Expert Analysis
George Courtney | Prep Girls Hoops Scout
Shirley is a scrappy playmaker with good basketball IQ. I like her ability to read plays on both sides of the floor. She plays extremely tough and displayed it by finishing through contact a few times. Shirley is one of the sleeper prospects small colleges and jucos should keep an eye on as she has tremendous upside.

Shirley is the heart and soul of the Wolves. Her leadership and energy fuel everything Chandler does. She’s vocal, tough, and plays with purpose. Offensively, she’s a capable shot-maker who will punish defenders if left open. More importantly, she sets the tone defensively and keeps her team composed in key moments — exactly what you want from your floor general.

A steady floor general with a high basketball IQ, she runs the show with confidence and can knock down open shots when defenses sag off. Her shooting is underrated, and she can go on scoring runs of her own.

Shirley had a very nice club season. She displayed her all-around guard skills. She did a good job of putting pressure on defenses and creating opportunities as a scorer and as a passer. Her shooting was lights out, and she showed why she is one of the top shooters in the class.

Shirley looks more comfortable every time I see her play. She looked like she was in complete control of the offense no matter what defense was being thrown at her. She shot the ball well from the perimeter
