Talley has a strong argument as the best pure point guard in the class. The 5’9 floor leader from Mitchell combines elite speed and acceleration with exceptional ball-handling ability and an advanced understanding of how to run an offense. Nia is shifty and creative, using changes of pace and direction to keep defenders off balance before exploding past them with a deadly first step. She puts constant pressure on the defense, attacks one-on-one matchups with confidence and has the perimeter shooting ability to punish defenders who give her space. Talley also sees the floor exceptionally well and processes the game quickly, making her dangerous as both a scorer and facilitator. Defensively, she understands angles, competes with gusto and uses her quickness with purpose. South Dakota, South Dakota State and Omaha have already extended scholarship offers and there will be more to come.

Nia was one of three 2030’s at the Who’s Next.  She was really impressive for how young of a player she is.  She was able to dominate the 1-on-1 finishing station.  She was able to get to wherever she wanted by the rim and had an array of creative finishes.  Defensively she was able to find the right angle and wall-up her opponents.  She is going to be a big-time player.
