2027 Kennedy Price showing the Price is still right

Kennedy Price was one of the talented young players I was looking forward to catching at my Next Up 50 Individual Showcase a few weeks ago however she had a conflict and couldn't attend. I had been so impressed with her videos that I had to catch her live and I finally had a chance to see her in person. Let me back things, her dad, Carlos Price is one of my dearest friends, I met him over a decade ago when his older daughter Lauren was starring at Atascocita and since Kennedy only turned 10 years old a few weeks ago, yes she could have fallen into the 2028 group, I actually knew her before she was born

Kennedy impressed me off the top when I walked up and saw her going through some drills with another friend, Chuck McCowan who has coached, worked out, and trained a list of Who's Who from the area and the younger Price was absorbing everything he was telling her. Her ballhandling at this stage, her passing, she's throwing the no-look on the money and she's creating her shot so to the novice, what I'm seeing are things I look for in players, the way she does things instinctively, the way she reacts and she's long and athletic, I speak of that often 


With all of the energy, she puts out, I'm envisioning her on the defensive end, and just watching her mannerisms I'm certain she'll be playing that passing lane and going coast to coast but again, she just turned 10 however what I'm seeing now, I'll be using what I said about her older sister, with a remix,  The Price Is Still Right!
