Expert Analysis

I’ve talked about what a great Summer Layla had, and she continues to gain momentum. Some of that could be the fact that she’s one of just a handful of the top 2023s throughout the Midwest who remain uncommitted. But a lot of it is surely due to the potential coaches see in her. This Winter could be another big steppingstone in her recruitment. The Lady Irish have size, so she’ll be able to play more around the perimeter, knocking down jumpers and attacking the basket. She has also shown an improved ability to defend outside.

Layla is another extremely long forward, she is a smooth and gliding athlete, and she shows a great deal of touch around the perimeter. In fact, her lefty stroke is kind of her calling card. She is dangerous outside, whether it’s from inside-out passes or ball-screen-and-pop situations. Defensively, she needs to play a little lower and use her length, but I feel like she has the quickness to defend bigger guards, wings, and some power forwards. She played two years at Park Tudor before transferring to Cathedral last year.
