Growing up, Minnesota had always been her dream school.She selected the Gophers over other Big Ten schools like Michigan, Penn State, and Wisconsin, as well as the Big 12's Kansas. Colorado State and the University of St. Thomas were also among the 10 early offers she received. Ramlall emphasized, "When the Gophers offered me, they had everything I wanted... a great coaching staff, school, and academics." She plans to earn a degree in the medical field, possibly related to sports.Ramlall is a big fan of Gophers coach Dawn Plitzuweit, who is in her second season at the helm. She said, "She deeply cares about her players, not just on the court but off it too. She is down to earth and really passionate about the game."

Why Minnesota Stood Out

Ramlall sees herself fitting in well with the team and contributing to its success. She is excited to be a part of the Gopher family and start her college basketball journey.
