At 5-foot-11 with excellent length and mobility, Gerdes has many of the physical tools college coaches covet. The Lennox forward combines size with skill, allowing her to impact games in a variety of ways. Defensively, her wingspan, timing and instincts make her disruptive against players of all positions as she forces turnovers, contests shots and rebounds consistently. Offensively, Gerdes is equally versatile, capable of slashing to the basket, stepping out to knock down perimeter shots and making smart decisions with the ball in her hands. Her high basketball IQ and ability to contribute in multiple facets of the game make her one of the stronger long-term prospects in the class.

The 5’11 wing/forward from Lennox is a skilled, mobile athlete who thrives in the open court and brings quickness that shows up on both ends. Her length and athleticism allow her to guard multiple positions, but what really sticks out is how she uses that length with timing, anticipation, and instincts to make plays defensively. It’s one thing to have a wingspan; it’s another to turn it into a weapon. Tori does exactly that. She’s disruptive, piling up steals, and hauling down rebounds. Offensively, she’s a slasher who creates opportunities and keeps pressure on the defense, while also showing the ability to step out and knock down shots with range. Add in a high basketball IQ and you have a well-rounded prospect.
