Superstar Spotlight: Sienna Betts, basketball star who will join sister Lauren at UCLA
At 6-foot-4, Sienna Betts has the size of a women's college basketball star. She gets it from her dad. Betts is the No. 2 ranked player on the USA TODAY 25 in '25 Girls Basketball Recruiting rankings, and is committed to UCLA for next season. She grew up in Spain with her 7-foot-1 father, Andrew Betts, who played professionally there after starring at Long Beach State. COLORADO HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL'S ALL-TIME REBOUNDER ‼️Sienna Betts brought down her eighth rebound of the game to get number 1,337 of her careerWatch the moment here:@aurorasports @CCSDATHACT1 @COHoops5280 @PGHColorado @coloradopreps @Grandview_HS @Grandview_TV @CHSAA — Grandview Athletics (@ghswolvessports) February 6, 2025 Sienna Betts will join her sister, Lauren, at UCLA. Lauren was a McDonald's All-American who played a year at Stanford before transferring. UCLA is currently ranked No. 2 in the country behind Texas. Sienna was also named a McDonald's All-American a few weeks ago and is expected to add more size and flexibility to the Bruins lineup next season. That's because while she is an amazing rebounder -- in fact, she is the Colorado high school career record holder -- her shooting range also extends to the 3-point line and she can knock down a shot when left open. UCLA will continue to be a team to watch while either or both of the Betts girls are on the roster.
