Expert Analysis
Brandon Tinnon | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Nike has a saying, “ Just do it.” Coaches have a saying, “ Just play.” CK just plays and competes. For starters, she just goes and hustles on both ends of the floor. She communicates, calling out screens, plays, actions, and all the above. Offensively, she can knock down 3s, the mid-range change, and fill it up from the low blocks. She has a knack for being in the right place at the right time, as she is known to keep plays alive and score trash buckets. Defensively, she is going to battle, making it tough for opponents to operate. She can fit into any system and is going to be a true asset at the next level.

She is just a workhorse that does the little things right. She doesn’t get a lot of glory, but she is a hustler who is scrappy and does what is asked of her. She can stretch the floor, but where she makes her living is in the painted area. She can score through contact, set solid picks, be a part of the screen game, and rebound the heck out of the ball. A trait that is often overlooked is her ability to defend. She makes it tough for people to get high percentage shots, and it was on display today. A solid kid who is going to have a phenomenal season coming up.

Solid big who works and works and works. Used down low and in the screen game, she knows how to seal or reseal to give herself an advantage to receive a pass to go finish. Has a nice mid-range game to go along with her ability to score. She is a great communicator where she voices to her teammates about what’s happening or what’s about to come. She can block shots and she is big-time on the boards. I love how she sprints down the floor to establish her dominance near the basket. She just plays and she does so with high energy at a high level. Solid kid who has been a tremendous asset to the Lady Irish program.

Solid big who is a grinder. CK has a nice face up game, but also is smooth with her back to the basketball. Used in the screen game, her ability to finish in the paint is nice. She occasionally will step outside the arc, but within the interior is where she is key. She is a leader in her own right and is willing to do the little things to get the job done. She’s a solid rebounder, will block shots, and just fights each and every possession. A great kid whose game has grown each and every year.

After watching Kieffaber play in a Christmas Tournament game last season, I called her Father Ryan’s “unsung hero.” I really like her skill set as a multidimensional big that fill a variety of roles. She feels like the type of kid that could put up much bigger stat lines if that was her aim, but instead, she just looks to win. She doesn’t mind doing the dirty work, and rarely misses a defensive assignment.

is a great example of simply putting in the work. She’s always had the physical tools, but was simply raw. This season for Father Ryan you watched her put together a back to the basketball game with both finesse and power. Started to become a nightly double double threat by the end of the season.

I think Kieffaber is the unsung hero of this Father Ryan squad. She the dirty work, role player that every team needs. She’s a two-way player that always plays hard, plays smart, makes the right pass, doesn’t care who score….and will still average eight point and eight rebounds without aiming to do anything other than win. Really competitive kid who also had a great tourney run for Father Ryan.

is expected to step in and contribute for the Lady Irish this season. The team graduated 3 of their top post players and Caroline has been working hard all summer to help fill that void. Defensively she’s long and athletic and on offense she’s worked hard on being a threat both inside and outside. The coaching staff is looking for her to take a big step forward in year two.
