“In my 29 years of coaching basketball at the high school and collegiate level, I’ve never seen a more dominant player than Jordan Horston. Her game doesn’t have a flaw. She’s able to shoot the three, mid-range and attack the basket, and she’s a very good defender with an amazing nose for the ball.”
