Local paper has a nice, long piece on Irwin's career and future as State College's playoffs beginning tomorrow. This article will also be in the recruit thread.
A major reason for the big numbers, along with being 6-2, is her knowledge and skill in the post. She has moves that are hard to find in high school.
“She’s such a student of the game,” Bethany said. “I tell her, ‘Would you just do a simple drop step?’ (Husband, father and assistant coach) Rob is always yelling, ‘plain vanilla, plain vanilla!’ You don’t have to do all that other (stuff). UConn’s not that razzle-dazzle. It’s plain vanilla, it’s a drop step, it’s an up-and-under. The last six, eight games she just went back to basics and wasn’t trying to do too much. She was just doing the right thing.”
....
“(She has) genuine passion for the game, and excitement for other people’s success as much as herself if not more,” said Huskies assistant coach Marisa Moseley, who was on hand for the 43-point night against Hollidaysburg and figures she has seen Irwin play about 10 times. “She competes on every single play, plays both sides of the ball, runs the floor harder than most kids in college do.”
