There are
always talented players that fall through the cracks, trust me I’ve been
looking at this since last century and if you watch as much basketball as I
watch, you know at every level, talent is everywhere and with Clear Falls
Destiny Navarro making her decision to play at St. Mary’s, after I tweeted it someone responded the
Rattlers were getting a steal and I agree because at 5’10 and being able to
shoot the ball the way she can, she’s a legitimate D1 player however after
tearing her ACL a couple of times, some schools backed off the GPR Under The
Radar player however she fought hard and came back both times
I saw Navarro
play at the Lady Phenoms unsigned event at San Jac a little over a month ago
and I asked her if she had any updated video, which she did, and after sending
this 80 plus second video out to various schools, she, her high school coach
and myself were bombarded with calls and emails, I personally received 35
emails the first three hours on how to get in contact with this young lady and
after a week over 200 programs were
interested in fact even though this all
started a month ago, I’m still getting
inquiries about her as of yesterday. The bottom line is she can flat out play
and like I’ve said over and over, I haven’t been wrong yet so I can’t wait to
see her at St. Mary’s but with all the offers on the table, I asked what sold
her on the program
“I chose St.
Mary’s because I felt like I could do great things there, on and off the court.
The academics are outstanding, the campus is beautiful, and the coaches
genuinely want to make every player a stronger basketball player and stronger
woman. I can really see myself doing big things at St. Mary’s and even after
St. Mary’s in the career path I choose.” She even gave me a S/O “Thanks again
Simmie! It's meant a lot to have you helping me out through the process!” but
in actuality I’m so proud of this young lady for coming back not once, but
twice showing how bad she really wanted it.
