“Emilee Skinner is as good a player as I’ve seen in high school over the last 15 years. She’s a player you’re never going to shut down, just hope to slow down. She also elevates everyone around her. I believe she could score 30-plus a night, but she gets her teammates involved. She’s truly as good as everyone says she is.”
