2029 Standouts -PassThaBall #NXTUpDallas

 

Plenty of new faces in this group as well and let me dub this group the Fab 4. I really enjoyed what they not only brought to the table but what they also didn't leave on the table 

Finley Hein (True Texas Hoops) is a long and athletic guard that does a good job of not only creating her shot but getting it off while being defended, this includes with a hand in her face. She has a deceptive first step which allows her to attack the basket from multiple angles and she sees the floor

Alexa Bibb (Drive Nation) already gets IT as far as running a team and she understands how to set her teammates up for gimmes. She attacks off the dribble and has nice body control, yet in the open court, her change of pace is special. Let me also add she has a nice pull-up jumper, in the set and in transition

Nicole Jones (Arkansas Bears) was one of many players that crossed state lines to show what they had and immediately her handling of the ball showing both the crossover and the HEZ stood out. She attacks with ease, and nice body control and she creates her shot under pressure and drops it from outside

Gracie Ross (TBI Ballstars) was one of the most athletic players at the camp and watching her rebound on one end and go coast to coast a few times to either finish or dish JUST DID IT for me. What she also did was understand how to "create contact" which will be HUGE throughout her career and when you add she has UPS, is explosive off the dribble, and body control, the upside is scary 

2030 Standouts -PassThaBall #NXTUpDallas

 

This young group of players is loaded with 2 things, upside, and next-level potential. I loved the skillset yet just as important, I enjoyed how they "thought things through" on their own. That is one of those small things that turn into HUGE things because you can't properly play the game if you don't comprehend it, well more times than not so here are the Super 6 from the 2030 class, #WatchOutForTheBabies

Jordynn Harris (Hoop Society)  left me speechless when the bright lights came on. Her explosiveness off the dribble is ahead of her years but her athleticism on both ends definitely stood out during the 1 on 1 drill. She understands how to defend "on the ball" but she also showed good timing to block shots. Her crossover in both settings showed me even more

Kyleigh Williamson is one of those "never takes a play-off" types of player and her high energy on both ends had me going. She understands how to defend, force players into traps, and used her quick hands to come away with steals, she also read the court and played the passing lane. On top of that, she already understands how to create her shot and got to the rim with ease

Kyndal Lyn had me pumped before the event even started as I've been catching her and her sister doing damage via the internet for quite some time. I had a chance to see them live at Prime Time Nationals yet Kynda has taken it to another level. Her first step is going to be an issue because her athleticism coupled with her body control is very nice but so is that pull-up jumper 

Peini Jiang (Hoop Society) is definitely on to something because of her change of pace, COP, which will make defenders call the law, pun intended. Her crossover is also nice, and she does both in transition as well as in the set. She also understands how to do something many guards going to college don't and that's how to create contact and when you add that she finishes after the lick ...

Trinity Boyd (DC Queens) falls into a category I've hashtagged quite a bit over the years and that's #sizedontmatter which was amended to also add when you can play and she can definitely bring the heat on both ends. She's fearless, and does a good job defending both "in the set" as well as "baseline to baseline". She also creates her shot, her deceptive first step get the defender off balance and she finishes

Chloe Davis (Pro Skills) is a player I love to irritate, this time I told her that her name rhymes with SHOWIE so I want to see a show. I'm running out of clever things to say yet her ballhandling is HYPNOTIZING and with her variety of spins, stepbacks, and of course, the HEZ, she is going to be a "nightmare to defend" because she scores off the dribble, at times acrobatically and can drop the mid to long-range, yeah I already dropped #D1Lock a while back

2022 Pass Tha Ball #NXTUpDallas Hits It Again

 I always enjoy covering Pass Tha Ball events, starting with the first major event back in 2013 called the Hoop A Holics and if you can remember to use the search bar on here as well as on my website, there's a vast amount of information that you probably didn't know existed 

I love catching new faces as well as the progression of others, primarily so I can say "I told you so" without copying anyone because that is definitely BS, pun intended, I COPY no one, but that's another story, and trust me, I have plenty of tales like being confronted at the first camp about "not getting permission" to come to Dallas and do this

Let me give a special S/O to Charles Stoker for running the 1 on 1 station accurately and efficiently as it gave me an opportunity to see players performing what I love to see, making decisions on their own so the talent from the event was just overwhelming, to say the least 

I'm going to start off with the 2030 group right here and that group includes a young lady, Chloe Davis, I've already dropped #D1Lock on, yet the talented group I'll title, The Babies, left me speechless at times

The 2027-2029 group will be on my website, in fact, I'll even drop something on the Top Performers on Prep Girls Hoops Texas so stay tuned but even more important to players, stay ready because you never know who's watching 

Southern Metroplex Athletics Brought Heat #PBRNJI

I had a chance to get a very good look at some Southern Metroplex Athletics teams over the past few weeks. The Varsity story gets dropped right here after their Neville Jones Invitational showing and one more time, talent is definitely everywhere 

Jashalyn Hatton-5'10 SF (Frankston) |2023| is long and athletic, I call that the base because that's one of my favorite profiles to evaluate, same for college coaches. She rebounds strongly on both ends, she attacks and finishes strongly and she plays the passing lane yet she also shows good timing to block shots

Diamond Stewart-5'5 SG (Lancaster) |2024| energy galore be it "on the ball" defense or simply diving for loose balls on the floor, she gets after it. On top of that, she plays within herself, doesn't force shots, and showed she could score off the dribble

Maria Ferguson-5'1 SG (Desoto) |2023|she showed she could create her shot under pressure on both days and the jumper was effective. That enabled her to attack the rim from multiple angles but I was just as impressed with the effort she showed on defense

Haven Verrett-5'8 SF/PF (Kennedale) |2024|long and athletic is still the base and she covered many by first of all attacking strongly off the dribble and finishing after contact yet she also outrebounded taller players, she has UPS and watching her elevate JUST DID IT for me

Kyra Jackson-5'9 SG (Mineola) |2025| her ability to play "on the ball" defense baseline to baseline is huge, yet what's huger is her enjoying doing it. She understands how to set the defender up to get trapped, she has nice hands and came away with steals and she has good upside

Wila Davis-5'4 PG (Frankston) |2025| heady point guard that understands how to not only run a team but also "control the tempo" and in the set. she did a good job directing traffic, plus she was vocal on the court yet in transition, she saw the floor very well

Desirae Hatton-5'7 SG (Frankston) |2025| she's long and athletic, see above, both the picture and my calling it "the base" and what she adds is THAT JUMPER for one. She drops shots with a hand in her face, she also has a nice first step to attack the basket and she plays the passing lane

Aaliyah Rose-5'5 PG (Lincoln) |2023|not only can she take the defender off the dribble with either hand. the first step is hard to handle, she also finishes strongly using good body control and does it after contact. She also can shoot it, mid to long range

Honorable Mention 

Jayla Jackson-5'9 SG (Mineolaa) |2025|

Destiny Drake-5'6 SF (Kennedale) |2024|

Isyss Collins-5'4 SG (WW Samuel) |2025|

Sharielle Johnson-5'4 SF (Seguin) |2023|

Aubrey Kincade-5'6 SF (Neches) |2025|

Ramsey Ferguson-5'3 SG (Desoto) |2024|

 

2022 Prime Time Nationals 5th Grade Tip Sheet

 

Krush Queens 2029 Pink defeated Victory Elite for the CHAMPIONSHIP while Reign 2029 finished in 3rd place and I caught bits and pieces of those teams yet no pictures. Nevertheless, I saw enough to give you a Tip Sheet on some of the top players from the event 

Avante Hicks (DC Queens Waco 2029) long and athletic is the base, you will see me writing and saying that a lot because I love being repetitive as many never get it but she definitely GETS IT and gets after it. She scores off the dribble with ease and she can drop the long ball, plus she plays the passing lane

Sa'Niya Douglas (Krush Queens 2029 Green) is long and athletic, she scored off the dribble and understood how to set the defender up by creating her shot. That also enabled her to show the jumper and she too played the passing lane

Gabby Archer (Victory Elite) scored well both off the dribble and the pull-up jumper yet her court vision was really good also. She handled the ball under pressure, that's always a plus and she, you guessed it, played the passing lane

Imerii Ingram (BST Academy) I hashtag #sizedontmatter a lot because it doesn't when you can play and she can definitely play. She uses her athleticism well on both ends, scores off the dribble, and even showed the FLOTA and can drop the long ball but her ball-handling and court vision under pressure was solid

Preslee Romero (Reign 2029) understood something very valuable, especially at this stage and that's how to get hers "in the flow". She also did something else I love seeing and that's "played within herself" but her solid defense and scoring off the dribble were nice

Londyn Ramsey (Pro Skills 2029 Nationals) is long and athletic, yep, I love that profile but more importantly, so do college coaches so what are her intangibles? Plays the passing lane, scored off the dribble, and went after rebounds on both ends

Aurianna Walter (Krush Queens Pink 2029) heady basketball player that JUST DID IT for me years ago when I caught her at Cynthia Guillory's event. My friend is no longer with us but this organization has talent throughout and Re Re just goes at you. She showed the pull-up and scored off the dribble but her "on the ball" defense helped create turnovers 

Amiyah Cheatham (Krush Queens Pink 2029) size does matter when you can play and with her frame and agility right now, well her strength as well, her upside is very nice. She rebounded on both ends, ran the floor and showed she could finish 

2022 Prime Time Nationals 4th Grade Tip Sheet

 

I always get a kick out of watching the younger players get after it, the score never matters to me because I'm a REAL evaluator that understands the small things that turn out to be big, also the #sizedontmatter players that can play but the abundance of talent on this PLATFORM that will be household names had me beaming as well as those who already showing signs so here are some of my standouts from the teams I caught in the 4th Grade Division, won by Wet Texas Canes 2030

Ashten Childs (West Texas Canes 2030) long and athletic is the base, always and always will but she's already adding intangibles like playing the passing lane and going after everything off the rim. Her floater is nice and she has good timing to block shots

Makayla Jefferson (West Texas Canes 2030) is one of those #sizedontmatter guards that JUST DID IT for me. She scores both off the dribble and using the pull-up jumper but watching her "on the ball" defense as well as playing the passing lane was more than solid

Bhrecklyn Robertson (WestTexas Canes 2030) also played the passing lane and used her athleticism well on both ends, defending baseline to baseline or attacking the basket powerfully

Adelina Kennard  (West Texas Canes 2030) showed she could create her shot under pressure to either attack the rim and finish with contact or shoot the jumper 

Ariana Medlock (True Texas Hoops 2030 National) scary upside for this young lady as she already has the frame to damage in the paint but watching her rebound and go coast to coast to finish was very impressive, and so was her rebounding on both ends

Aaliyah Spencer (True Texas Hoops 2030 National) her court vision alone sold me and playing under control and making the right passes is ahead of her years. She's also long and athletic, even showed the EURO

Kennedy Vation (Team Phenom) is long and athletic, attacked strongly from multiple angles, and played the passing lane

Jordan Dawson (Hoop Society 2030) athletic guard that scored off the dribble as well as showed the jumper but she saw the floor and handled the ball well under pressure 

Stella Wall (True Texas Hoops 2030 Blue) is long and athletic, yeah that's still the base but add UPS to her pluses as well as her ability to finish strongly after contact 

Kinley Walker ( Texas Heat 2030) scored off the dribble multiple times but her ability to dish the ball while attacking was nice, so was her intensity on both ends of the court

2022 Prime Time Nationals 3rd Grade Tip Sheet

Loyalty, Hustle, and Strength defeated BTR (OK) in the championship and I had a pretty good look at both squads on Saturday prior to Championship Sunday however I had a chance to look at the other 6 teams in the 3rd Grade Division as well so here are some of the STANDOUTS 

Journi Moore (BTR 2031) played the p;assing lane very well, understands how and when to attack the basket but her handling of the ball and seeing the floor are ahead of her years. She also did a good job defending

Liberty Morton-Hatten (BTR 2031) creates her shot nicely to either score off the dribble or show a legitimate jumper, yes a JUMPER but her "on the ball" pressure and quick hands enablked her to get steals

Lucy Davis (True Texas Hoops 2031) heady player that already "gets it" and her comprehension of the game and handling pressure had me smiling. She creates her shot, drops the pull-up and sees the floor

KK Granger (Destined For Greatness 2031) an athletic guard that alreadys falls into that "never takes a play off" category. Her "on the ball" defense as well as her consistently attacking the basket were nice

Sage Humble (Loyalty, Hustle and Strength 2030) long and athletic is the base, she also has good timing to block shots but her handling in the open court the ball at her size  was impressive, she even showed the pull-up

Taylin Urune (Loyalty Hustle and Strength 2030) saw the floor very well but her first step is going to create some problems as she attacked the basket from every angle. Solid defender that also played the passing lane

Armani Reed (Loyalty, Hustle and Strength 2030) long and athletic is still the base, she played the passing lane well, she scored off the dribble from the wing and she rebounded but her defenese was also solid

Trinity Boyd (DC Queens 2031) showed me quite a bit as she handled the ball effortlessly coast to coast under pressure, scored both off the dribble and from outside, even showed the step back but her BB-IQ is WOW, so is her mindset

Makayla Thompson (Krush 2031) her OTB, on the ball defense, got me going but she also handled the ball under pressure, scored off the dribble and saw the floor

Amiya Coburn (Krush 2031) scored off the dribble multiple times but she used her athleticism very well, that showed as her pressure defense helped create turnovers but her court vision was impressive as well

Claire Watkins (Lady Wolves 2031) I tweeted how impressed I was with her diving on the floor for a loose ball, before her game started watching a game but she kept the momentum going when she played and still went after the ball, scored off the dribble and played the passing lane

Nana Ya Sam (Lady Unity 2031) her court vision is way ahead of her years, so are her blazing "on the money" passes but she scored attacking the basket strongly and applied heat on defense, baseline to baseline
 

2022 Prime Time Nationals has me pumped for #NBC22

 It doesn't take me much to become excited for Prime Time Nationals, "why is that asked the novices" and in my REAL EVALUATOR voice, I respond " because talent is everywhere" and I have a knack for knowing what I'm looking at. The young ladies above, Zori Bailey and Pulkera Ray are two of Team Lex Tarheels talented squad, how do I know the squad s talented, well I saw them perform in the skills challenge, plus I'm clairvoyant, only in evaluating. I also know Michael Gatewood is the director and I caught his daughter and several other players that helped lead Desoto to back-to-back state championships a little earlier than this group

I also saw some Oklahoma players from both Krush Queens and BTR, am I pumped to see their pipeline, yes I am, especially after seeing both the energy and enthusiasm from some of their players and I can just tell what I'm in for

Let me bring it home as I'll catch that up-and-coming Houston Lady Roadrunners squad led by director/coach Tyrone Robinson. I'll never forget meeting him and his squad what seems like an eternity ago who were around the same age as these young ladies. All went on to play at the next level and were led by his daughter Tasharian and now the baby, Tia Robinson,  has my eyes glued to her every move as her subliminal message "we got next" just grabbed me

I'll catch THE BABIES tomorrow #FieldhouseFriday is the hashtag, and I'm sure they'll be showing why one said " Don't Call Me Baby" but today, I get to ELEVATE off the ground, sort of, and catch one of my "must-see" teams EYG, from the PGH Circuit. Several talented players are on that squad including one of the top PGs I caught on that circuit, Sarahi Beltran. So let me get a quick walk so I can give "plenty of talk" as I start today at Drive Nation so I'll join Hiahni Howard and say PEACE OUT 

Houston Fury #HoustonSummerSlam

 I'm still in shock over the passing of Coach A but I wanted to make sure I caught both of the Houston Fury's teams as much as I could so let me give you a breakdown starting with the 14U

Aliyah Woodard is turning into a nightmare to defend as she brings the trifecta of offense, scores off the dribble, drop the mid to long-range, and sees the floor yet in between she shows solid on the ball defense as well plays the passing lane

Nia Williams is an athletic guard that brought the heat on the defensive end while Bella Rogers and Kameah Matthews are both long and athletic and they too were solid defensively but Cassidy Mouton added a little more than the L/A I speak about all the time, she scored off the dribble

Moriah Gray left no great area showing her pull-up jumper, on top of that her court vision was nice while Emily Stevens did a good job of both defending and rebounding yet the BUCK didn't stop there as Ziyuna Buck understands something very important, how to use her body around the basket to finish and she rebounded on both ends 

The high school squad had some key players missing, notably Leslie Forum who is long and athletic and scores however she wants but I got a kick out of Zaya Adagbada dropping the long-range and showing her athleticism on both ends. Inonda Patterson also used her athletic ability well, especially on defense 

Several of their 17U players went after the boards well, Autumn Coonfield and Lauren Stevens both did a good job rebounding on both ends, Stevens also finished strongly, after contact and showed some nice moves around the basket while Erika Gipson is both tall as well as long and athletic and hit the boards nicely as well

Paris Anderson mixed it up for me, first of all, she played the passing lane, did I mention I love that, yes, countless times but her ability to not only drop the jumper but catch and shoot showing the pull-up was equally gratifying and she did it "in the clutch" but Evan Carpenter also showed a nice pull-up jumper to go along with using her body around the basket to score. She rebounded, scored off the dribble and guess what, she played the passing lane 

Clear Creek Basketball Camp 2031-2034 Tip Sheet

BROOKE KUNEFKE

 

I didn't look at grades ahead of time, I rarely do because I have a knack for certain things in this girls basketball arena, after all I'm not a novice so here we go

Brooke Kunefke- the youngest player at the camp yet you would never know by her diving on the floor for loose balls, 2034 people, as well as understanding how to defend on the perimiter

2033

Lacey Arthur- handles the ball, attacks the rim 

Ellie Kazin- creates her shot, goes after rebounds

Ava Grace Saadat- heady, showed she could shoot from outside as well as attack the basket

2032

SKYLAR BRANNON

This was a nice trio of incoming 3rd graders because they already get certain things like, THE BASICS, so everything else will be gravy. On another note I watch the Saddat sisters mom when she was around their age, she was one of the top guards from the area, how about that

ANNABELLE SAADAT

Skylar Brannon- handles the ball well under pressure, nice first step to attak the basket yet she already understands how to create her shot and knocks it down

Annabelle Saadat-already finds ways to put the ball in the basket, nice HEZ off the dribble and changes direction is the open court. Scored off the pull-up, also defends well

Laikyn Schmaltz- heady player that doesn't force anything, did a good job defensively and showed she could attack the basket from multiple angles 

2031

ANIYAH RUSSELL

Aniyah Russell- her mom was one of the first players I caught when I became involved, I remember her dominating on both ends so it's no surprise that her baby already "gets it". She battles for loose balls, dives on the floor but she also battles for rebound sand did a good job scoring on putbacks and off the dribble

Savannah Morton- attacked the basket from multiple angles, finished and did a good job on the defensive end

Vivienne Thomas- didn't mind going after loose balls, rebounded, created her shot for the pull-up or attacked the basket 

AUTUMN MILLER

Autumn Miller- was one of the standouts in the skillset as she scored an abundance of buckets in the allocated time, attacks the rim and shows the pull-up 

Jaelen Cooper- scored off the dribble, nice on the ball defense plus she understands how and when to switch on the defensive end

Sienna Palmer- one of the top players going coast to coast with the ball and finishing after the defensive rebound but she also scored well in the set by attacking the basket

Savannah Holt- did a good job scoring off the dribble and finishing after contact. She does things instinctively, that's always a good sign and has nice upside

SIENNA PALMER

Clear Creek Basketball Camp 2029/2030 Tip Sheet

 

SCARLETT PALMER

I definitely got a kick out of covering the Clear Creek Camp today, this took me back to why I started doing this over a decade ago so watching young talented players at the early stages has always been enjoyable because of their energy and continuing to watch their progression has also been rewarding for me. Here are some of the standouts heading into the 5th and 6th grade, I'll start with 2029(6th grade)

CABRINA VANDERFORD

Scarlett Palmer- She already is showing the HEZ in the open court which is going to create some problems, she creates her shot to score off the dribble as well as drop the jumper

Cabrina Vanderford- she understands the game and did a good job of keeping the defender leaning, She also creates her shot to attack the rim as well as hit the outside shot plus she sees the floor

LILLY SANCHEZ

Lily Sanchez- is a solid ballhandler that got to her spot and dropped the jumper yet she also has a deceptive first step which enables her to get to the rim from multiple angles. Good upside

Andee Mitchell- goes after the ball off the rim but she also did something I love and that's "followed her shot". Her rebounding was strong, she scored around the basket and on putbacks 

HONORABLE MENTION

Claire Kazin

Faith Vargas 

Julia Brown

Lacey Brown

Savannah Sabin

Emma Thomas

Alexis Murray 

Olivia Olsen 

2030

MAKYLI ETHRIDGE

Makyli  Ethridge- she immediately caught my eye in the pregame skills session because of her SWB, speed with the ball, and factor in she's long and athletic, those are huge pluses for her age. She attacks strongly off the dribble, the first step will develop into a problem and she defends as well as plays the passing lane

HONORABLE MENTION

Mackenzie Blanton

Layla Duckworth

Kennedy Brannon

Lala Garcia

Tessa Lacourt

Kristin Skendziel

Adyfson Skendziel

Juliet Thomas

2022 Houston Summer Slam MS Tip Sheet

MARIYAH ALFRED

I caught a couple of middle school teams that turned in rosters at the Houston Summer Slam, totally missed Houston United 2026 as they played Saturday only so I definitely have to make that right but Kenner Angels and Cy Fair SETX did provide what I needed so here you go

Mariyah Alfred(Cy Fair SETX) I labeled her #D1Lock on Saturday, she is actually a 2027 playing up and I see her game continuing to go up, up, and away because of her explosive first step as well as her ability to hang in the air and finish but along with her body control, she can drop it from outside 

Kennedi Griffin (Cy Fair SETX) athletic guard that not only "sees the floor" and makes solid on the money passes but she also does a good job of both scoring off the dribble, finishing after the lick, as well as applying heat defensively 

Keri'Ana Williams (Cy Fair SETX) her nickname is SHAQ, need I say more. She's strong and showed nice moves around the basket but her finishing consistently after contact along with her rebounding strongly on both ends of the court was nice

Makalan Foster (Cy Fair SETX) scored off the dribble consistently, a deceptive first step sets that up yet I enjoyed watching her not only create her shot but show the pull-up jumper from mid to long-range. She also saw the floor and handled the ball under pressure 

KENNEDI GRIFFIN

Kirsten Johnson (Kenner Angels) scored around the basket, and did a good job of rebounding on both ends, yes her putbacks were nice but so was her defense around the basket. She also battled for loose balls, nice upside 

Molly Baker (Kenner Angels) court vision is a huge plus for her age and watching her handle the ball almost effortlessly under pressure was just as big but what really grabbed me was her diving on the floor for loose balls as well as her taking the defender off the dribble to score

Tamia Cole (Kenner Angels) her deceptive first step set everything up as she attacked the basket from multiple angles but she also did a good job on the defensive end, including playing the passing lane where she showed she could handle the ball in the open court 

I actually asked the name of one of the players, 2027 Jacelyn Schmidt, who made my NFR Tip Sheet on Prep Girls Hoops 

Honorable Mention

2022 Girlz Got Game 2026 Tip Sheet

 

I always players to TAKE pictures at INDIVIDUAL SHOWCASES yet one more time, following directions play a part in attempting to play at the next level so based on who actually took pictures, unless I knew who you were, these are the 5 heading to HS

Taylor Hicks- overpowering on both ends of the court, her power around the rim is next-level ready because of her strength and mindset yet watching her score with players literally hanging on her always thrills me, and so does her rebounding and defense 

SaMiyah Bowers- amazing upside coupled with her progression she shows every time I catch her has me smiling. She battles for everything off the rim and finishes after contact yet her interior defense is good as well as her timing to block shots 

Arissa Alaniz- smoothly creates her shot under pressure and delivers both from mid to long-range yet she also uses the same creativity to attack the basket in the set as well as the open court and finishing using good body control, with either hand 

Shyla Hancock- HUGE upside as she's already over "the magic number" which is 6'0 however she moves her feet well on defense, rebounds on both ends, and runs the floor yet her "hands and footwork" are a couple of things that will help create problems for defenders around the basket

Brenda Sloan- probably isn't related to Jerry, back in the day Bulls player, yet her "on the ball" defense definitely stood out, and so did her court vision yet she also knocked down outside shots as well as scored off the dribble, finishing after the lick

2022 Girlz Got Game 2027 Tip Sheet

 

Faith Etienne

When I cover Individual Showcases I ask players to take pictures for a number of reasons and following instructions is huge if you want to be not only a better player but have aspirations of playing at the next level so my car was broken into, everything was stolen including the notes however I had uploaded the pictures from the camp, this helps so based on who took their pictures, here you go

???

I have no idea who the young lady is pictured above, yet she was long athletic, attacked off the dribble, and played the passing lane her timing also stood out, as well as her rebounding 

Faith Etienne-long and athletic seemed to be the trend as several players fit that profile yet her upside is scary, she does things instinctively which is always a plus. The first step creates problems, and so does her scoring around the basket

Addison Burnett- a heady player that plays within herself, creates her shot nicely under pressure and she also did a good job of not only handling the ball under pressure but seeing the floor. Good upside

Ameriah Moore- long and athletic, she is way ahead of the curve and watching her ENJOY not only play defense but play the passing lane just grabs me. Nice pull-up jumper and she scores well off the dribble

Shamiah Taylor

Shamiah Taylor- has taken her game to yet another level, yes she is long and athletic but her explosiveness off the dribble alone makes her hard to handle. Good body control on finishes, she also does that after contact and knocks down the jumper

Kaylnn Blackmon-long and athletic is mentioned so many times because that is and always will be the base when I start a profile and I enjoyed both her timing to block shots as well as to go after the ball off the rim. She also runs the floor and finishes well, plus she played the passing lane

Miya Johnson- is also"long and athletic" and did several nice things, especially in the open court but her on the ball defense was nice, she played the passing lane and she did a nice job attacking and finishing plus she showed the jumper 

2022 Girlz Got Game 2028 Tip Sheet

ZONAI COOK

I love excitement, I love entertainment but even more importantly, I love progression so continuing to see some of the players I had seen over the past couple of years take their games to yet another level had me smiling, remember, I'm doing this from memory, if your daughter DID NOT take a picture, she will not be listed 

Zonai Cook- I'm ready to drop #D1Lock, her energy coupled with dazzling ballhandling has her way ahead of the game, she drops the jumper, scores off the dribble, and sees the floor

Darryn Sorrells- long and athletic is still the base, slices to the basket well from various angles, good defender, and rebounds on both ends but she can face the basket and score as well

Lexie Cruz- good defender, strong rebounder and scored both by attacking the basket, yes she finished after contact, and also scored off putbacks, good upside 

HAVEN POINTER

Haven Pointer- scary upside, love her being "vocal on the court" I'm huge on things you can't teach and that includes her mindset as she THINKS the game. Explosive off the dribble, nice pull-up jumper

Meagan Paulk- creates her shot "under pressure" and showed she could knock it down. Nice court vision, handles the ball, also under pressure, and can score off the dribble

Pia Karthik- rebounds well on both ends, and does a good job finishing around the basket but her interior defense was also nice as she showed lateral movement and doesn't mind the physicality

Valentina Cantu- finished strongly, after contact, and got after it when the ball came off the rim. She also scored facing the basket in the paint, runs the floor, good upside 

VALENTINA CANTU
