Before an injury took away her July, Bailey had an impressive first few months of her grassroots season. The Hartford native continued to build on the flashes she showed from this past high school season and brought a physical presence around the basket for her Playground Elite group. I thought she was more consistent finishing around the basket and could be a player who posts a double-double anytime she steps on the floor at her best.

The Hartford native is a physical post player who excelled around the basket when I saw her play with her Playground Elite group. She looked as good around the basket as I’ve seen her, and attacked the offensive boards well, helping her team earn extra possessions. The more she leans into that part of her game and potentially becomes one of the better rebounders in her area, the more appealing her game will be to coaches at the next level. She is more than capable of being a double-double kid at the high school level.

Strong, aggressive player who stood out as one of the more dominant players down low. Keira has the height and strength to finish through contact and a solid array of moves to keep the defense guessing.

Having one of the most talented seniors in the state and one of the best athletes in the state ahead of you makes it tricky to get on the floor. However, Bailey has a future at Hartford. Her size, physicality, and skillset around the rim will provide value at the varsity level for the Orioles. However, she’ll have to wait for her moment, which may be next season.
