“Being regionally near us, we’ve watched her for a long, long time. I’ve really enjoyed her college career and have watched her grow up. I think the thing that I like about Megan the most is how coachable and how competitive she is. I think that gives her a chance to possibly do well at the next level. I think that only being 6’3 and doing what she does I think is probably where we kind of go, okay, where does she fit in, is she a center or is she a power forward. I think she’s very aware she’s going to have to step away from the basket. I think we’ve seen her do that a little bit, be able to play from the foul line. But I think if you look at a player that’s passionate for the game and has a work ethic, there’s a chance she could improve in those areas that really make her a viable pick.”
