She has earned everything she’s gotten, and she has put together a very impressive senior season. Averaging just over 19 points per game, Nina is a highlight reel with the ball in her hands. Not only is she able to score, but the way she is able to do it. She can explode to the rim and finish, she also reacts well anticipates on the defensive end, which turns into points. Outstanding three-point shooter also!

Rodriguez, who is taking her skills to the University of Detroit Mercy, knows how to rattle the ball through the net! But what impresses me most is her defense, Nina’s stop and go movement with the rock that makes her difficult to contain, and her communication to teammates! (Below on defense)

Watched a film from her this summer, and it’s incredible how poised this kid can be. If the game gets tough, she calmly can settle things down. Can score in all three phases of the game and is really strong with the ball. Picked up a good offer from Detroit in July.

Nina’s hustle back on defense really stands out, as well as how she speeds up the game offensively!  She leaves it all out on the court! Communicates well, solid handles, finishes strong inside. 

She will make deep three-pointers from a distance. Rodriguez plays on high alert, throughout game, so you need to be aware of her whereabouts at all times! A strong defender, quick to react, and able to spot an open teammate. With or without the ball, she moves smoothly across the floor. A powerful player who attacks the rim with tremendous force. Under pressure, she maintains her composure and protects the ball.

She is capable of scoring lights out from behind the three-point arc. She can shoot from anywhere on the floor once her feet are in position. She takes off down the floor with ease even with or without the ball. Strong player that assaults the rim with extreme aggression. She guards the ball and exercises true self-control when she is under pressure. She has one D-1 offer and two D-2 offers and makes a huge jump in the rankings from number 60 to number 33.
