Courtney Williams is somewhere around the Top 10 on everyone lists. She is one of the best players in the country and a five star athlete. I have her a little higher on my list but I am a little biased because I've watched her play over 100 times and seen her grow. Houston's 2012 class is loaded with next level players, Curtyce Knox and Jessica Palmer are on many Top 100 reports, and 2012 may mirror the 2005 class when over 70 young ladies went on to play college basketball.
To make it to the next level isn't easy
- Approximately three in 100, or 3.5 percent of high school senior girls interscholastic basketball players will go on to play women's basketball at a NCAA member institution.
- Less than one in 100, or approximately 0.9 percent of NCAA female senior basketball players will get drafted by a Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) team.
- One in 5,000, or approximately 0.03 percent of high school senior girls playing interscholastic basketball will eventually be drafted by a WNBA team.
The main thing is to go out and play hard and not worry about where you're ranked or what awards you don't receive and here's a perfect example. In the 2007 class, out of the 24 players selectted as McDonald All Americans, 10 were drafted into the WNBA and 8 made teams, or 33% of the ones initially selected MDAA's. Some kids still have eligibility due to transferring or being injured however the main thing is to not worry about this stuff because the goal should be not only to receive a scholarship but to graduate from college.
