Hines spent three years with the Eldorado Golden Eagles, where she averaged 28.6 points and 6.5 rebounds, becoming the team's all-time leading scorer. She then took her talents to ABC Prep for her senior year.

With high school basketball now over, Hines is set to join the LSU Tigers in the SEC next season. She will be joined by five-star prospects Grace Knox, Zakiyah Johnson, and Divine Bourrage, who have also committed to LSU.

Bella Hines on being away from family at LSU

Family is something that Bella Hines holds dear, like every other athlete. Her parents, Josh and Michelle Hines, as well as her siblings, Baleigh, Jakobi, and Juju, are very important in her life.

Following her Jordan Brand NIL Deal in 2024, Hines, in an interview with FN, opened up on how she feels about being away from her family at LSU:

"Being so far away from Albuquerque, it was hard to realize," Hines said. "I'm going to have to leave my family at some point. But being out there and building a bond with Coach [Kim] Mulkey and the assistant coaches made me feel comfortable. Even my family was like we can picture you coming here and come watch you."

Speaking on her NIL deal with the Jordan brand, Hines expressed her delight for the opportunity to be able to work with a family-based brand.

"Being able to have a relationship outside of just an athlete and somebody who works for the brand, it means a lot to me," Hines said. "I'm really glad that I was able to find a more of a family-based brand to work with."

Hines's deal with the Jordan Brand made her the first high school basketball player to sign a multi-year NIL deal with the brand.
