247Sports director of scouting Brandon Clay notes that she is a good 3-point shooter with a great defensive identity.
We might have gotten a glimpse of what Flemings will be at the next level during Overtime Select Championship Weekend. Flemings’ ability to make shots and keep Kate Harpring from scoring 30 points in the title game caught the attention of everyone in the media row. Flemings prevented Harpring from getting easy baskets down the stretch of the game, which is much easier said than done. On the offensive end, Flemings showed range beyond the 3-point line and a willingness to rebound as well. Her brother, Kingston, is a highly regarded prospect in his own right.
This will be a new look for the Hurricanes women's team, without the Cavinder Twins catching most of the headlines. The team had plenty of chances of being good last season, but struggled to close games. This season, with a new roster, Cullop will be one of the best coaches in the league.
