Color me surprised.   Still think we're a long shot but at least still in the hunt.

Give or take a little (early on she said she was looking forward to build a relationship) 1 in 15 chance or .0666666667 chance.

(I suppose like everyone else) (except to the school she goes to)

Her previously undefeated season ended in a district semifinal loss.   Her averages for 29 games.

22.0p  /  11.5r  /  3.4a  /  3.3s  /  .9b  /  2.5t        57% FG  /  36% on 3s  /  64% FT

She's listed as 6'1" but has a very slender build.    While she averaged just 2.5 tos/gm., of the 29 games, she had 5+ tos in 6 of the games.  She was a very consistent scorer as her lowest point game was 13 in the second game of the season.  She had 10 games with 25+ pts.

That’s after playing on USA team….some schools including Iowa and the others are on many 5 star recruit lists while Indiana gets weeded out at about the top 7 to 10.  And far and few between to win a recruiting battle among top programs if IU does make it to top 3 of a player list…. However, A. Nymcheck is a solid win.
