Kia White is another one of those young ladies I had a
chance on catching in middle school that just got “it” early and by that I mean
“comprehension of the game” I saw that
desire in her every time she stepped on the floor, no matter what the score
was, who she played against or whatever , attitude, demeanor and performance
never changed and when you lay it all out there over and over, continue to
progress on the floor and excel both on the court and in the classroom, you
know things will definitely fall into place
Her performance at Desoto HS, which is in one of, if not
the toughest, districts in the state this decade as well as on the circuit with
DFW Elite, she impressed more than me as college offers started to pour in and
recently after the last viewing period a couple of weeks ago, she picked up an
addition four offers before deciding on SMU so my question to her was what made
her choose the Mustangs and she said “I chose SMU because Coach Mays reminds me so much of
Coach Robinson and Coach Creel, who are two of the best coaches I've ever had.
They pushed me to reach new levels, and I believe Coach Mays and his staff can
do the same. Also, looking at the other 2018 commits, there is a lot of talent
coming in, and I believe we have the potential to do great things at SMU.”
She is definitely correct because the Mustangs do have
plenty of talent coming in, including Kia’s talented cousin and Desoto teammate
Kayla White, and Kia’s addition is another huge piece to their puzzle
