Isabelle was extremely active Sunday, and she at times looked like a seasoned veteran around the younger prospects. She has an athletic frame with some length and strength. She has worked to become much more effective creating off the bounce, whether she’s getting to the basket or finding open teammates. She looked like she was playing more of a point forward position than anything, which could definitely help her recruiting, as long as she remains efficient and productive doing so. She’s an active and aggressive rebounder, plus she can defend multiple positions, including undersized “bigs”.

Isabelle followed in her sister’s footsteps at Fort Wayne’s Bishop Dwenger High School. Now, as a Junior, she’ll be competing with the Snider Panthers and their nucleus of elite young talent. Izzy brings her own athletic talent, good size, and the ability to play at all three levels. She can play around the paint with her size, rebound, and defend, but she also has some ball skill, the ability to make plays around the perimeter and in the mid-post, and she has improved her touch from outside, helping to keep defenses honest.

Isabelle put herself on our radar last Fall at our Freshman Showcase, and she was back this year, a couple of inches taller, stronger, more athletic, and more skillful. She has turned herself into a really nice wing/forward prospect who can do a variety of things on the court. She has the size to play in the mid-post, defend the interior, and rebound effectively. At the same time, she is a talented athlete, she has the ability to put the ball on the floor and create, plus she can sit down and defend. As her perimeter jumper becomes more consistent, watch out!
