K5 Elite #SimmieColsonClassic 6th Grade Division

 

I can always count on getting a heads-up from Omar Sneed about up-and-coming talent from around the Beaumont area. Sneed is a former professional basketball player and now a D1 college coach so he and I go way back and before you say how far? 


How about 2018 when I first saw his daughter Kendall Sneed and  I dropped that #D1Lock on her shortly after, I keep receipts, she's playing for Tulane but not just playing, she was named Freshman Of The Year in her conference

Omar gave me a heads up about K5, Kendall's team and I've already dropped a couple of players from the 2031 class Terraji Johnson and Abblynn Balderas on Prep Girls Hoops as they're already on my 2031 Watchlist but how about some others from that class. Kassidy Sumbler, Elizabeth Amlalo, and Grayson Cooper are all athletic guards who applied "on the ball" heat and showed they could score off the dribble but a couple of 2030's will be on the PGH Watchlist for their class

Kimora West, pictured above, is not only tall but "long and athletic" which is the base. Her timing was nice, she dove on the floor for loose balls but watching her go AFTA everything off the rim and play the passing lane was enough. Then she showed she could score around the basket as well as off the dribble


Jordan Joubert is close to having that #D1Lock dropped on her, peep this, she's vocal on the court, something many guards heading to college don't do, and watching her direct traffic blew me away. Her BB-IQ is off the chart, she saw the floor through a microscope but alas, she's a long and athletic guard and that too is the base. She has the HEZ, the STUTTA, and a variety of other moves to get to the rim but those BIG GIRL PASSES JUST DID IT FOR ME
