Fantasia James is FIU’s rising two-way guard with real freshman-year momentum
Fantasia James entered the 2026-27 season as a redshirt junior at FIU after a strong 2025-26 campaign in which she played 29 games, started 8, averaged 21.8 minutes and 6.0 points, and hit double figures six times. In the 2025-26 season, her value showed up beyond scoring: she was a reliable rebounder for a guard, defended the rim well, and had a knack for timely momentum-swinging plays. She looks like a fit for teams that want an athletic, energetic guard who brings toughness, length, and a little chaos in the best way.
