I've learned she did not start playing basketball until she was a seventh grader.  Volleyball had been her sport before that.  Her AAU stats are below.  Her team was pretty bad as it won just 2 of its 16 games.   She averaged 16 min/game.  Her stats don't jump out but she is ranked as the No. 1 player in Florida, No. 3 center in the nation and the No. 16 overall player in the country for the recruiting class, per 247Sports' Composite rankings.  She also participated in the 2024 USA Women’s U17 National Team trials.
