UGONMA OBANNYA |
Prime Time Nationals, TX-Day two observations from Prime
Time Nationals had Girlz Prep Report correspondent Jim Johnson pretty excited
as the talent kept coming which falls in line with what I always say, “talent
is everywhere” and as he touches on several players who have the ability to
play at the next level, I’m also seeing names of players that I already know
are going to blow up. Remember there is no magic pill; the main thing is to put
in the work because no one can make you a basketball player
2016
Ugonma Obannya (Elevation Skills Houston)At 6'2 and a wing
span that makes her even longer, all I can say is you’re going to like!!!! Has soft hands and natural athletic
ability. As she learns the game and
improves her skill she will become a go to player in the post. Already good
footwork and squares up to the basket the shots will soon start to fall. I look
for big things her senior year
KELLIE OEHMLER |
2017
Kellie Oehmler (Lady Ice) don’t turn your back on this young
lady, she’s a solid player that can operate from both the 3 and 4. She can
defend, good rebounder at both ends and can create her own opportunities to
score and I’m talking about a can catch and shoot scorer
Jasmine Atobajeun (Dynasty Johnson) 6'2 and long, she has
good moves and a feel for the game. The product isn’t finished and would be
considered raw in many areas, but to be tall and athletic is a good head start
and she continues to make jumps
McKale Grant (Truth Black Celina) was one of the best 2017's
of the tournament. Outside, inside, post-up; a true scorer that doesn't force
it, but takes what she's given. Smart
and looks for the open teammate. Runs the break or fills the lane. Smart
defender and excellent help defender. Good ball handler to boot. Line up now coaches
DeANDREA ALEXANDER |
2018
DeAndrea Alexander (Lady KOE Arcadia, La) 6'2 and raw in
some areas, she has plenty of upside, but the desire and ability is there
now. Still learning the skills of being
a post, this young lady will catch a lot of attention as she grows and
develops. Good instincts are always a plus simply because that’s something you
can’t teach
TAYLOR JONES |
2019
Taylor Jones (DNice Basketball) Listed at 6'1 but I think
she’s 6'3 and when you keep in mind that she just finished the 8th grade her
upside is through the roof. Needs to work on footwork and keeping the ball high
after rebounding and playing up will only help. Added strength and weight will
make her a force to be reckoned with. I think she will reach 6'5
