Fast Ice
No one around here's seen Shanice McKoy play yet.
No one around here's ever seen another player like her either.
All the great Lady Longhorns of the past Harris, Davis, Hall etc. have all been frontcourt players. There's been an assortment of quality guards to feed these greats but never one like McKoy, who put up numbers in high school that would make past stellar Longhorn men like TJ and BJ jealous. The game clips in this video are dazzling. There is one shake and bake move where an outsized McKoy weaves through a forest of opponents seeming to move independently of the ball. Only Allen Iverson has a higher degree black belt in that kind of Kung Fu.
American xenocentrism, yardsticks and a near death experience have allowed McKoy a stealthy entrance onto the Forty Acres. Her unheraldedocity matches her reserved, businesslike facade. Quiet assassin, unflappable QB...time will tell what reputation Shanice McKoy will cultivate. If off court demeanor is any indication as to what we should expect it shouldn't be long before Coach G. lets this magic genie out of the bottle to silently slice and dice the Big (insert random number here) and the NCAA. Until then we'll have to settle for old Marcus Haynes videos.

I would also like to say that I am a very privileged individual for being given the opportunity to play for such a passionate woman of the game, like Coach GailGoestenkor. I am looking forward to a great season with wonderful girls and a phenomenal coaching staff by my side.
