The route Raiane Dias Dos Santos took into university basketball
Guard (5'9")
Athlavia had no involvement with Raiane Dias Dos Santos. She has not used this product, is not connected to it and has not endorsed it. Everything on this page about her is drawn from the published sources listed at the foot, and cited so you can read the originals. The sentences about what an association’s rules permit are ours; they are statements about a rulebook, they are marked as such where they appear, and they are not about her.
No photograph. Roster images belong to the universities and photographers who made them.
One page, on one site. Everything on this page rests on it.
One of 110 routes documented, covering 108 women. See all of them.
The route
Three stops: Two-year college, then NCAA Division I — from a two-year college to a four-year one, then NCAA Division I — same level. 7 of the 108 women documented here followed the same sequence of levels.
Left to right is the order the sources place her stops in. It is not a time axis: 54 of the 181 stops recorded across this site carry a bare pair of dates and the rest are prose, so the years are printed as written, in the list below.
The rows are the NCAA’s own three divisions, plus two dashed rows for everything outside them. NAIA and U SPORTS are separate associations rather than a lower NCAA tier, and nothing in these records ranks them against it; the two-year colleges sit at the foot because a junior college is an institution players transfer on from, which the records do say. The shaded bar behind each row is how many of the 110 routes documented here include a stop at that level.
The stops, as the sources record them
Printed as written. The drawing above compresses these; this list does not, because every caveat in the research lives inside these sentences.

What these levels are, and what money can exist at them
These are facts about rulebooks. They apply to everyone at that level, and none of them is a statement about her.
Two-year college
Gulf Coast State College (Panama City, Florida)
This NJCAA division permits athletic scholarships.
NCAA Division I
This association permits athletic scholarships. Whether any particular player received one, and how much of one, is not published.
Where she was before she left
São Paulo, Brazil. Played for Brazil at the 2021 FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup in Hungary, scoring 19 points in a round-of-16 game against the Czech Republic, before entering the US college system.
What happened, in the sources’ account
Dias Dos Santos started at a Florida junior college, where she scored in double figures in 21 of her games as a freshman, then moved up to Florida State in the ACC. Her role there was small — one start and just under twelve minutes a game — and she transferred again, to Virginia, with at least two years of eligibility left.
What is known about money
Athletic scholarships are permitted at every level on this route. That is a fact about the rulebook, not about her.
No source we fetched states what she received, if anything.
6 of the 110 routes documented here have a source stating any financial term at all. The other 104 do not, and that is normal rather than a gap in the research: a university announces a signing as a roster addition, and what a player was offered stays between her and the programme. Read silence as silence.
No source states anything about money.
Copied without editing. Like the checking notes further down, some of these sentences are instructions to the person writing this page rather than statements about her.
The article we read makes no reference to a scholarship, an amount, or any financial arrangement.
What happened since
Was an active college player as of April 2025. Brazil youth international — 2021 FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup.
No retrieval date is stored against these sources, so treat anything time-sensitive — a current club, a current roster — as needing a fresh check.
Athlavia’s note on this route
Everything above is drawn from the sources. This is our editorial judgement about why the route is worth showing, and it is the only opinion on this page.
This is the honest version of the story. Moving up to a major conference does not mean starting or starring: she averaged 2.6 points at Florida State after 11.8 at junior college. Playing time is not guaranteed by the move, and transferring again is a normal, legitimate response rather than a failure.
This set has not been through the balancing pass, so it may over-represent Division I.
What we could not confirm
These are the checking pass’s own notes, copied without editing. They address the person writing this page, which is why some are phrased as instructions. They are published because a list of what we removed is worth more than an assurance that we checked.
What is still unknown
- SINGLE SOURCE. Everything here rests on one Sports Illustrated article, which did load and does support every claim above. Corroborate against the Virginia and Florida State roster pages before publishing.
- The article renders her junior-college line as 11.8 points in 12.5 minutes per game, which is an implausible combination and may be a transcription error in the source. Publish the points/assists/rebounds if you must, but do NOT publish a minutes figure for her junior-college season.
- No calendar year is given for her Gulf Coast State season, and the source does not name a conference for that college. Do not invent either.
- The source is from April 2025 and this is being compiled in 2026. Her Virginia spell has since happened and is entirely unverified by us — write about her career only up to the point the article covers, or re-verify.
- 1 of her 3 stops carries no conference we could establish.
- One of her stops carries no calendar year at all in the years the sources give.
One further note in our file is not published here. A note is withheld when it states a date of birth or an age, names a relative, or is an internal editorial instruction about which records to keep.
Researcher’s own rating: 70 out of 100. This is the checking agent’s self-assessment, not a measurement. Across the 110 records it runs from 62 to 93, so the source count above it tells you more.
