Hunter West brings old-school rim protection and rebounding juice to UNC
In the 2018 season, Hunter West’s calling card at North Carolina was defense-first impact: she arrived as a 6-foot forward after a high school career where she piled up 1,691 points, 1,141 rebounds and 391 blocks, including a senior line of 23.0 points, 11.4 rebounds and 5.8 blocks per game[1][7]. That profile screams physicality, paint presence and hustle, plus the kind of smart, high-academic, team-first reputation coaches love. If you need a tough, low-ego frontcourt player who can protect the rim and clean the glass, West is a compelling fit[1].
