The GVSU commit will be a headline player in Romulus on the 27th. She’s one of the top 2 way players in the state and has been rolling so far this season. Dillard is a constant threat to score with her ability to shoot from outside, manufacture buckets from mid range and power under the rim.

Dillard absolutely battled in the loss. That’s one of the great things about her as a basketball player – the competitive fire. That was very evident at the Icebreaker Challenge. She led her team in scoring and almost hit double figures in rebounds as well.

Dillard and her game have been on an upward trend for quite a while now. In a recent Kalamazoo Central win, she finished with 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 steals. And that was in just 3 quarters of basketball. The GVSU commit has people in Allendale excited for sure. The offensive numbers are pretty, but the best part about it is that she was equally as good on the defensive end. You could easily say that Dillard is one of the best 2 way players in the state.

Dillard is the kind of player that every coach wants and that no coach wants to take off the floor. She’s willing to go the limits for her team and will be the first to hit the floor, take a charge, or grab a huge rebound.

The Grand Valley State commit led her team to a Conference and District Championship, and a 21-2 record last season. She was a 2nd-team Associated Press All- State selection. She will continue to put up big numbers and help her team make it deeper in the postseason.

Check the boy’s Labor Day Special because I wrote this same thing about MJ Yeager. Give me 5 Tayla Dllard’s and you’re handing me championships. She plays with as much grit as any player in the state of Michigan. She’s willing to sacrifice and lay it all on the line for her team. You can see it in the way Dillard attacks the glass and plays off contact in the mid range.

Next tax season I’m going to have to file a spending report entitled “Dillard” for all the ink and paper I’ve used. Once again, she stood out. Dillard has been one of the most consistent players in the state dating all the way back to the beginning of the calendar year.

College coaches would be well advised to have Dillard on their radar as they head to Run 4 The Roses. If you like 2 way players on the wing, then I’d start here. Dillard has an elite mid range game with her combination of toughness and touch. She has the strength to initiate and play through contact, but also has the touch to get finesse buckets.

Dillard has created a name and a niche in the world of Michigan high school basketball. It’s been fun to watch her game and confidence grow. Dillard is an elite mid range player with strength and touch. That being said, she can still bury a jumper from behind the arc as well as finish at the rim. Dillard is a gritty and versatile defender that has thrived this spring with UTS.
