Young stars shine at #TXEEVAL


Part one of the TXEEVAL featured the youngsters who haven't yet reached middle school but all showed poise and promise on being listed with thee stars of tomorrow. One thing I always observe from the younger players is how attentive they are as well as how they are able to implement what's being taught on the floor. Kyndall Hunter and R'Mani Taylor are light years ahead of themselves and have two things going for them, speed and comprehension, well they have more than that but when you combine what else they can do, let's just say their mailboxes will stay full throughout the recruiting process

Rebecca Altiano was a pleasant surprise, she's poised and can handle the ball as well as knock shots down. She's shown here battling with Jamie Tatum who's strong and has size, good hands and footwork plus upside. Both have inside moves which enable them to get  there plus they finished

Zania Lambert and Alana Ervin are shown battling in the above photo but battled throughout the session, in fact Ervin stayed for round 2 and was even more impressive. Lambert is strong, can finish and defend and what I like about Ervin is the fact that she can not only step out and hit shots but put it on the floor under pressure


Super S/O to Semaje Harris, she's a young lady I've seen a few times, didn't know her name but I remembered once she stepped on the court and even though she competed with a broken finger, she has elevated her game since I saw her last and was knocking down shots with ease
