The Open Period – Friday’s Players to Watch
PGH scouts feature ranked athletes from Kansas.
Mason Asher
In this article:
Tonight will be the start of something that we are calling the Open Period. This weekend was to be the first live period of the year for girls AAU basketball and with that not taking place we still want to give the players the coverage they deserve. Tonight we will be watching four games and bringing you coverage on Twitter all evening long as we sit and watch these four games. Next week you'll see coverage on the site from the weekend just like had we been out at an AAU event! Make sure to follow along on Twitter (@PGHIowa) this evening and throughout the weekend! View the entire schedule here (games are subject to change due to unforeseen issues): Week 1 Schedule. Below are some key players to watch in the games tonight. We are only listing the non-seniors who would be playing this weekend, but there will be commentary on Twitter on all players!
