TCU star selected as cover model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue
TCU point guard Hailey Van Lith recently finished one of the most successful single seasons in TCU basketball history and will be a top selection in the upcoming WNBA Draft.
Before WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert calls her name, Sports Illustrated selected Van Lith as the cover model for the April 2025 digital edition of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. The photo shoot took place at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.

ESPN’s WNBA mock draft has Van Lith slated as the ninth pick, joining Cameron Brink and Rickea Jackson on the Los Angeles Sparks.
Van Lith racked in the honors in her sole season with the Horned Frogs, winning Big 12 Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year while earning All-American selections from the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) and The Associated Press.
Fans will be able to see where Van Lith will start her professional career when the WNBA Draft starts at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 14.
