USC technician Frank Martin: “Devin is long, in that 1.80 m range with very long arms, big hands, he fits the profile of the guards I like to train. He threw a point and threw it away. He is recovering from a shoulder injury he suffered in the last year of high school. Main reason why he went to prep school. But we are very excited about it. Another incredible competitor who is a great teammate. ”

We were first attracted by her versatility, her length, her ability to score, hit, kick and defend. All of these things were considered at the top of our list. We cannot wait until she comes to campus so that we can get our hands on her and really start to understand how to expand her game even further, because she is a player who loves asking questions and really wants to investigate everything and we love it about her. ”
