Mya Hollingshed is the last player who ever expected to have a standing green light to fire away from 3-point range.

At 6-foot-4, Hollingshed far and away was the biggest player at Bellaire High School in Houston, and while she always was confident in her touch from outside, patrolling the paint was her primary job as a youngster.

That changed last year as a freshman at Colorado, as Hollingshed made an immediate impact as a surprisingly reliable 3-point shooter. With the Buffaloes continuing preseason workouts, Hollingshed is part of a sophomore class that hopes to turn last year's experience into better results this season in the program's third season under coach JR Payne.
