Alia already has serious traction on the recruiting trail, with interest from D2 and NAIA programs along with a deep list of NWAC and JUCO schools. A quick look at the stat sheet explains part of it—she’s among the leaders in steals and scoring—but her real value shows up between the lines. She applies constant on-ball pressure, changes tempo defensively, and brings an energy that shifts momentum the moment she checks in. When she’s off the floor, the difference is noticeable. Programs that value defensive tone-setters and competitive guards will need to act quickly, and West Coast schools may be best positioned to secure her commitment.
