Even in high school at Notre Dame Academy, University of Toledo senior center Kaayla McIntyre exhibited everything you want in a post player.
Her ability to catch passes in traffic and her gentle touch around the rim has made her one of the top field-goal percentage shooters in Rockets’ history and one of the top inside threats in the Mid-American Conference.
But what sets McIntyre apart from others is her poise and maturity in the face of pressure, whether that’s handling constant double and triple-teams in the post or handling everything that comes along with being the hometown kid.
