Stock Risers: First Live Period

Stock Risers are those who are already on the radar, but they continue to improve in their game, hence they rise in the stock of the type of player they are and potential of recruiting. All of these players exemplified what is meant by improving on their game. I’ve witnessed all of these players play multiple times throughout the year, and most in different settings. An aspect of their game changed, improved, or was added each time I saw these players play. My most recent time watching these ladies was the first live period weekend in Texas. <em>*Photo Courtesy Edmond Sun</em> <strong>#3 Armani Reed, Junior, 5’9, Guard, Tulsa Washington HS, OK Federal Ballerz Platinum</strong> Lanky Long player that drives to basketball well. She uses her length on her initial take off in order to get by the defense. The initial take off is also fairly quick which aids her ability to attack the rim. &nbsp; <strong>#3 Ahoneste Walker, Junior, 5’5, Point Guard, Edmond Santa Fe HS, OKC Lions Elite</strong> Strong attack’s to the basket with creative footwork to be able to finish the shot. Explosive and fast with the ball in transition and I love how she gets lower on the dribble when defenders are near which helps her control the ball better. &nbsp; <strong>#4 Kaylee Borden, Sophomore, 5’4, Guard, Anadarko HS, Unity Basketball-Hawkins</strong> She usually always pushes the ball in some fashion. Rarely is she seen walking the ball up the court if it’s in her hands. Always goes up strong for the finish through contact. She plays so hard which always yields positive outcomes every time. She is also not very turnover prone. Easily a kid you never want off the court.
