It’s amazing how I've watched some of these players
simply grow up right before my eyes and the first time I saw Brooke Jolivette
was in a 9th grade tournament simply going off and although I could see that
she looked young remember asking her what high school she would be attending
and her response was, I’m only in the 6th grade and there you have it, the
foundation was laid. Brooke has progressed so much and her game has expanded to
where I don’t even think she realizes how good she is at times but when you can
take players at will at times or step back and drop the long one, she’s hard to
contain which had me tweeting “Don’t get shook by Brooke” because that
hesitation does wonders
The Kingwood star is one of the pieces that helped
turn that HS program back around, Kingwood was “one of the teams” consistently
in the mix when I started paying attention to girls’ basketball and they have
an outside chance at making a deep run this season however the run Jolivette
has made over the club season simply had offers pouring in left and right and
last week she committed to the University of North Texas. I asked Brooke what
made her choose the Mean Green and she responded “The coaches and the players
where really friendly and it just felt comfortable playing when I went to the
camp.” I’ll close with the knowledge of
knowing this has certainly been a pleasure for me to watch her progression but
there’s even more coming so here’s one coming for you “Don’t bet against
Jolivette”
