emily is grateful that Helene did not affect the Mayfield home but revealed she was “praying nonstop” for the people dealing with the impact while also offering tangible assistance.

“I am looking for ways to get out and tangibly help,” she added. “Please send me anything you find, and I will share the good ones.”
