Kentucky women’s basketball star Georgia Amoore transferred over from Virginia Tech, following coach Kenny Brooks. She was expected to be one of the leaders for the Wildcats, and was one of the biggest transfer wins this offeseason.
Recently, Amoore has received praise as the season gets ready to begin. She was voted a first-team All-SEC guard by both the media and by the coaches. Now, she’s been named a top 100 player by ESPN.

A group of analysts put together a list of the top 100 women’s college basketball players for the 2024-25 season, and Amoore came in at number 11. Here’s what they had to say about her:
Amoore had a decorated four-year run at Virginia Tech, where she was the ACC tournament MVP and led the school to its first Final Four in 2023, then earned third-team All-America honors in 2024. Amoore announced she was returning for a fifth year — and then joined former Hokies coach Kenny Brooks at Kentucky, which has been an afterthought in the SEC since Rhyne Howard graduated. How the point guard adjusts to new teammates (and to not having Elizabeth Kitley) and a new league is one of the bigger storylines to monitor this season. — Philippou
Amoore is the fifth player from the SEC on the list. She’s the only Kentucky player in the top 100.
