Ashanti Barnes is a double-double machine and late-season momentum piece for JMU
Barnes has emerged as one of James Madison’s most reliable frontcourt engines, capping the 2025-26 regular season with back-to-back double-doubles and a national weekly honor after averaging 24.0 points and 15.0 rebounds in the final week. Her calling card is high-end versatility for a 6'2" forward: she scores efficiently, cleans the glass, and contributes as a passer and disruptive defender when she’s locked in. The fit is strong for teams needing a physical, high-motor interior presence who can also create offense and impact winning beyond the box score.
