Fleary has become a priority recruit for the LSU Tigers. She's a crafty guard that thrives at going downhill with the ability to finish inside. The piece that will intrigues LSU is the way Fleary can create for others.

The five-star guard has the North Carolina Tar Heels firmly in the mix with the LSU Tigers set to battle the blue-blood program down the stretch.

247Sports' Evaluation: "I watched Autumn Fleary of Team Takeover compete at an elite level during the USA Basketball U17 trials. Her performance in Chicago at Nike Nationals was just as impressive as it was in Colorado Springs.

"Fleary consistently excels at getting downhill and creating opportunities for the multiple high-level players on Takeover's roster. She plays with pace and creativity, making it difficult for opposing defenses to prevent her from executing her moves off the dribble.

"On the defensive end, Fleary is more than willing to lead the press and create chaos for the other team in the process."
