Coach Nelson on Sydney Bryant… Not many athletes are 6-4 and move as gracefully as Sydney. Her potential is significant. We were also impressed by her ball control and game management during our foreign tour prep. These are rare skills for a young outside of her stature. She’s still learning the speed of this level, and we’re eagerly anticipating her development this fall.
