Young guard with scoring touch and room to grow
Riley Abney entered Oakland as a 5-foot-9 guard from Ortonville, Michigan, and she already carried a reputation for creating space and scoring from multiple spots after topping 1,000 career points in high school and earning Flint Area Player of the Year honors[5]. In her freshman season at Oakland, she played in 12 games and later posted modest 2024-25 production, but the bigger takeaway is upside: a perimeter guard with shot-creation instincts, competitive edge, and real defensive activity from her prep background[4][6][9]. If a staff wants a developmental backcourt piece with local roots and some two-way bite, she’s worth a look[4][5].
