..for one year at Paul VI High School.

- Rated #9 Prospects Nation, #49 ESPN Hoopgurlz. The 6-foot-3 forward from Waldorf, Maryland, is a former McDonald's All-American.

- According the linked article below, Collins averaged 5.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 14.5 minutes for Tennessee as a freshman this past season. She started the final four games of the year and averaged 9 points and 2.3 rebounds during that stretch.

In the few games I watched her, I thought she had an eye for the ball and was certainly very athletic for her size.

- She's only a freshman so would have three years of eligibility.
Where ever she transfers, you'd think she'd put in for a wavier to play immediately given the coaching change. Plus, she seems like she'd get a positive review from the TN. administration for meeting with the coach after the switch. (The "blessings" from former schools are viewed as a positive who look for NCAA "white smoke" on these waivers.)

- MM, Niele and/or Carol must've seen her while taking in Mik Vaughn during high school. And it would only take a chat with Mik to see if she could fit in with ND's current squad. Plus, Sam would probably know her, too, given how often Brunelle came up to the DC area.

Since we've heard crickets in regards to Cooks, perhaps this is another option.

(Tip of the hat to posters at the 'yard for some information, including, or course, the intrepid Orangutan.)
