That includes Daniels who has ran on the grassroots circuit with SC Future and picked up an offer from Allen University over the summer. She averaged 11.3 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.4 steals last season for 4A Westwood. Daniels is unafraid to absorb contact and take her chances at the free throw line. Even when she sees a group of opposing defenders, Daniels understands how to find lanes to get to the rim and also excels as someone who can get out in transition.u003c/pu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63488350ea0e8","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["124107"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cp style=u0022font-weight: 400;u0022u003eFollowing another noteworthy travel season with FBC Carolina Hawks Elite 17U Parks, she is ready to translate that into her swan song season with the 5A Wildcats.

She comes to the Stallions from Indian Land. McCloud displays her versatility with how she can play minutes primarily at the three but also as a two. She helps a team's rebounding abilities, knows how to find the open teammate, will reject plenty of shots as a defender and can come away with steals to create extra possessions for her team.
