Schuller Says
"Grace's addition to this class has really made it a great one. She can play anywhere on the floor and has really nice size for a guard. Physically, I think she will be able to step in right away and compete at the DI level. She is a super scorer and plays extremely hard. I love her range on the perimeter but most importantly I love her competitive nature and who she is as a young lady. She comes from outstanding coaching at Sandpoint HS and at the club level with the Sandpiper program. Those experiences have prepared her to be a really good one at the next level."
