Karlee’s comment: “I chose Grace because I was looking for a school and basketball program that has a family atmosphere. I felt welcomed the second I stepped on campus. I’m excited to continue building relationships with the team and coaches and to continue growing as a basketball player and an individual.”
Coach Dan’s comments: “To sign somebody of her caliber late in the summer really puts an exclamation point to what we considered a strong recruiting class. She will have an immediate impact on our team. With her size, strength and speed, she will be dynamic. Defensively she will add a lot to our paint defense, and offensively she gives us a dominant back-to-the-back scorer. She can also hit a jumper or take players on the drive. She's a great fit to our program and culture.
