Windy City Classic Day Three: Favorite Teams

&nbsp; <strong>KS Next Level Eclipse Blue Star</strong> is a mixture of 20s and 21s. They have some good length with 6’4<strong> Ella Anciaux</strong> 2021 and 6’2 <strong>Ashton Verhulst</strong> 2020. They compliment them with athletic guards like<strong> Deon Monroe</strong> and <strong>Kyndal Lewis</strong>. This squad was pushing it out in front for easy baskets.

They have a legit 5-6 really <span style="font-size: 1rem">athletic players, starting with </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem">Alexus Motley</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem">. She find her way through every passing lane. She is long, quick and has the longest euro-step at her level. The twins </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem">Brooklyn</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem"> and </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem">Hannah Harpe</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem"> have that twin spidey sense thing going on.

She shoots from every level and has great court vision. Rocca holds several offers including one from <strong>Northern Illinois</strong>. She played up on the 17U team last year that featured some national ranked players. <span style="font-size: 1rem">Her and high school teammate </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem">Rose Nkumu</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem"> are leading the pack. Speaking of Rose, she lit it up this weekend. The team didn’t get many wins, but Rose stood out from them all. She seems to be a natural born scorer. It helps to have a teammate by your side the whole way. Rocca and Nkumu are a dynamic duo, who will turn more heads as the season continues. Rose has offers from </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem">Creighton</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem">, </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem">Drake</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem">, </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem">University of Northern Iowa</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem">, </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem">University of Nebraska-Omaha</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem"> and most recently </span><strong style="font-size: 1rem">Marquette University.</strong>
