Ribeiro plays with moxie and confidence. She has good mechanics and but there is room for improvement. She has good size at 5’8 and athleticism to be a number one option the next 3 years. Shows nice finishing touch around the rim. Has great defensive instincts to get turnovers and awareness in the paint to secure rebounds. I think she will be even better with more reps going into her sophomore year.
Green is a sharpshooter with great mechanics and plays with a relentless motor. She good vision and distributes the ball well. She loves to run in transition and set up her teammates. She plays scrappy defense and will contest shots and always look for rebounding opportunities.
Highlights
Marsh has good range from the perimeter with a high, quick release on her shot. Will really thrive in a motion offense or as catch and shoot option. Loves to play defense and create turnovers. Thrives in up tempo offense where the defense is on their heels.
Kingsbury averaged 25 points per game this season as a freshmen. She is a bucket getter and has the ability to score in a variety of ways. She runs the floor well in transition using her defense to create offense for easy buckets. She is very comfortable shooting from the perimeter and has expanded range.
Barabas has a high basketball IQ and is a confident shooter on the perimeter with good shooting mechanics. Plays hard nosed defense and will not give you any space. Had a successful freshmen campaign and will have more confidence next season.
