I’ve seen this one up close and personal a lot, and she is an absolute monster. She plays on Metro’s new National level team, but that top team must be extremely deep because Abisola is a star. She has so much strength and can block with anyone, then when she wants to can just turn it on and do so much offensively. When playing for her HS team it’s so loaded that she doesn’t often end up the focal point of the offense, but when she does it’s hard to find a team that can match up and stop her. She was my MVP for an in season tournament last season, dominating several games both offensive and defensively. It’s only a matter of time before she breaks onto that Travel team, but it speaks to the crazy depth Metro has that a player this good is on the 2nd team.

It was on full display today why she’s the no. 2-ranked middle, and #14 overall player. She has the athleticism to play any of the 3 front row positions, with her strength and high-level blocking coupled with her arm swing, power, and inside the 10-foot range, she’s hard to answer. Her side-to-side speed is next level, letting her move with the set and be ready anywhere on the court. Just a sophomore, she’s due to break out a bit more before all is said and done, which is a terrifying thought if she’s this good now. She will be an early commit for sure, and this club season is shaping up to be something popcorn-worthy.
