hometown Hofstra guard whose upside is still starting to bloom
In the 2025-26 season, Hofstra freshman guard Syniya Barton is seeing limited minutes so far, but her profile screams high-upside local talent: a 5-foot-7 combo guard from South Hempstead who arrives with a reputation for athleticism, leadership, and a hard-nosed compete level. Hofstra’s staff called her a dynamic guard who can impact both ends of the floor, and her high-school production—11 points and 10 rebounds per game as a senior—shows a guard who does more than just handle the ball. If your team values toughness, versatility, and room to grow, she’s one to watch.
