I remember seeing Taliyah Hanks a year or two ago on the far courts of the Mideast Qualifier thinking who is this?  The 6’2 middle blocker out of the Kalamazoo, Michigan area has unreal athleticism.  She can get from pin to pin to seal the block while transitioning to terminate off multiple tempos. She might not walk right into USC and dominate, but she is one who could be scary good by the end of her collegiate career.  The ceiling is incredibly high for Hanks.
