She will make you look silly because she can deflect shots at all different angles and she loves to do it with authority. Her defensive skills alone make her an elite player.

Blocking shots out of bounds and off the backboard, knocking down jump shots from the midrange and even a few threes without hesitation showed why some Power Four programs have already extended offers.
