Taylor’s performance at the PGH Expo reminded everyone why she is one of the premier prospects in the 2027 class. With her athleticism on full display, Samira put on a clinic on the offensive end of the floor. From a swift Eurostep through traffic, to elevating over the defense for a smooth pullup jumper in the midrange, to knocking down threes with ease, the DeLaSalle junior showed what it means to be a three-level scorer. Following the graduation of several seniors, including Richmond freshman Aneisha Scott, Taylor is likely to be a crucial piece for the Islanders this winter.

Taylor has the size, skill and ability to be a 3-level scorer and a lockdown defender. She just glides up and down the court and can hit a 2^nd gear if there’s a sliver of space to get to the basket. Taylor’s athletic ability enables her to rebound with anyone and her ball handling makes her match-up nightmare in the open court. Samira has already earned the $32 prospect ranking in the Class of 2027. Once Tshe puts it all together, Taylor will be a force to be reckoned with.
