You can tell she is a ballplayer at first glance. Every time I saw this young lady play, she always had a double-double along with a few blocks and steals. She possesses an all-around game that will be heading to Columbus, Ohio, next fall. Though she was known for her offensive prowess, she too would lock up on the defensive end, anticipating, getting steals and blocks by the boat load. Her size gave her the advantage as she knew how to utilize it to give her an edge. This kid is a phenomenal talent and one who will go to Ohio State looking to push for court time early.

An international sensation that just competes. Daria has so many qualities, it’s hard to pinpoint a particular one that stands out the most. For starters, and if you didn’t know, she is an Ohio State signee who will be a tremendous asset to their program. This kid can score the basketball, rising above opponents who contest her shot. She can spot up from deep, but also put it on the floor to get into her shot or attack the rim. She’s on the boards but also blocks shots and can sit down and guard, too. Her long arms allow her to poke balls loose or get deflections, which usually translate into easy buckets. She was named MVP of the tournament, and rightfully so. A talented individual who will contribute right away at the next level.

One of the best players in the state, the Ohio State signee was red hot from the field. She was scorching the net from arc, hitting 4-6 three-pointers. She did work on the interior, as she got to favorable spots on the floor and finished. The mid-range game was on point, finishing through contact was also there, and DB was the MVP of this game for sure. She finished with a double-double with 26 points and 10 rebounds to go along with 2 assists and 3 steals. It’s an awesome way to go out on top and finish a stellar career.

Such a talented kid who can pick her spots on the floor to exploit. She dialed it up from three but was working inside the arc just as well. USJ had no answer for her as she scored 26 points for her ball club. She was a threat every time she touched the ball. If she wasn’t putting it in the bottom of the net, she was getting that ball moving, swinging it to the open player or dishing it down low. Had a big-time day that helped her ball club advance.

An international sensation, she is phenomenal in the open floor. Blessed with size, she can exploit a defense in multiple ways. DB can create off the dribble, spot up on along the arc, post up, face up, dang she just scores the rock. What I love about her even more is her confidence. Every time the ball leaves her hand, she believes it is going in (and usually does). She’s long and defensively she gets steals, deflections, and block shots. She contributes on the board as well, making it tough for opponents to get extra shot attempts. She’s been a top prospect for years and will attend Ohio State this fall. Sensational talent who is fun to watch.

You have to show love to someone a) who is an Ohio State signee and b) someone whose game is flawless. She’s a smooth operator who competes on both ends of the floor. A 3 levels scoring threat who can pull up in transition and knock it down or continue on and get to the rim with ease. She’s on the boards, she locks up on the defensive end. You can’t count her out because everything she does impacts the success of her club.

I keep trying to figure out who I could compare her game to, well, tah dah, I figured it out. Add her size and length into the equation she plays like Kevin Durant. Just like KD, this kid can pull it from multiple spots on the floor effortlessly. She is going to take whatever the defense gives her. She can create, has great court awareness, and can contribute in multiple ways in every facet of the game.

 She’s got to be mentioned as District MVP and a Miss Tennessee nominee. The Ohio State commit plays the game so effortlessly. As you all know, she can score from anywhere on the floor, but it’s her confidence to do so that makes her that much more impressive. She can pull up from the arc, hesi to get to the mid-range, contribute on the boards. Super tough get who plays that way on both ends of the floor.

Easy Money. The Ohio State commit is lethal. This kid can pull it from multiple spots on the floor effortlessly. She plays at her own tempo, getting to favorable spots on the floor. From the arc, she’s money. From the mid-range, she’s golden. Her ability to get steals and block shots, well she’s the total package. One of the top kids in the state, this kid is phenomenal. Ohio State got a steal in this young lady. 

The Ohio state commit is one of the most decorated international players to play within this state. This kid is tough and she can light up the score board like no other. She has an impressive shooting style, where she will unleash it from multiple spots on the floor. Her length is a problem as she gets her hands on the ball. Steals, deflections, rebounds. This kid can play 1-5. A sensational talent that will showcase her skills nightly as she looks to reclaim the title in the Single A division.
