Sienna Betts is one of the nation's top basketball prospects. Per the On3 Industry Ranking, she is the No. 3 overall prospect in the 2025 class and the No. 1 power forward. The Aurora (CO) power forward featured in the recent McDonald's All-American game, representing Team West.
She helped the team to a 104-82 victory over Team East as she scored 16 points, picked up seven rebounds and provided two assists. Her impressive performance not only earned her team the victory that night but also the MVP award for the game.
The MVP award puts her in a league of elite players like Joyce Edwards, JuJu Watkins and Hannah Hidalgo who’ve all previously won the award. On the weekend preceding the McDonald's All-American game, Sienna Betts was named the Morgan Wootten National Girls High School Basketball Player of the Year.
The award recognized her incredible record as a senior, averaging 23.0 points, 16.5 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 3.4 blocks per game.
What's next for Sienna Betts?
For the next stage in her career, Betts is set to follow her sister's footsteps at UCLA where she's been committed since Nov. 2023. The Bruins won her over despite attempts from Duke, North Carolina, Notre Dame, South Carolina, UConn, USC and so on. She explained her choice in an interview with The Flagler College Gargoyle in April 2024. She said,
“For me, it was a lot about how the coaches care about you off the court, and the coaches at UCLA, they really care about your mental health. Every team I've ever been on, we've been a family… So, they really cared about that part of basketball for me, and they showed me that on my visits and when I called to talk to them.”
Sienna Betts closed her high school career on a high, winning her second state title with Grand View High School. She scored 21 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, five assists, three steals, and one block in the title game. She also earned her third Colorado Gatorade Girls Basketball Player of the Year.
