In what seems like an eternity ago, I recall speaking with former DFW-Washington Coach George Washington about a middle school phenom from the Bahamas that was heading to Houston that was unbelievable. The first time I saw her play, she had arrived from the airport less than an hour earlier to participate in a camp, and although she was dominant, the signs were there.
The signs were in full view during the club season last year as she showed that she was one of, if not the best player on the floor each time she stepped on it and this translated to just saying she's a Top 100 player isn't enough.
Earlier today and 10 years to day Nekia Jones, Higgs teammate from TexasPreps Elite, made her announcement she would be atttending the University of Texas, Higgs follows suit according to Texas Preps Elite head coach Ben Perkins.
Higgs will make her presence known for the Longhorns as soon as she steps on the floor, of course that's a few years away. Ironically I did a story on Tuesday about another player who was an unknown star , Carla Cortigo from Puerto Rico, and took the city by storm before heading to Texas as well.
Higgs has a legitimate shot at being a MDAA among other things before she suits up in Austin and the amazing part about the picture is she's actuially the one that's usually the blur on the floor
