What Translates to the College Game

  • Shot-making threat: jumper already creates lineup gravity at forward size
  • Size + skill blend: 6'2 with perimeter feel and stretch-forward upside
  • Hybrid forward toughness: plays through contact and can make plays around the rim
  • Frontcourt flexibility: spacer, connector, pop threat, or secondary finisher
  • Projection flexibility: useful role-player floor now, with room to grow into more offense later

Why Programs Should Track Her

Aslyn has the roster equation coaches chase: forward size with real shooting upside.

The sell is not that she needs every touch — it is that her tools can become easy to use inside a college system.

If her spacer identity becomes consistent, her size, toughness, and frontcourt utility give her a clear college fit.
