Five Debuting Point Guards in the 2021 Rankings

Finally getting into the gym this summer has helped expand the number of players added to Kansas’ 2021 rankings.  What follows is a handful of the point guards joining the rankings. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="186601" first="Cherrish" last="Gails"], 5’7", Wichita West, No Boundaries Athletics</strong> - I was able to see Gails as well at the June MAYB Summer Kickoff.  Fast and athletic, Gails has improved substantially since last summer.  She showed good hops and an ability to split defenders to get to the basket. Gails was a <span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:’Verdana’;font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;">2020 Greater Wichita League honorable mention selection in 2020.</span> [caption id="attachment_186836" align="alignleft" width="150"]<img class=" wp-image-186836" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2020/07/Lauren-Gleason-2021-Dodge-City-295x300.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="153" /> Dodge City and Western Kansas Elite 2021 [player_tooltip player_id="185819" first="Lauren" last="Gleason"].

Here stock is expected to continued to rise once I get a chance to see her play in the upcoming month.  Notable is her averaging 3.7 assists with a solid 2.1 assists to turnovers ratio.</span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="186602" first="Alyssa" last="Moore"], 5’2", Olathe West</strong> - <span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:’Verdana’;font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;">Moore is slippery.  She has speed with the ball, can finish in transition against pressure, and pop the three quickly on the wing catch.  Her quick hands gives her opportunities to go end-to-end in a hurry on a pocket pick.  </span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="186591" first="Peyton" last="Peterson"], 5’5", Stanton County</strong> - Peterson will be one to watch how far she has come over the summer.  She averaged <span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:’Verdana’;font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;">5.3 points, 4.1 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. She also had a 1.54 assists to turnovers ratio.</span> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="185818" first="Takia" last="Profit"], 5’8", Wichita West, No Boundaries Athletics</strong> - I was able to see Profit at the June <span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:’Verdana’;font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;">MAYB Summer Kickoff.  She is strong, fast, and can handle in transition and in traffic.  A couple of notable moments featured strong use of a whirl to score off the bounce and, off of a transition play, show the ball to a defender then taking it up for the score uncontested. Additionally, she repeatedly blew by another noteworthy point guard in the back court.  Profit was a Greater Wichita League honorable mention selection in 2020.</span> <span data-sheets-formula-bar-text-style="font-size:13px;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:’Verdana’;font-style:normal;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;"> </span> &nbsp;
