Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 4422886, member: 10363"] FWIW, I am always very reticent to comment on recruits, because after scouting players for a number of years, the jump from HS to D1 is huge and projecting IMO is an inexact science to say the least. A good friend whom I did a fair amount of scouting with through the years still scouts but being older, like me, he now works almost exclusively the women’s game; it is just way more “old school” basketball than the mens game. Anyway, knowing it was THE thing I always looked for first, a year or better ago, he called me to tell me that he saw a young lady play at a tournament that was as ferocious a competitor as he had seen in a long, long time. It turned out he was referring to Ms. Shade, which I confirmed with him after starting to read about her here. That and her “in today‘s game” very unusual highly advanced mid-range game made a very lasting impression on him. [/QUOTE]
