@PlayerRIMedies Lone Star Championship Tip Sheet


 Graduation Class of 2023

Allen, Linsie #2

High School Klein Collins

AAU Club Houston United 832

Slasher…slasher that can and will finish! Quick first steps combined with the fact she is fearless and determined to take ANY defender to the hole. Keeps the ball high and attacks the paint strong. Runs the show as backup PG. From the wing, has multiple moves in her toolbox to get to the cup.

 

Chambers, Amari #23

High School Cypress Creek

AAU Club Houston United Chuck

Hybrid player-coaches are commonly seeking nowadays; establishes a strong defensive presence that changes the opponent's ability to attack the paint. On the other end of the court, good footwork inside the paint- moves in her toolbox to score with her back to the basket. Good court awareness to pivot and make strong overhead passes to help reverse the ball to teammates for 3s.

 

Forun, Leslie

High School George Ranch

AAU Club Houston Fury blue

Has that old school game, where it looks like the game comes to her. She changes pace with such ease. This causes defenders to inch in, and here Forun accelerates right by to the paint Multiple and one’s and I saw her distribute cross-court passes as well.

 

Ferguson, Allyson #24

High School Manvel

AAU Club TX Southern Flames

Lanky player. Can guard inside out, when more strength is added to her frame she will be able to really bang with the more physical, bigger posts. Playing within her body’s strengths, she uses her speed to take bigger-sized opponents to the rim. This often results in an and-one play or her going to the free-throw line.

 

Johnson, Aiyana

High School Shadowcreek

AAU Club TX Southern Flames

Size, that’s hard to come by these days; still learning how to use her size on the block… gets good positioning on rebounds. Very solid frame allows for the team to have a respected inside presence, which in turn allows for her team to play an inside-outside game.

 

Johnson, Logan

High School Mayde Creed

AAU Club Houston United 832

Strong for size, simply finds a way to get on the glass when she’s in the game; opponents struggling to force her out the pain= establishes position and goes to work

 

Ruffin, Danielle #10

High School Cypress Creek

AAU Club Houston United Chuck

Court Vision- can handle the ball well under pressure. In fact, she makes her defender pay for applying pressure by taking you off the bounce to the cup or finding an opponent. You will respect her space. She understands how to get in between the seams, draw defenders then dish out to the opponent




Sanford, Aniyah

High School Langham Creek

AAU Club Houston United

Shifty PG. She understands how to change speed and change direction; knows where and when to deliver to her teammates; 3-point range; applies pressure on defense. Feisty competitor. Do NOT underestimate her size. She has a high basketball IQ. This mixed with a fearless attitude means the sky's the limit for this young competitor. 

Stevens, Lauren #15

High School George Ranch

AAU Club Houston Fury blue

The shooting form is excellent. She is 6’ AND jumps when she shoots the ball, so this jump shot really stands out. Still developing an inside-outside game. But I see great potential as she has a foundational understanding, such as how to seal and work the low block to draw position.

Trail, Alana

High School Shadowcreek

AAU Club TX Southern Flames

Floor general. Knows how to set her teammates up, the ability to attack the basket. Plays hard nose over ball defense. Giving 100% effort the entire time she’s on the floor. High energy, and high-intensity competitor!

 

 

Who Is Marissa Rimmy @PlayerRIMedies

 



I couldn’t attend the Lone Star Showcase due to a conflict with Prep Girl’s Hoops #TheExclusive in Chicago so after meeting her at Just Play’s Level Up Event and getting to know her as well as her desire to take her game to another level, I thought it would be great for both her and me to catch the action but who is the brains behind @PlayerRIMedies

 

Marissa Rimmy is slowly starting her player evaluations and recruiting service focusing on the Houston area. Rimmy grew up playing basketball in the north Atlanta suburbs. After playing alongside an Olympian on a historic Georgia girl's basketball team that was ranked number 1 in the country and garnered a perfect 31-0 record in 2007, Rimmy went on to play college basketball for 3 years at Georgia Southern (formerly Armstrong Atlantic State) in Savannah, Georgia. Post-graduation, Rimmy returned to the Atlanta area to begin a coaching career in the highest qualification class in the state. Upon relocating to Houston, Rimmy coached at Incarnate Word Academy for 3 years, heading the program for 2 and finishing each season in the state rankings top 10. She is passionate about using her NCAA playing experience to educate and connect young girls in the recruiting process.
