If Coach Schaefer would give her a good look at the point position....could payoff. She's smooth with the ball, high level player. Also, she's exceptional on defense, with very good atheticism and instincts, high energy. Tough player.
I watched a good bit of East Hamilton's game against powerhouse Hamilton Heights. They (East Hamilton HS) got beat pretty good in that game, but you could easily see that Hayes was one of the best players on the court. Had a few mistakes, but her court vision, ball handling, passing ability, and poise were very noticeable. Off ball movement on both ends looked sharp, movement with sort of an even flow. Not easily rushed offensively, showed an ability to dictate pace. Had lazy looking pass here and there. Also, wasn't impressive from the perimeter, but normally took good shots. Showed good ability to get to the free throw line, even if she forced the shot on a drive. Very good at the free line in this game. She blocked shots in this game, knocked balls loose, solid on defense. Overall...looked good. Mostly looked to help setup her teammates.
Hamilton Heights looked like an SEC level team. Also, has one player (Kamilla Cardoso) around 6-6, 6-7, and another (who's recruiting this player) that looked even taller. Mostly high level division 1 type talent. Very good guards, very quick, good shooters. This team can beat quite a few division 1 college teams, some fairly easily.
