I can’t emphasize enough that the game starts at the one, I’m all about saying things that are important over and over because we are in an age of 280 characters and running with nonsense yet my years of experience combined with the "common sense" approach, not to mention that I know talent and I’ve been very successful at identifying players that can play at the next level and what level of the next level, especially at a young age. #37 [player_tooltip player_id="96161" first="Aniyah" last="Sanford"] (Langham Creek) is one of those players that caught my early, I’m thinking 6th grade, and watching her progression over the years told me she’d have a breakout season. #31 [player_tooltip player_id="134041" first="Riley" last="McCloskey"] (Memorial) just left me speechless when I caught her for the first time but so did many others [player_tooltip player_id="134041" first="Riley" last="McCloskey"] (Memorial) Current Rank #31 McCloskey’s basketball IQ is ahead of the curve, she handles the ball under pressure and can split the seams with pinpoint passes but she also can score, mid to long-range [player_tooltip player_id="96161" first="Aniyah" last="Sanford"] (Langham Creek) Current Rank #37 Sanford’s ability to control the tempo and run a squad definitely stood out immediately this season, she understands the game and can get hers in the flow [player_tooltip player_id="134048" first="Peyton" last="Landry"] (Kennedale) Current Rank #38 Landry is one of the most explosive point guards in the class, she can hit teammates going full speed on the money or she can set them up for easy baskets. Nice mid to long-range shot [player_tooltip player_id="134049" first="Mackenzie" last="Townsel"] (Frisco) Current Rank #39 Townsel has plenty of tools including running a team but she also is a good ball-handler, she sees the floor well, and has an explosive first step, plus she can score from outside [player_tooltip player_id="134053" first="Brooke" last="Moses"] (Westfield) Current Rank #43 Moses is a good ball-handler, sees the floor well and creates her shot well under pressure. She also defends baseline to baseline, good upside [player_tooltip player_id="134058" first="Pace" last="Rickard"] (Westlake) Current Rank #48 Rickard shoots well enough to be a combo but she can handle the ball under pressure and sees the floor well, but again, she can score multiple ways
