2018 April events have #GPRUnderTheRadar stars shining all over

TATLOR THOMAS


Years ago before TEXAS and the surrounding states were getting the abundance of recognition that it is now, I was at EXPOSURE events looking at who was being promoted and I'm thinking, hmmmm, players are just as good in these parts and that all that happened next is another wild story but the main thing is that as usual, I was right and let me reiterate something else I'm right about. talented players are everywhere so don't get caught up in this or that, just know that odds are not on the majority f players side, you have to keep working and improve on your weaknesses so you can impress college coaches in order to play at the next level  so several GPR Under The radar players were on the road doing just that, impressing college coaches and here's a rundown 

GRACE SMITH 


The Classic In  Louisville

2019
Taylor Thomas-guard ( Texas Phenoms) created plenty of buzz with her explosiveness and ability to score multiple ways including the long ball. Virtually unknown, the beast has been unleashed as Thomas has always been able to put the ball in the basket but her ability to run the one was shown along with taking over a game when needed

Ta'Nya Gibson-guard (Texas Phenoms) speed is good and speed with the ball is better and when you have that as well as being under control, good things will happen. First step sets the stage to get by defenders for baskets or to pull-up for the midrange but she also has range and create her own shot under pressure

2021

Grace Smith-guard (Southeast Dynasty) reviewing everything, I was always impressed with her ability to score multiple and that's not going anywhere but defense was definitely on point as well as seeing the floor and getting teammates involved. If that wasn't enough, she did this playing up two years so the progression is showing and the future is bright

AIKEN SEMONES 


DEEP SOUTH

2021
Aiken Semones -guard (Cy Fair Premier) when you're in the 3rd grade and shoot the long ball the way she did, trust me that was something to see but she keeps putting in work and is doing well as a combo guard. Ball-handling under pressure and taking defenders off the dribble keep getting better as well as defense but long and midrange still clicking
