The college basketball scene has been far from quiet, with JuJu Watkins starring as its poster child. After being voted the Big Ten Player of the Year and the unanimous National Player of the Year by The Athletic, Watkins is now heading into March Madness with some solid momentum. Even among other top-flight talents such as Paige Bueckers, Watkins has continuously proven her star status on the court. With March Madness right around the corner, JuJu’s mother, Sari Watkins, gave us the scoop on the buzz surrounding her daughter.
When asked what’s the secret behind JuJu’s iconic hair bun, Sari laughed and said, “The secret behind the bun is, don’t tell the secret behind the bun.” JuJu and her mother clearly have a tight-knit relationship as she still does her hair for her before every game.
On young girls imitating JuJu’s bun style, Sari told the Herald, “Oh my God, that’s the sweetest thing ever; that’s the sweetest thing ever that she can inspire young girls.” This statement speaks volumes about Sari’s pride in seeing her daughter become an inspiration for girls around the world who aspire to become athletes.
