Safari has gone from a relative unknown a few years ago to being ranked in the top 10 in her class in the state and holding two P4 offers heading into her sophomore season. It was easy to see why on Sunday. The 6′ inside-out threat looks the part now with three years left in high school. She is a strong kid with broad shoulders and good strength who powered over and through defenders in the painted area. One fadeaway with her back to the basket, after a little shoulder shimmy, that she hit over another six-footer was very impressive. Underdue handles the ball well now and looked competent and confident attacking defenders on the perimeter, before pulling up and knocking down jump shots or getting to the rack and finishing. Safari has earned offers from St. Johns, Mercer, and the last coming from Sam Purcell and the Mississippi State Bulldogs. She will visit Clemson on October 24th for the game against Virginia Tech. She could easily find herself in the top 5 in her class in Georgia with a solid sophomore season.

Safari was knocking on the door of the top ten at the end of the high school season with Langston Hughes. Her size and length combined with HER Elite athleticism give Underdue the physical tools to play at the Power Four level in college. Her continued offensive development is evident when you watch her play. She is becoming more and more consistent scoring around the rim and expanding her game to the midrange and beyond. Her play at Live at Lakepoint drew the interest of multiple teams in the SEC, with one school extending a silent offer to Safari and coach Bernard Pitts.

Long agile forward. High academic. Plays tough inside. Scores in the paint as a springy finisher. Strong rebounder in traffic. Gets good post position. Alters shots. Growing her off the dribble game.
