Massengill is ranked #26 in the country, and the 7th best point guard in the country in ESPN rankings for the 2018 class. ESPN’s Dan Olson writes that Massengill is an “explosively athletic combo-guard (that) brings size to the back court; rebounds, handles and distributes in transition; delivers off the dribble, elevates in mid-range game; among the elite prospects in the class of 2018.”
Playing on a team with four players ranked in the top 25 in their respective class, Massengill has averaged 9.9 points-per-game; 5.7 rebounds per game; and her assist/turnover ratio of 3.74.
