Kate Wilkins brings size, interior touch, and upside to MUW's frontcourt
Kate Wilkins is a 6-foot center for Mississippi University for Women who already has college experience, having played in 6 games in the 2024-25 season and returning on the 2026-27 roster. Her path suggests a developmental big with legit physical tools and a post presence, while her prep résumé — 1,000-point scorer, 3x all-district, and an ASWA all-state second-team pick — points to a player who can contribute with confidence and production. She looks like the kind of low-ego, high-upside frontcourt piece a coach can mold into a reliable rim-and-rebound fit.
