Healthy, high-motor Penn anchor Tina Njike is giving the Quakers real frontcourt juice
In the 2024-25 season, Tina Njike was a low-usage but highly efficient post presence for Penn, shooting 55.8% from the field and averaging 2.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 6.7 minutes per game[1][7][8]. The big differentiator is her back-to-full-strength trajectory after two ACL tears, which has made her more physical, confident, and disruptive on both ends; Penn coverage called her “finally healthy” and noted she can protect the rim, rebound, and chip in surprisingly well as a passer for a center[6]. She looks like a strong fit for a team needing toughness, activity, and upside in the middle[6][10].
