Danyle Bowers | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Kariya, a post player for 5Star, made her presence felt during the MI College Tour III stop at Grand Valley on Saturday with a strong showing on the interior. She displayed reliable hands and a soft finish around the basket, converting efficiently in close. She was active on the glass at both ends, consistently securing rebounds and creating extra opportunities for her team. Kariya also brought a physical edge in the post, holding her ground and competing inside, while showing touch on a smooth turnaround jumper.

Read EvaluationBrandon Bradley | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Kariya really jumped onto the radar this season, as she was a big impact player at Marian all Winter, averaging 16.9 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. She has a strong, athletic frame, some length, and she is a nice run-and-jump athlete. While she has a great deal of talent and potential, she is still refining her skill around the block. Once that comes, she could be scary, because she’s already highly effective at the defensive end of the floor. She will be a fun one to watch develop over the next couple of years, and there should be plenty of interested colleges by the time it’s done.
