Very unlikely. Can't imagine who would think that could be true. Hidalgo
played at Paul VI against the top teams in the country, was a consensus Top 5 player in her class, and a McD AA. She had tremendous athletic ability including elite speed, strength and quickness. Sears is none of those things.
Why not just let the girl come in and try to contribute before putting all these expectations on her? It's crazy.
