Continue ReadingWith the end of the high school season, we are ready to turn the page and begin to look at the upcoming AAU season with a series of previews. Some teams have already gotten underway, but the majority don’t get underway until the calendar turns to April. These are individual looks into teams for this upcoming season. The first is a look at the SD Attack 2022 team coached by Jamie Granum.

Roster Breakdown
This is a very evened out roster between the guards, wings, and bigs. The common denominator between the three is that they can all score the ball. It’s a young group, but a lot of these girls got a lot of run this winter with their high school teams. I really like the roster construction and I think that they are going to make a bit of noise this year.
One to Watch
The younger sister of Creighton commit Emma Ronsiek, Hannah Ronsiek is prepped for a big year with SD Attack. I think that she’ll be able to show a lot of things that she wasn’t able to this past year with her high school team. I think that she is fluid with the ball but also is a solid defender. At the next level she’s going to be a wing, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see her get a little interest starting this season.
Who Should be Watching
Since it is a 2022 team, there likely won’t be many schools watching this team to recruit, but rather to mark down names that they can keep an eye on over the summer. Since it is going to be a team that travels a lot regionally, a lot of college programs will be seeing them but they are a year away from those small colleges marking them down to watch. I could see a couple low majors setting up to watch this group with the potential that they hold.

Schedule Breakdown
This is a team that will be traveling quite a bit as they kick their season off with two straight trips down to Iowa, followed by two trips over to Minnesota. They play a nice live period schedule as well in July and their exposure opportunities should be plentiful. It’s going to be a very good opportunity to play on a big stage for this squad.
