I am so excited to announce I have verbally committed to the University of Hawai’i. Firstly, I’d like to thank my family for the constant support and always believing in me. A massive thank you to my @7oakssuns family, specifically @lenbusch34 for creating the opportunity for me to play in such a great competitive environment. Also to @goglobal_llc and @shesgotnextuk for helping me through my recruitment process. I am extremely grateful to @coachllb @coachkmitch and the rest of the coaching staff for expressing such confidence in me and giving me this amazing opportunity. Can’t wait. #gobows 💚🌈🤙🏽

“I’m super excited right now,” Andrews told Hoopsfix. “[I’m] so grateful for this opportunity and I can’t wait to get out there, meet new people, experience new cultures and test myself at the D1 level.

“The coaching staff were so welcoming and I feel they truly believe in me. It can’t get much better than playing in paradise!

“This season I want to work on my fitness, playing in the WBBL will definitely help with this.”

Andrews featured in 10 league games for Sevenoaks Suns in the WBBL last season having developed through their programme, whilst participating for GB at junior level.

The 17-year-old was ruled out of the FIBA Under-16 European Championships in 2018 before averaging 6.9 points the following summer as well as competing for GB Under-18s with a best of 11 points on two occasions.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
