Losing her big big blow for UK
Scott is a 6-foot wing player out of North Carolina, where she was a member of the No. 4 nationally-ranked Myers Park High School Team. She was ranked as the No. 41 wing in the nation by ESPN when she signed in November, but is no longer in the ESPN top 100.
During last year’s championship season at Myers Park, Scott averaged 12.7 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, along with 3.0 steals and 1.7 blocks per game. She originally chose Kentucky over Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Indiana and East Carolina.
