Cailyn impressed me with her grittiness on the court. She never gave up on a ball and she gave 100% on every single play from warmups to scrimmaging. On top of that, Cailyn has great hands and a very controlled jump set which she utilizes across the court. Cailyn kept catching my eye throughout the day because of her great plays and positive, gritty attitude.
