Here was what prepvolleyball.com wrote about Foluke in their senior aces ranking back when she was a high school senior:
4. Foluke Akinradewo, 6-3 MB, St. Thomas Aquinas (Ft. Lauderdale FL), No club – Stanford
You never saw Akinradewo playing club ball, because she is a three-sport athlete, also excelling in basketball and on the track. The best leaper in the class, she touches an astounding 10-9 and elevates effortlessly, which contributes to her being a devastating attacker and strong blocker. Academically oriented, the Canadian-born Akinradewo is a fast learner. She’ll probably start and be good for Stanford as a freshman and be all-world by the time she’s done.
I remember at the start of her freshman year Foluke was considered a "project" by many fans meaning plenty of potential but lacks polish in the skills of the sport.
