ASGR has her ranked at #22 right now. I think she could be a great one for Cal! She looks almost as athletic as Gen Brandon, but already has better footwork and looks more natural as a basketball player. Perhaps more athletic than Reshanda Gray! Not as strong and built, but more graceful, and less like a "bull in a china shop" mixing it up down low. Might have longer arms than both, too. Definitely faster and stronger than Range appeared. Might not have her outside shot (yet?) but I think we actually need someone who can play more of a traditional power forward role. I think she'll have more of an immediate impact (and also a higher ceiling) than the pair we signed last year. She may even prove to be a better get than Kakala. Kakala is smooth, bigger/wider, agile, with soft hands and a nice shooting stroke, but she can't run the floor like Styles (who does so like a deer), so Styles may fit our team better.

Blessed & proud to announce that I've committed to play basketball at Cal Berkeley! Go Bears! ������ all glory to God!

Let's get it straight, it's Cal, not cal berkeley

puget sound cal fan-I believe that it's a free membership. I cannot remember paying for it. GO BEARS!

Actually, Styles will compliment Kristine, Range, West and Davidson in the front court rotation.

Range will be a senior next season. Since Styles does not play for the Bears until 2017, Range will have graduated. So will Waters. When Styles gets to Cal, Anigwe will be junior, Cowling and Green and Davidson will be seniors. West and Brown will be Sophs. Time flies!

Don't forget Chen. By 2017 she may be a monster!

Any reports on her blueshirt year?

Nice job!

A good reminder of how things can turn so quickly in recruiting...

Styles sounds great, and I think she'll really enjoy Cal!

@ Pat- after reading this article just curious to know SoCal girl was not interested in UCLA, were you all lookin at her? I'm glad we got her but I just found that interesting...

Sorry if this is a repeat, since the article was about a week ago.

Styles appears to still be growing. If she's a legit 6'2" now, I wonder how tall she'll be when she reports for Summer Bridge a year from now? She's going to be a superb basketball player for Cal.

Though just video, I am VERY high on Styles from what I saw. She definitely looked like a McDonald's AA/top 20 player to me. Her inside presence was ALMOST reminiscent of Nneka Ogwumike in how lightnight quick and efficient she is in getting off the ground (with some nice footwork and moves!) and finishing. And she looks quite comfortable crouched down handling the ball around the perimeter. If she can shoot (or develop/hone her outside shot) she could be the type of player who can score anywhere on the floor at the college level. If she continues to develop through Cal, I can see her landing in the WNBA coming right out of college.
