More Babies Are Coming #TJShowcase


 I saw quite a few "stars of the future" who have not played a game in high school from the #TJShowcase and I dropped a  few already on  Prep Girls Hoops. Well, there was even more, here ya go

Kamira Runnels-5'5 (Fort Worth Lady Hornets) 2028- is an athletic guard who applies heat on both ends. Her on-the-ball defense was solid, and she also did a good job attacking the basket off the dribble to score

Kathy Odokopira-5'1 (Fort Worth Lady Hornets) 2030- her upside is high and so is her BB-IQ as she showed she could control the temp and see the floor but she's a "long and athletic" guard which is also the base. She falls into that #sizedontmatter group and it doesn't because she dropped the jumper, including the "catch and shoot" from deep

Andrea McGriff-5'9 (Fort Worth Lady Hornets) 2028-is "long and athletic" Yep, the base but she's also strong and powerful, and seeing her elevate to score, see above picture, or go AFTA everything off the rim was refreshing but she also scored off the dribble, played solid defense and played the passing lane 


Ja'siah McIntyre-5'5 (SA Lady Hoops Diamond) 2029- handled the ball well under pressure and her showing the crossover both in the set as well as in transition was nice. She scored off the dribble and saw the floor

Tayza Peavy-5'8  (SA Lady Hoops Diamond) 2029- is "long and athletic" with some scary upside and seeing her rebound and go coast to coast to score or dish was nice. She scored around the basket, putbacks included, off the dribble and after contact plus she played the passing lane and played solid defense 

Heaven McDonald Lyles-5'9  (SA Lady Hoops Diamond) 2028- is also "long and athletic" and the heat she applied defensively, in the halfcourt, as well as baseline to baseline, was impressive but she also played the passing lane and handled the ball afterward. She's strong and attacked the basket off the dribble and finished after contact



Maya Clark-5'4  (SA Lady Hoops Diamond) 2030- is a "long and athletic" guard who sets the defender up nicely to attack the basket. Her FLOATA off the dribble was smooth, she also showed the pull-up jumper and saw the floor. Her defense was also solid and she played the passing lane

Kayleene Sanchez-5'6  (SA Lady Hoops Diamond) 2029- is an athletic guard who uses her athleticism on both ends starting with "on the ball" heat coupled with quick hands to help create turnovers. She also used a deceptive first step to attack the basket off the dribble

#11  (SA Lady Hoops Diamond) is also an athletic guard who did a good job creating her shot under pressure and dropping the midrange while being defended. She also played the passing lane
