Shaffa is stepping into a major role this season as she takes over point guard duties with Aneisha Scott moving on to the University of Richmond. Those are big shoes to fill, but Shaffa looks ready for the challenge. The class of 2028 guard (pictured above) is super quick with a strong frame and a focused mindset. She’s clearly put in the work, and it showed during the Breakdown where she looked composed as she’s wrapping her mind around running the offense. Shaffa has a natural feel for when to push the pace and when to settle things down, showing maturity beyond her years. Expect her to grow fast and make an immediate impact.

On a star-studded squad like Team 1, Shaffa more than held her own on Sunday. She’s not afraid to take a few risks with the basketball, attacking through traffic and finding the seams. More often than not, those calculated gambles seem to work out. That’s because Shaffa handles the ball very well and with confidence, maintaining control even while playing at a high tempo. Anaya can get out and gallop or she can run plays from the point. She’s clever with an innate sense of when to go fast and when to slow down, when to attack and when to dish. Shaffa had a solid summer on a very good Stars OU squad, consistently putting up points and setting the table for others to do the same.
