While their full identity has yet to be shown, social media has done a good job providing guesses. Many believe former <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/tcu-horned-frogs\/\">TCU<\/a><\/strong> star <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/hailey-van-lith-162536\/\">Hailey Van Lith<\/a><\/strong> could be the star of the upcoming cover release.<\/p>\n<p>A video was posted by SI on Monday, getting the conversation started. Multiple factors play in Van Lith being the guess, starting with a Big 12 basketball being held. Hashtags and tags in the caption are Fort Worth based too, where Van Lith most recently played.<\/p>\n<div> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DIKFKT_TRlJ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\"> \n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p><\/a>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DIKFKT_TRlJ\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\">A post shared by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit (@si_swimsuit)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>People in the comment section were spamming Van Lith\u2019s name in the comment section. A few even tagged her in the post, while one specific comment pointed out the forearm tattoo present in the video.<\/p>\n<p>Van Lith\u2019s face is never shown but putting two and two together, the tattoos match up with one another. The case might have been cracked, Sports Illustrated.<\/p>\n<p>Van Lith just wrapped up an incredible season with TCU, helping the Horned Frogs make the Elite Eight. She averaged 17.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists throughout the season. The Big 12 sent the fifth-year star multiple awards as well, most notably the Big 12 Player of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>Next up, from a basketball standpoint, is the WNBA. Van Lith saw her draft stock increase during the year and has a chance of being a top-10 pick in just about a week.<\/p>\n<p>But something special appears to be dropping before then. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has had multiple star women athletes on its cover in recent years. Van Lith might be next up.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mark Campbell calls from TCU to retire number of Hailey Van Lith<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not about how much time you spend with a person, but the impact they make while they\u2019re here.\u00a0Mark Campbell\u00a0recognizes that, after his lone season at\u00a0TCU\u00a0came to an end with\u00a0Hailey Van Lith\u00a0leading the charge on Monday evening in the Elite Eight.<\/p>\n<p>While she only spent a short amount of her collegiate career with TCU, after three seasons with\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/louisville-cardinals\/\">Louisville<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and one with\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/lsu-tigers\/\">LSU<\/a><\/strong>, the question as to whether Van Lith should have her number retired by the Horned Frogs has come up. After their loss to\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/texas-longhorns\/\">Texas<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in the Elite Eight, Campbell answered it the best way he could, explaining why he would put her name and number in the rafters if he was the sole decision maker on the matter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard for me to answer that. I don\u2019t know the criteria in regards to getting your jersey hung at TCU, but I have a hard time believing that anybody in any sport in one year can have a greater impact than what Hailey Van Lith has had at TCU,\u201d Campbell\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?si=2U9rCYKO_tRM1DYs&amp;v=kAtvX-SMlZQ&amp;feature=youtu.be\">stated<\/a>, via his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?si=2U9rCYKO_tRM1DYs&amp;v=kAtvX-SMlZQ&amp;feature=youtu.be\">postgame press conference<\/a>. \u201cObviously, there\u2019s the basketball piece and a single-season scoring record, a single-season assist record, and [she] was the leader of this group that won 34 games and took us to an Elite Eight. So, if it\u2019s up to me, yes. No question. But, again, I\u2019m not the one that makes those decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>On3\u2019s Steve Samra contributed to this report<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/pro\/news\/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-edition-teases-hailey-van-lith-cover-photos\/\">Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition teases Hailey Van Lith cover photos<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/\">On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has teased who will be the star of their upcoming digital cover&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87475\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
