At 5’9 with long limbs and constant energy, Erickson immediately commands attention. She thrives on attacking the rim and isn’t afraid to take big shots. A versatile offensive player, she creates her own shot and elevates cleanly over defenders. Erickson put up strong numbers last season for New Life Academy in Woodbury, including 64 steals and some impressive rebounding totals. She’s a competitor who fights to win back the ball after mistakes and plays with emotion. Her instincts sometimes lead to high-risk plays, but with more experience against top talent, Ciri has the potential to play at the scholarship level.

Erickson made a standout first impression with energy and production. She averaged 14 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists last winter at New Life in Woodbury while recording 64 steals. At the Expo she grabbed an early steal, sprinted the floor, and hit a sweet turnaround jumper that made me sit up in my seat and pay closer attention. Long and athletic with nice elevation, Ciri attacked consistently and fought to win the ball back after she made an error. Ciri is a risk-reward player for sure. Once her game matures, and she gains more experience against high-level players, there’s no telling how good she can be.
