Frese on Hawkins
"I first saw Tianna play in her 9th grade year and her potential was obvious then. As seasons went on, I repeatedly saw her outplay other prospects that were more highly regarded. She can really get off the floor and shoot the ball. She has a chance to develop into a very good college player."
