Very comfortable going left or right and trusts the left hand going to the basket. That's always nice to see. Can make the assist in traffic. Didn't see evidence of her outside shot. 5'6".

We gots shooters. We need a point guard who understands "possession, with the intent to distribute."

Agree, but I do like PGs who can shoot, esp. from outside. From that little bit of video, Gemma shows a strong ability to get to the basket if there's a seam. Seems like she has a quick burst when needed. Also note that she looks pretty tall compared to the other players on the court in that video, but the trees will be taller in D-1.

Bumping this ancient thread in case folks want to see that highlight video again.

I don't think you missed anything. Just reporting a different event perhaps. I think mine was the verbal. Perhaps there is a signed NLI now. Or does that happen with international players? I don't know. I'm glad we have her as a Wildcat.

I hear that this is no longer true.
