SCOUTING REPORTS

Purdue head coach Sharon Versyp..."Lakeshia brings strength and athleticism to our program. She is a tremendous rebounder and defender. She is physically gifted and uses her body extremely well. Her power is impressive, but she can also dazzle you with inside moves and perimeter drives. Keshia brings a new element to Boilermaker basketball that will ensure her success on the college level." (November 9, 2006)

"Bring Your A Game" recruiting service scouting the Martin Luther King Tournament..."She is the female Zach Randolph. At about 6'1, she is a beast down in the low post. She aggressively establishes position, calls for the ball and finishes with a nifty array of power lay-ups, hooks and short jumpers. She is left-handed and showed a medium range jump shot, but she was tenacious in the post both offensively and defensively. She claimed the big rebounds and scored over double and triple teams." (January 14, 2006)

Detroit Community head coach Nkwane Young..."She's very skilled offensively for a big girl. I feel she's the best low-post player in the state. She plays physical and is a good passer too." (November 28, 2005)

Detroit Community head coach Nkwane Young..."You cannot guard her one-on-one; teams had to guard her with two or three people. She's the gas in the team car; if you have no gas the car doesn't start." (October 9, 2005)
