UNSIGNED Cheyanne Bonilla closes out Katy Classic with 38
In this day and age of Social Media nonsense countless Tweets with biased evaluations, sped-up videos on The Gram and YouTube and the numerous people going live, there is no wonder why and how some college coaches are misled on talent but there is saying that I've been using for over a decade"it's not what you do, it's who you do it against" and let me simplify that. Scoring 30 or more against players that aren't going to play at the next level doesn't equate to the ones dropping 10 or 15 against those that are but there are always exceptions to the rule
The first time I caught Cheyanne Bonilla was with a team from New Mexico and she was simply on fire against a star-studded team so right then I knew she could play college ball. I've seen her numerous times in different settings and one thing that's consistent is she plays the same way, no matter if the squad is up or down 20 which shows her consistency and she's always ready to "take the shot" during pressure and if you had a chance to catch her at the Katy Classic you'd see that if you didn't, I dropped some clips on the Gram
She opened up the tournament with 27 against Cedar Ridge, their starting 5 will play at the next level, so I'm setting the stage. She put up numbers throughout the event including 21 in game 2 and 38 in the Consolation Championship game which included 6 three-pointers. There's no question she can shoot from distance or find ways to score and her effort was something to see
