Sammie Wagner Sammie Wagner 6'1" | SF Reagan | 2023 State #2 Nation TX (Reagan)
Current Rank #1
Wagner has already committed to Baylor and depending which expert you wanna believe, she’s either #1 or #2 in the country but the real expert, ME, sees a lot of Lauren Cox in her at the same stage but Wagner might be shooting the long-range deeper to go with the abundance of other offensive skills she has
RyLee Grays RyLee Grays 6'3" | PF The Village School | 2023 State #17 Nation TX (The Village School)
Current Rank #2
Grays was crowned a #D1Lock by me in the 6th grade I believe because of her size and power yet she didn’t settle and is learning to destroy on the inside which legitimizes a #BCSLock. Good hands and footwork plus she isn’t anywhere near where she’ll be
Maddie Cox Maddie Cox 6'2" | SF Flower Mound | 2023 State #18 Nation TX (Flower Mound)
Current Rank #5
Maddie is Lauren’s younger sister and I remember watching her put on 3 point exhibitions during the half at big sister’s high school games. She’s putting on different types of exhibitions now, scoring from anywhere as well as rebounding and blocking shots
D’Asia Thomas D’Asia Thomas 6'3" | PF Houston Chrisitian | 2023 State TX (Waller)
Current Rank #8
Thomas immediately caught my eye watching the JR NBA telecast and she showed me I wasn’t seeing a mirage earlier this season after she scored a barrage of baskets quickly and effortlessly. Strong and physical, she also passes well for her size and can score facing the basket
Alexis Cortez Alexis Cortez 5'10" | SF Allen | 2023 State TX (Allen)
Current Rank #18
Cortez did enough during last seasons July Showcase that I immediately knew she would be an addition but the pluses continued after Spring Creek Mansfield Invitational. She plays within her self yet she gets hers in the flow and before you know, she has a double-double or close
Taylor Haggan Taylor Haggan 5'11" | PF John Paul II | 2023 State TX (Plano East)
Current Rank #26
Don’t know if Haggan is related to Festus but she’s been deputized as a #D1Lock after Pass The Ball event back in September. She physical, powerful yet can take defenders off the dribble or shoot the mid to long but her energy enables her to man-up baseline to baseline
