DFW Big State Flava Jam Day 1


One thing I enjoy more than anything else is to not be disappointed and if tomorrow is anything like today was, I'll be able to fly to San Antonio without a plane. DFW Elite has had several upper echelon clubs and players over the years and nothing has changed as they have expanded to Houston and Oklahoma but the top squad has and will continue to be T-Jack, led by Connecticut commit Moriah Jefferson, pictured center. If you don't know who Jefferson is, you either don't follow GBB or just awoke from some weird Rip Van Winkle type sleep-a-thon, however she is one of the top three players in the country on everyone's list.


Expect Houston's own Brianna Turner to be one of DFW's next huge stars, like Jefferson she is one, two or three in the class of 2014 and the sky is definitely the limit for this young lady.


Also on the rise is a kid I told you about a couple of years ago, Teaira McCowan, aka Big Tee. Heading to high school, this 6'5 sensation has a college body right now and her steady improvement shows she continues to work at her flaws and will be a big time player before it's all said and done.


Rachel Holivay and Erica Young are all smiles because Essence came all the way from Florida and continues to entertain and excite you every step of the way, just as this tournament has done so far. Heavy hitters Exodus from New York and West Coast Premier are on hand and I'll be bringing more info to you over the next few days about the teams and players that showed the most "Flava"
