Sandra Udobi-Ofogu (Columbus, N.J.), Philly Belles: In the frontcourt there is an expectation of toughness and physicality at the Division I level, regardless of skill level or offensive production. Udobi-Ofogu has all those characteristics and is a potential lockdown post defender. She uses her body incredibly well, perhaps due to her international experience for the Nigerian cadet teams -- and gets right up to the limit of being called for a foul. That willingness to mix it up makes whomever she is guarding have to earn everything. Offensively, she has a strong drop step as well as a couple of counter moves she is comfortable going to. Slashing from the high post, she is at her best as her strength and athleticism is rarely denied without well-positioned and capable weak side help. She is a player who will contribute at the college level whether she is a starter or coming off the bench. She does too many things right to not be on the floor.
