Katy Rebels Tolbert #ShowcaseClassic16

I've been watching GPR UNder The Radar Tia Tolbert for quite some time, let's see, she a 2018 and I've been seeing her since before middle school, well I think I may need to use some of that common core to get the exact date but then again it doesn't matter because I've seen progression every time I watched her play and whatever I thought was lacking, she has worked on it and one of those thing was being aggressive on both ends, well she's in July form and we'll revisit her on the Tip Sheet

Her backcourt mate Kierra Flowers has always been fun to watch, this kid has played after breaking her finger and most recently getting cut on a play but she just smiles and drops numbers. Overly impressed with the work ethic Alana Ervin and Mariel Wade, who simply loves to bang in the paint and can shoot it, while Ervin can stretch the defense with the long range, same can be said for Alana Ervin

BIG S/O to Under The Radar Sydney West, she definitely is showing me she has the tools to play at the next level because one of the things you need is a great work ethic, the second, be coachable and comprehend what you are hear is in there as well but with you combine that with her skill set, I've been watching her for three years and I know she's been working, she's going to get this done, trust me. Kristin Pottter  did some big things on both ends, love players that find ways to score and she did just that as well as she wouldn't back down

Runnin Rebels close out #ShowcaseClassic16

I hadn't seen GPR Under The Radar Amanda Figuroa all season so I definitely had to catch up on the multi talented 2017 guard for the Runnin Rebels. Her BB-IQ and ability to score has always been something I loved about her game but her maturity and physicality on both ends has blossomed. When you play smart, defend and can stop and pop, colleges definitely take notice at various levels and this young lady is about to be blown up

Veronica Behr continues to elevate her game and with her size and wingspan, she's definitely creating some problems on both ends of the floor but what I like even more is that she's facing the basket scoring as well. Lauren Burrow and Sidney Groves made some huge plays throughout the event while Mallory Jenkins continues to add more to her game

2019 Nariya Riley has been putting in some work, she's one of the most improved players I've noticed over the past year, from club ball to club ball and with her size, strength and athleticism, her ticket is in her pocket. I truly enjoyed watching 2018 Jayln Johnson and with the initials of JJ fitting her perfectly because I truly had some Good Times watching this athletic young lady score and defend and she made the TIP SHEET

I also got a chance to see Melissa Rodriguez who along with Taylor Hunter gave me some thrills over the years as they put up huge numbers with the Rebels. Can Rodriguez score, well let me put it to you like this, I've seen many players drop right around 10 threes in a game, but she's one of a handful I've witnessed personally, that means I SAW THIS, drop 8 in a row in both HS and club ball and that ain't know urban legend but Rodriguez will be taking that on the road to Mary Hardin-Baylor and trust me, I'll be reporting on her accomplishments

Lady Jags close out #ShowcaseClassic16

The BBA Lady Jags put up a good fight during the Showcase Classic  2016 even without their leading scorer Alize Washington who will be on the Tip Sheet coming up on the girlzprepreport.com website later this week, or maybe tonight, who knows. Washington and Mary Monciaviz definitely caught my eye when I glanced at the squad but as I finished the event observing the squad I saw even more

TIP SHEET

Felicity Boutte and India Thomas bring heat from the backcourt while Jessica Guerra provided several highlights gliding through the air for baskets. Jeci  Martinez and Kaylynn Campos as well as Marissa Herrera and Aliyah Vaeza filled in many blanks for the team

Remember pay attention to the website listed above as well as Instagram and Twitter, Facebook account is full until I delete people who tag me in nonsense and you will get a glimpse, well mini glimpse on the action packed event Showcase pulled off. Oh yeah, mini stories will be right here and remember if you miss something either her or on the website, utilize the search bars listed at the top

Ireneshia Johnson goes completely off #ShowcaseClassic16

Ireneshia and her dad

Several players have shown me they have the "IT" factor the initial time I saw them play and Ireneshia Johnson is definitely one of them. The talented 2017 is probably one of the best players in the state that you haven't heard of so with that being said she's also one of the best kept secrets however this is what I love about her game, she's not like those people on the Direct TV commercials, The Settlers because she was a D1 lock just by dominating in the paint however the Bellaire HS star is dropping the three effortlessly, playing the passing lane and just showing that she can play multiple positions at the next level. Right now the Houston Hoops star gets the star of day one award, I just thought that up, there were many stars at the Showcase Classic and you can check them out via TWITTER, INSTAGRAM, here and girlzprepreport.com I would say on Facebook too but it seems like I can't accept anymore until I delete some and with that being said, let's close with this video and remember IRENESHIA JOHNSON is a BEAST

Showcase Classic June 25-26 @Scarborough HS

Well the best way to be seen by me is to be where I am and I'll get a chance to see some fresh new faces as I'm dating my scouting service after each tournament. 2017 Amanda Figueroa (Runnin Rebels) and 2018 Tia Tolbert ( Katy Rebels Tolbert) are a couple of GPR Under The Radar players I'll be seeing for the first time this season but what better time than right before they take their shows on the road for the viewing period

Hearing a lot of buzz about Hitchcock Select, I'm eager to see as well as a host of other teams and always remember, I cover an event like a blanket, providing I have what I need and that's usually paper, pen and a COMPLETE ROSTER. Games start at 8am or my name ain't SIM


SCHEDULE

HBU Camp today !!!!!

Wow two of the top 2021 players in the state, Jada Malone and Rory Harmon, scoring machines Lauren Small and Samantha Simmons, versatile do anything scorer Micayla Weber and 2020 is crystal clear, no glasses or TSO check-up needed as the electrifying Jaedyn Dunn is also in the house. These are only a few names I'll be checking out on day two @ HBU but it doesn't stop there

Playoffs and championships are today as well as award presentations and one of my representatives, ME, will be on hand for the exciting closing of the camp, starts at 9am folks

ASA @PrimeTimeSportz #SWRegional

You have to realize I'm a very complex guy and when you throw in nostalgic as well as sentimental, well it kind of tears me up as I watch many of these kids grow up right before my eyes. ASA , formerly TWELVE , has some players I met while my daughter played at Texas A&M and I'll never forget almost 10 years ago seeing Precious and Treece Daily, who are heading to the 9th and 10th grades respectively, wait a minute, man I am old, but you get the picture.

Darby Hurley, Sailor Smith and Lauren Peters have all shown they could shoot the ball while Treece Daily just brings so much energy on both ends and can score multiple ways. Love the way Hurley has added even more to her offensive repertoire as she did a good job of not only creating her shot but attacking the basket but let me say this, I see improvement in all of the young ladies I've watched over the years from this organization

Kaylea Walker was a bright spot as she and Zaria Richards kept things going smoothly . Jocelyn Young and Shakira Rayford also brought plenty of heat baseline to baseline and LaTayvia Byrd just soars over opponents. She's a battler on the boards and can finish but battling and finishing doesn't stop there as Shakayla Burns makes the Prime Time SW Regional Tip Sheet

Lake City impressive @PrimeTimeSportz #SWRegional

Coach told me his girls asked him what they had to do to get on website and he told them win!!!!!
Well that's all good but the key is to play in front of me, have a roster and show me on the court what you can do, I really don't care about who wins or loses these games anymore, trust me I used to but I'm looking for next level talent as I continue to be a liaison between HS and college for many

Did Lake City bring some heat, well they certainly had better since no boudin or cracklin was given to me and when you cross that state line and have me a care package, that also will get you some pub. I definitely enjoyed watching this team play, I love teams that battle and play hard baseline to baseline the whole game no matter what.  Kristen Broxton is one of three 2021 players on this 2020 squad and she and Anlyanna Brooks definitely showed they could bring heat

Brooklyn Cousin finished strong and defended well while Maggie Bruchhaus and Summer Caesar used their size and body quite well for their ages but the upside, not only from these three, but the whole team sort of tells me I need to keep watching them. Jada Gasaway is just bursting with energy and athleticism while Ariyon Artis can attack and shoot the long ball, plus play the passing lanes.

Artis and Destiny Peltier are the other '21's on the squad, Peltier runs the one with precision and can score off the dribble while doing a good job creating for both her and her teammates. What else can Artis do? Well make the Prime Time SW Regional Tip Sheet
