Continue ReadingI cover a lot of ground in Texas looking, observing and absorbing talented players in high school and caught several who just showed that they had elevated their games from the last time I evaluated them, this is why I’m doing this on a quarterly basis which equates to four times per year so my advice is to keep progressing and bring it every game because you never know who’s watching. #24 Kelliah ‘KJ’ Walker Kelliah ‘KJ’ Walker 5'8" | PG Keller-Timber Creek | 2022 State TX (Keller Timber Creek) and #25 Desiree Wooten Desiree Wooten 5'9" | SG Mansfield Timberview | 2022 State TX (Mansfield Timberview) both moved up a notch but here are some of the others that made jumps
Jazzy Owens Jazzy Owens 5'8" | PG Liberty | 2022 State TX (Frisco Liberty)
Current Rank #7 from #9
Owens not only played a huge role in her team winning the state championship (UIL 5A) but she was named MVP. Explosive scorer that just keeps coming at you, on both ends
Christeen Iwuala Christeen Iwuala 6'1" | C Reagan | 2022 State TX (San Antonio Reagan)
Current Rank #8 from #30
Iwuala left me somewhat speechless at She’s Ballin Showcase and her growth since the last time I saw her, size and skillset, complimented her #BEAST mentality as she controlled the inside on both ends
Kayla Cooper Kayla Cooper 5'9" | SG Plano East | 2022 State TX (Plano East)
Current Rank #10 from #12
Cooper scores so many ways that she’s definitely a nightmare to defend and whether it’s attacking from every angle of her stop and pop going full speed, wow
Maya Linton Maya Linton 6'1" | PF Duncanville | 2022 State TX (Timber Creek)
Current Rank #13 from #15
Linton’s desire is just overwhelming at times, she scores with her back to the basket as well as facing it but her tenacity on the defensive end has gone up
Sydney Love Sydney Love 5'10" | CG Cibolo Steele | 2022 State TX (Steele)
Current Rank #15 from #17
Love was solid at the Texas Invitational but her She’s Ballin performance definitely caught my attention as she understands how to set defenders up and elevates over them or blows by them
Laila McLeod Laila McLeod 5'10" | SF Duncanville | 2022 State TX (Duncanville)
Current Rank #17 from #19
McCleod was solid all season and played a huge part in helping her team win a state championship (UIL 6A) and her ability to fill it up in the flow multiple ways is definitely solid
Donovia Hall Donovia Hall 5'11" | SF Plano East | 2022 State TX (Plano East)
Current Rank #19 from #22
Hall has always had the explosiveness and watching her at She’s Ballin going against other next-level talent told me a lot. The midrange is there, she creates easily and finishes strongly
Lexi Alexander Lexi Alexander 5'10" | PF Cedar Ridge | 2022 State TX (Cedar Ridge)
Current Rank #30 from #35
Alexander went completely off at the Katy Classic and with her frame, she does so many things the next level loves. She rebounds, defends on the inside and perimeter, solid finisher and can shoot the long ball
