Rutgers signs Argentine forward Natassja Kolff Martini to women's basketball roster

Rutgers head coach Gary Redus II announced the signing of forward Natassja Kolff Martini on September 12, adding her to the 2026-27 roster. The 6-foot-2 player transitions to collegiate basketball after spending four seasons in Argentina’s top professional league, most recently with Obras Sanitarias. During her final professional season, she averaged 7.8 points and 7.4 rebounds over 23 games. The program navigated an complex eligibility process to secure the signing, which comes amid heightened NCAA scrutiny regarding international players with professional experience. Kolff Martini, who also earned a bronze medal at the 2023 Pan American Games with the Argentine national team, is expected to have three years of collegiate eligibility remaining. She joins the Scarlet Knights as the program's fifteenth roster addition.
