Kearney is “long and athletic” and stands way above that magic number but one thing I was impressed about was her aggressiveness as she is starting the realize how dominant she can be inside the paint defensively. With wall to wall college coaches, she seized the opportunity to come from out of nowhere and black countless shots, well I stopped counting yet it was the way she did it, with authority

Kearney is what, 6’4 or 6’5 and “long and athletic” yet her potential is untapped because, how can I say this, her ceiling has no roof. She’s nowhere near the finished product yet she’s finishing stronger around the basket, with either hand and after contact. I enjoyed watching her during the high school season as she rebounded and went coast to coast to score, yeah that’s great, but she changed hands in mid air to score and dropped the MIC for me. Her timing, okay I gave you her height so you should get that but get this, there’s no telling how high she’ll climb with her new club

Kearney is also “long and athletic” plus she’s way over “the magic number” and that alone places her as a #D1Lock when you add her intangibles. Watching her score around the basket and doing it with either hand was part of the progression yet so was her rebounding, which she does on both ends, and go coast to coast to score, with either hand. She’s nowhere near the finished product which is scary because the jumps that she’s made in the improvements are exciting as the jumps she makes to block, alter and (or) deflect shots

Kearney has caught the eye of several next level programs, including BCS/Power 5 schools as well as club programs selling what they can do for her. She’s 6’6, way over “the magic number” and she too is “long and athletic” yet watching her from the initial time I saw her shows what she has “done for herself” and that’s elevate her game. Yes, I loved her timing to block, alter and (or) deflect shots yet she was doing it instinctively and one thing that grabs me is seeing “things you can’t teach”. Speaking of grabbing, her rebounding and going coast to coast while changing hands in mid air JUST DID IT for me
