Wow!
She has tons of potential but has not developed well under the Syracuse coaching staff. She will be a great get.
Engstler (#9, 2018 Hoopgurlz) has transformed her fitness. Averaged almost a double-double this year. Plays taller than 6-1. At 37% from deep, can stretch the defense. She is capable of succeeding anywhere, but I could see her skill set fitting in seamlessly at a Louisville or Maryland (the latter, especially as she had 3 B10 schools in her final 5--Purdue, Ohio State, and Rutgers).
Sched234: While you may have a point about Coach Q and staff not fully developing her, someone (maybe just her) got her fitness transformed.
That shows me focus and discipline. And she likes to play the game...a lot.
I thought she was Syracuse's most important player this year. Per BoomBoom's point, she plays much taller than her height which she uses offensively and defensively. She can shoot the three, but has a good enough handle to attack the basket.
I could actually see her fitting in well with Ohio State which -- post-Mitchell -- moves the ball around pretty well and allows it's players the options of ISO's and set and shoots. Wonder if she knows frosh guard Kateri Poole, another native New Yorker?
From a parochial standpoint, I know Niele Ivey is looking to transition to a team of players who are multi-faceted and Engstler would be a poster child for that (along with a Sonia Citron and Maddy Westbeld, who shares a lot fo the same attributes of EE).
Stay tuned.
