Classic in the Country-Jan. 11: On a deep and senior-laden roster it's sometimes difficult to stand out as an underclassman. But this 5-foot-11 wing is starting to come into her own. The left hander has a long, lean build that combines with some solid speed and agility. Though she's upright at times, she can put the ball on the floor and create her own looks. She slashes effectively through paint and could stand to do it a little more often rather than settling for the pull up. Her range on the perimeter should force defenders to close out on the catch and her passing skills help her find her talented teammates. Her length and foot speed potentially make her a very strong defender and a real asset in trapping and pressure situations. If she'll take a page from teammate Shicole Watt's book on physical and aggressive play, she'll take her game to the next level. (Lewis)
