Quick Guard With NYC Roots and Upside
A'riel Little enters the 2025-26 season as a 5-foot-4 sophomore guard for St. John’s, coming off a 2024-25 freshman year in which she averaged 1.5 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 25 games. Her calling card is guard depth: a small, quick, hometown playmaker from Brooklyn who has already earned minutes in the rotation and showed a lift in distribution during the Cayman Islands Classic. She was a top-100 ESPNW recruit and brings energy, local familiarity, and long-term upside more than big-box score production.
