Houston United head coach and director Chuck McCowan has coached some of the top players from the social media era that have gone on to not only play at the next level but the highest of the next level and before I forget to make it about me, almost 10 years ago was my first article about his squads, notice I said a young Di Di Richards had Top 100 written all over her, she won a National Championship at Baylor and plays in the WNBA #thereisnome
Another of the "true developers" over the years, McCowan has a nice pipeline working as I caught the younger squads here and here so as I stay on the lookout and see their progression on the court over the next few years, let me drop this 2025 squad
Renata Martinez (Cy Springs) stands at "the magic number" which is 6'0, she understands how to create her shot under pressure and drop it, also attacks off the dribble, nice upside
Susan Maring (Cy Springs) 6'1 is 73 inches and with my area code being 713, she is definitely one to be monitoring because she has nice hands and footwork, plenty of upside
Tiana Harden-5'11 (Cy Creek) long and athletic is the base and with her being active on the defensive end, that's a great foundation
Jaslyn Ford (Cy Springs) is 6'2 and strong, that's an understatement as she rebounded on both ends and scored on putbacks, with players literally hanging on her
Isabelle Jordan (Cy Springs) uses her athleticism nicely, did a good job defending as well as rebounding, on both ends. scored around the rim
Macie Aranda (Tomball Memorial) good rebounder and defender
London Columbus (Jersey Village) plays within herself, nice court vision
Kendall Kyle (St Agnes) looking at her height, I'm even more impressed with writing UPS and at 5'7 she elevated over taller players to grab rebounds
Keeping an eye on
Emery Haralson (Cy Springs)
Andrea Pleasante (Cy Park)
