About Aliyah
Expert Analysis
Tink Butler | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Aliyah is really good at navigating through gaps in defenses. She has a nice mid-range pullup that allows her to avoid engaging the big post players waiting for her. She has some shifty moves to get around players closing out so that she can finish by the rim.

Aliyah has came in and made an immediate impact with the Crusaders. She runs the offense to precision and brings a lot of energy to both ends of the floor. She covers a lot of ground with her footspeed which makes her very disruptive on the defensive end.

Aliyah transferred into Maryland from Virginia and has been turning heads all through the fall and preseason. She even had an opposing coach questioning where she had come from. She is fast, really fast which makes her a terror on the defensive end and a huge problem to deal with while on offense. She is pretty shifty in tight spaces which allows for her to get finishing angles in the lane against post players. With an injury keeping Zanai Barrett out for a month Aliyah has been required to do a lot to compensate and she has been up for the task. It will be interesting to see how things shape up when Barrett returns next month and all the focus isn’t geared to stop her.

Aliyah was very efficient at the point. She controlled the pace and tempo and knew when and how to pick her spots in the game to score. She finished with 14 points and the respect from the opposing coach who wanted to know who she was after the game. She was more than capable of filling the void with Zania Barnett out. It will be interesting to see them play off of each other when she returns late December.
