Not sure the quality of the Belgian domestic league, but surely at least comparable, if not superior, to AAU?

She played for Belgium in the U17 World Championships in Aug 2012. She struggled mightily against the better teams. She actually attempted more shots (173) than her entire team made (170) in that tournament. She took 33% of her team's shots, made 30% of her FGAs and made 28% of her 3s. She may be able to shoot a better percentage when she's surrounded by more talent and not the focus of opponent's defense; or, she just may struggle against better competition.

Sounds like a Grinnell type recruit, that is where Jack Taylor scored 138 points in a game this year.

On the domestic front, I wouldn't waffle about the quality of Belgian chocolates.

The Belgians are known for waffling under pressure.
