UK women’s basketball commit, several recruiting targets invited to USA Basketball minicamp

Maddyn Greenway, Kentucky’s star point guard commitment in the class of 2026, has been selected to participate in the 2025 USA Basketball Women’s Junior National Team minicamp.

The event — the third annual — is set to take place in Tampa, Florida, from April 3-6, concurrently with this year’s NCAA Women’s Final Four and national championship weekend.

Greenway is one of 45 players chosen for the minicamp, which will include on-court drills and scrimmages, and offer athletes the opportunity to “participate in a series of educational presentations and attend the semifinal games on Friday night,” according to USA Basketball.
