Binta Fall (MICDS): The 5’11 forward is a matchup problem with her combination of strength and skill level. She could play the power game very well with strong post moves and a nice scoring touch inside. Her footwork is tremendous. She can also take defenders off the dribble on the straight line drive or with good ball fakes. She also has 3-point shooting range. She will be a four-year varsity starter.
