The Notre Dame forward is a versatile offensive player who can hurt defenses around the basket or spread the floor and knock down perimeter jumpers. I think she has come along well in her two seasons at Notre Dame and doesn’t look out of place in the grassroots season against scholarship-level talent. She has the size and skill to compete against high-level players and can play multiple frontcourt roles.

The Manitowoc Lincoln transfer had to earn her stripes at Notre Dame. Breese wasn’t a significant part of the rotation early in the season, but injuries changed the Tritons’ season, and when Breese got her chance, she took it. The 6’0 forward earned a pair of double-doubles at the end of the season against Arrowhead, who went to state in D1, and Providence Academy (MN), who won their fourth straight AA State Title in Minnesota. There is something there with Breese, and we may not have seen it fully at this point, but her physicality, ability to attack off the dribble, and floor-spacing capacities are worth taking a look at this summer with her Purple Aces team.

Whenever I watch Notre Dame games, I’m always eager to see what Breese can do off the bench. I always feel like there’s more for her to give. However, she doesn’t have the role to show it. The 6’0 transfer from Manitowoc Lincoln can play inside and out, play on the interior with a healthy Waldrop, and make some of the plays we’re used to seeing from Triton frontcourt players. The tools are all there, and I feel like she’s played well in the minutes I’ve seen her play, but it’s still a bit of a wait-and-see situation with her. Watching her this summer with Purple Aces should be intriguing with the talent they have.
