The Chicago (IL) Whitney Young High School point guard is ranked 56th in the class of 2020 by ESPN's HoopGurlz.

A&M head coach Gary Blair scored early points with Green by being the first head coach to see her play in person, and the relationship grew from there.

It also helped that associate head coach Kelly Bond-White played at Whitney Young for legendary coach Arthur Penny, and former A&M center Khaalia Hillsman, a four-year starter who now plays overseas, also is from Whitney Young.

"Every call I've gotten from Coach Blair and Coach Bond has been genuine," Young said. "And when I came to Texas A&M, they really treated me like family. The campus was awesome, and they care about academics, so that's mainly why I chose A&M."

"Kayla Green is used to the spotlight," prepgirlshoops.com's Jacob Wohlwend said. "The dynamic point guard is everything you could want in a floor general. Her ability to slip past her defender and make plays in the lane or step outside and knock down shots help her to be one of the top seniors in the state."
