Class of 2020: Point Guards to Watch

The point guard play in the Washington's soon to be senior class is good across the board. The depth of talent at this position is impressive when you consider the fact that over a half dozen point guards could be playing at the Division 1 level when it is all said and done. The point guard position has evolved to more of a score-first mentality, but we will also highlight some more traditional points as well. Multiple remain uncommitted with a big spring and summer ahead! <em>PG's to Watch:</em> 2020 5'7 PG <strong>Hailey Van Lith</strong> (Cashmere HS, Tree of Hope) - The state's most sought after recruit will have her choice of college. In this day of social media, no player has created the buzz that Van Lith has in the last couple years. Louisiville, Baylor and Oregon are three of the top schools in heavy pursuit of the lefty point guard. 2020 5'9 PG <strong>Elizabeth Boni</strong> (University HS, Tree of Hope) - Boni is a player with a nice mixture of size, handle and vision on the offensive end. She has a really solid offensive skill set. She has picked up the interest of schools from mid and high major schools including the University of Washington and other Pac-12's. 2020 5'7 PG <strong>Raigan Reed</strong> (Lake Stevens HS) - This slashing point guard has already committed to Boise State University. She has good handles and can shoot the ball from deep. She also has quick hands on the defensive end. Raigan has been on D1 school's radar for some time now, but she has kept her commitment with Boise for nearly a year now. She recently had an in-home visit with the coaching staff and things seem to have gone well, which bodes well for the Broncos. 2020 5'7 PG <strong>Dayla Ballena</strong> (Kentridge HS, Tree of Hope) - Dayla is a pass-first point guard that can score when needed. She is really finding the balance between finding her teammates and scoring. She is a pest on defense and possesses good foot speed. EWU has already given an offer and she has the interest of schools from multiple different conferences. She will ultimately go where she feels most comfortable with the balance between academics and basketball. She will be a good cultural piece for a college program with her positive attitude and work ethic. 2020 5'8 PG <strong>Kara Choi</strong> (Bellevue HS, Tree of Hope) - Kara is a 2-time MVP in the KingCo League. She has a very good offensive skill set with a slick handle and smooth jumper. She is playing on a club team loaded with players at the point guard position, but she should still get some opportunity to showcase her basketball IQ and skill set to colleges this spring and summer on the EYBL circuit. *Feature image 2020 5'9 PG <strong>Nakia Boston</strong> (Lynwood HS, NW Greyhounds) - Nakia could technically pass for a combo guard, but she could get recruited as a point guard, depending on the level and fit. She is a solid athlete with a good handle and an ability to make plays in the open floor. Her recruitment should pick up even more with the Greyhounds and the level she will play at is still to be determined. She has the interest of some D1 schools. <em>Others to watch</em>: 2020 5'5 PG <strong>Hermani Kalia</strong> (Nathan Hale HS) 2020 5'7 PG<strong> Kareyna Taylor</strong> (Curtis HS, Tree of Hope) 2020 5'6 PG<strong> Madisyn Clark</strong> (Moses Lake HS) &nbsp; <em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Photo Credit: Stop Action Photography/Bellevue Reporter</span></em>
