she also appears to be a very good defender, according to her hoop stats.com.

side note - the rivals article also notes that kate clarke also entered the portal…she did not play much as a frosh this past season.

I just watched some video on her.  She has good footwork and is pretty athletic.  She has a nice jump shot from 6 to 8 feet and runs the floor well.  She appears to shoot with confidence and positions herself well around the block.  Hope she works out.

I watched WMU women vs Buffalo this season and I was very impressed with Taylor Williams. She had good handles for her size and is tough for other slower bigs to guard. She got into trouble when she tried to do too much with the ball and smaller players were able to poke the ball away. Needs to finish more consistently around the basket too. Definitely excited by this, she struck me as a high major player on a mid major team.

Watched highlights from her game against Akron. Was really impressed with her passing for a post player. Much different player than Kiser or Naz. Not sure she’s quite at their level but will bring some athleticism, which is something we need.
