That's cool, looks like she was highly regarded out of high school.

Oh wow she’s been in the portal for what seems like forever, she showed good flashes at UNC but decided to transfer, happy to have her at OU, but we still need some size... now the transfer in to OU is open I think we will land a post player.

I am confident that Baranczyk and Osahor know a lot about this new transfer who played high school in Little Rock. Oshaor coached at Arky last year and probably tried to recruit her or certainly know all about her abilities and personal qualities.

She is listed on this stat sheet. Looks like she only shot 12 last year and made 5. Played an average of 9 minutes per game, if I read the stats right. So maybe she went in for defense or when it was slowdown time. Or maybe she was just not a designated shooter.
