It's just a matter of time until the KFC YUM! Center becomes "Payton's Place".

Jeff Walz on Verhulst:

“When the night’s over and you look at the stat sheet, she rebounds the ball, she can pass it, she scores, she’s got very good instincts on the defensive end of the floor.”

Excited for her and Sydni Schetnan to come in next year and add their talents to a team that is already talented. She will be another fun player to watch and she is somebody our fans can be proud of on and off the court.

Man, am I privileged to be able to go to every home game live in person. I love watching out lady cards and can’t wait to see our recruits come in next year. As always, it’s going to be an exciting year. Let’s grab a championship first 😉

I believe she is a guard. Might play the 3 though. Not sure what CJW’s plan is.
 
She’s a 6’1 1/2” guard she can drive the lane, create her own shot or shoot the 3.
 
I accidentally left out rebound she definitely jumps for the ball. You are right it will be a great backcourt with Payton and HVL.
