Abby, like Kaitlyn, would be a good player at the junior college and/or NAIA level. Dickinson has struggled to find victories in recent years but don’t let that dampen Abby’s talent or college potential. She is a good athlete and physically strong player. She looks like she has taken the weight room seriously, something any athlete hoping to play college sports has to do. She can battle with taller girls because of her strength. She is a high-caliber shooter and would really thrive on a team with more talent. Her percentages don’t quite match up with how good of a shooter she is. This is because she is always opposing team’s number one scout and the Mavericks have struggled to find a number two option that can take some pressure off of Abby. She is a multi-year All-WDA selection and should be a lock again in 2027.

Abby is continuing to improve her game. She seems a little bit better each time I see her play. I was impressed with her improvement in her ball-handling. She was able to bring the ball up against pressure this weekend and didn’t seem to be fazed by opposing defenders. She was able to spin past defenders, retreat dribble, and use her speed to break opponent’s press defenses. She is more than capable from lighting it up from deep and I would consider her one of the best outside shooters in the WDA. The two-time All-WDA selection is hoping to make it three in a row next season. I am confident she will get the job done.

Praus is the pride of Dickinson these past couple of seasons. She has been the steady piece in a rebuild effort and is on the edge of reaping the rewards of her hard work. Dickinson has suffered some lopsided losses these past two years, yet Abby still gets face-guarded. This is a testament to how good opposing coaches think she is. When she is able to get free from pressure, she is a deadly shooter with a quick release. I am hopeful that her hard work and perseverance pays off next season with a few more Maverick victories.

Abby has been one of the few steady points for a Mavericks program that has been in a rebuild mode the last few seasons. She once again found herself on the All-WDA team this season. The 5’6 guard has garnered a few local school’s interest and would be a great local pickup for Dickinson State. She plays really hard and has a great attitude on the court. She is widely known for her outside shooting. Her percentage would be even better if she had a little more relief on the offensive side of the floor. She is a steady and capable ball-handler. I think Dickinson is poised for a breakout season next year with Abby leading the way.
