Wall to wall coaches were lined up to see MDAA candidates Courtney Williams and Brianna Butler teams go against each other in a Mardi Gras game featuring Houston Elite and NY Exodus.Williams and Butler are both Top 100 players, both on most Top 20 lists and both on GPR's Top 10.
It's always good for players to seize the opportunity of being in the right place at the right time and no one has seized it better over the last few games than Raven Burns who scored 10 of Houston Elite's 17 first half points. I saw Burns play against Tiffany Davis when both were still in middle school and each had close to 30, so I sort of had a jump on knowing they would be two of the "players" in the area before it was over and of course I was correct. Burns has always been known as a three point specialist however she's added things missing to her game and is a legitimate college prospect.
I saw Bianca Cuevas of the Exodus in the Big State Flava Jam drop a floater from the free throw line as I walked into the gym. As I watched her handle the ball with such confidence and flair, I liked her a lot as a 2012 prospect. After finding out she's a 2014, I love her game because she has several things you just can't teach.
