GPR Rising Star Watch List


The Class of 2014 is solid and with so many kids from the area and across Texas, it will be interesting how everything comes together in a couple of years. The trio listed above, Cienna Rivera, Brianna Turner and Mckinzie Calvert, who verablled to Baylor as an 8th grader, all have bright futures ahead of them over the next three seasons

Brooke"The Chosen One" McCarty was tabbed by me as a can't miss when she was 9 years old and I haven't been disappointed, but even more importantly, I was correct as usual

Another young lady I knew was legit at an early age is Recee Caldwell, who along with Calvert, are two of San Antonio's top players, right now! All 5 players have a good chance to be on someones Top 100 team.


Olivia Ogwumike has to endure the comparisons made between her and her older sisters, Nneka and Chiney, which isn't fair because she isn't either one, but neither is anyone else. Olivia has continued to progress and the thing that stands out is she has Nneka's hands and if the progression continues, she has a legitimate shot at being a Top 100 player.


I've had my eye on this young lady for a while and at times she has looked brilliant. Sydney Coleman, the name itself has a certain ring to it and the game, well being athletic and tall is definitely something to work with
