Is this Internet Sensation Mya Allen?

Yes.  Have people actually seen her play or just clips here and there on Tiktok?  I will say, I was shocked when TCU offered her.  She is a decent player, but I don't know that she's as great as the internet makes her out to be.  Against real open competition, she often had a hard time producing. 

Saw her play last night. Good player but she was absolutely shut down by the Westlake block. Not kidding when I say she was blocked 5 or 6 times and I wouldn't be surprised if she hit negative in the 2nd and 3rd set. Westlake figured out that she hits to the same spot (hard cross to Libero) about 85-90% of the time. Once they had her dialed in she was done. The score reflect this. I think it was 25/22 then like 25-14 for the last 2 sets once the Westlake Lib adjusted and the block set up to her right shoulder.

I expected her to try and hit line and tool the Opp block but she rarely did. The few times that she did do so she got a few kills.

One of the things that would concern me as a college coach is that Westlake served at her all night and she did not handle it well emotionally. Her SR was decent but on the occasions that she had a poor pass she would pout.

Same when she made an error. I found out from a parent that this is common with her and they had seen this behavior in club. Specially was told "it's easy to get in her head".

I had never heard of her before the game. She played well enough that I did notice who she is - but only bothered to look her up because her on court presence when getting beat was not....ideal.
