Indya NIVAR
Apex Friendship High School (North Carolina)
New espnW 100 ranking: 20
Previous espnW 100 ranking: 54
Recruiting Finalists: NC State, Stanford
Nivar created quite the buzz among college coaches this summer. After not being able to watch live high school basketball for over a year, Division I coaches benefitted from finally being able to return to the packed sidelines to view players again. Nivar took that opportunity to prove that she had added to her game and earn several scholarship offers.
The 5-foot-9 Nivar has a naturally strong build and leaping ability, and demostrates this as she glides to finishes at the rim or takes contact on powerful finishes off of two feet against bigger defenders. Her pull-up jump shot is fundamentally sound and she is a catch-and-shoot 3-point threat as well. Nivar has a solid handle and uses her footwork and angles to get to her spots.
Defensively, her lateral speed and quickness allow her to guard multiple positions on the perimeter. As mentioned, her jumping ability helps her efforts to rebound and quickly start the transition break.
Nivar rose this summer by becoming more aggressive offensively. She announced her final three schools on September 7: North Carolina, NC State and Stanford."
