. Each year Gaines has added something new— and now that momentum is impossible to ignore. Gaines has elevated every part of her game: she can get in the lane and score at will, she impacts both ends of the floor, and her midrange in the set offense or in transition is deadly. Defensively, her quick hands, anticipation, and ability to turn steals into fast-break points make her a constant problem for opposing guards and teams. At the most recent PGH Expo was how seamlessly she competed against elite-level guards. Instead of taking a backseat, she matched their energy and sometimes got the better of them. Gaines has the ability to lead her own team, but she also blends beautifully with high-level talent, showing poise and confidence that can translate to the next level. College coaches noticed it too – I have heard a few talking about it. Her aggressiveness, polish, and two-way impact make her the kind of guard college coaches want.
