The 17-year-old is having a career season, averaging 24 points, 11.1 rebounds, two steals, 1.8 assists and 1.7 blocks per game for the 10-2 CoE this season. With multiple Division I college offers coming her way, the sky is the limit on what this rising star can do.

On the latest episode of The NBL1 Show, the two-time WNBL champion and NBL1 National Champion Bec Cole explained just how exciting Fagan is as a prospect. 

“(She is) the future of the women’s basketball game here in Australia,” Cole said. 

“She’s been absolutely dominating for the CoE. She’s a kid, but playing against women and she’s (still) producing good. She’s had three games with thirty-plus points and ten-plus rebounds, another three games with 25-plus points and not only that, she’s a menace on the defensive end.

“What I love is that she takes what the defence gives her, she has a three-ball, she can attack the rim and then she has post-moves, as well as fadeaways and different finishes. What can’t you do?”
