Local freshman wing with upside, toughness, and coachable glue-player energy
Reese de Groot entered Idaho as a 5-foot-11 freshman from Lewiston/Clarkston with a strong local résumé, including Idaho 5A first-team all-conference honors, two years as a varsity captain, and a 2023 GUAA title with the Northwest Blazers.[3][6] She was also redshirting in 2025-26, so the most important thing to know is that Idaho appears to value her long-term development more than immediate box-score output.[9] The fit looks appealing for teams that want a smart, high-character forward with competitive edge, pre-med discipline, and room to grow into a versatile all-around piece.[3][6]
