A standout comment came from former South Carolina teammate Raven Johnson, who hyped up Cardoso with a cheeky remark.
“Sheesh what’s ur number,” Johnson commented.
Cardoso, born in Montes Claros, Brazil, moved to the United States at 15 to pursue her basketball dreams. She has since made waves in the sport, including a standout performance in the 2024 national championship game where she logged 15 points and 17 rebounds against Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Now, with personalities like Cardoso, Reese and newly drafted Hailey Van Lith, the Sky are building a new identity that combines talent, marketability and charisma.
