Lorena Barbosa is Idaho’s 6-foot-5 rim presence with breakout upside
Barbosa brings rare size, shot-blocking, and a steady interior scoring touch to Idaho, and in the 2025-26 season she has already emerged as one of the Vandals’ most impactful bigs, leading the team in blocks at 1.2 per game and giving them a true paint anchor. Her game pops beyond the box score: she’s physical, mobile for her frame, and has shown she can swing momentum with timely defense and efficient finishing, including a career-high 18-point outburst in 2025. If a team needs length, toughness, and a high-upside post who can change games at both ends, she’s absolutely worth caring about.
