Gottlieb on Waters:
“I will not forget the first moment that I saw KC on a basketball court. She was an 8th grader who was already dominant, and my first thought was: that’s a Cal post player! She has a combination of size, skill and athleticism that will make her special at the next level. It has been fun to see her expand her skill set at Bishop O’Dowd and with Team Taurasi, and we look forward to finally having her in a blue and gold jersey.”
