2022 Stock Risers brought excitement

When you look at newcomers like [player_tooltip player_id="200739" first="Kaylee" last="Howell"], [player_tooltip player_id="202477" first="Jazmyn" last="Jackson"], [player_tooltip player_id="202478" first="Aniah" last="Hall"], and [player_tooltip player_id="202479" first="Raeven" last="Boswell"] debut in the Top 50, it sort of tells you about how deep the state is and although I had seen all of those players before, with the exception of Jackson, I caught them in a different setting and they displayed what they could do so I’ll come back to them on the Newcomers list but here are some that I had already seen and were listed in the Top 100 that bumped up [player_tooltip player_id="96915" first="Jamia" last="Harris"] Harris went completely off every time I saw her yet her performance at PBR The Prime Event left me with several lasting memories that I don’t even need notes for as she simply showed she could take over a game, with the mid to long or attacking and dropping the "floata" yet her mindset was she couldn’t be stopped and she was right but it didn’t stop on the offensive end, she defended baseline to baseline and played the passing lane [player_tooltip player_id="135367" first="Bailey" last="Maupin"] Maupin was added to the list sight unseen after I called a few college coaches to get their opinion on her and everything they told me was true as I caught her at The Blueprint. She has good size, she’s strong and she can punish, either attacking the basket or applying pressure on defense but she also can score, many different ways and watching her create the mid-range in the half-court, show the catch and shoot the long ball or the stop and pop in transition [player_tooltip player_id="135373" first="Maurdaisha" last="Powell"] Powell made my Tip Sheet in middle school, she showed a lot of promise and was long and athletic, remember, that’s the base however at the All Eyez On Me Individual Showcase, she crossed numerous bases as she has taken her game to new heights. Watching her not only attack the basket from the wing but glide towards it was very nice, she created her shot for the midrange as well as played the passing lane to a tee [player_tooltip player_id="135387" first="Amira" last="Mabry"] Mabry is coming to her own and that’s scary because she too is long and athletic, stands above the magic number of 6’0, and probably has a 6’3 wingspan but she’s more aggressive, on both ends and showed she could not only finish after contact stronger but she also showed she could put it on the floor and attacks as well as face the basket and score. I’ve always loved her timing, that has even gotten better and what she did at The Prime Event sealed it [player_tooltip player_id="135384" first="Jasmyn" last="Lott"] Lott also had a huge Prime Event showing and her maturity definitely shows as she is just in a zone. I first saw the potential in middle school, she was long and athletic and was taking the ball coast to coast as well as showing she could shoot it but she’s even faster, with the ball, and her range has extended beyond the arc but playing the passing lane ties into speed with the ball as she comes up with layups galore [player_tooltip player_id="135394" first="Savannah" last="Velazquez"] Velazquez showed completely out at the Bigfoot Kingwood Classic and watching her dismantle defensive schemes was a treat for me. She has speed, yet add the turbo and I’m talking with the ball as she got to the rim whenever she wanted and finished with flair, usually for an "and one" opportunity but her long ball, her creating off the dribble as well as her assists ties into one thing, she makes those around her better https://prepgirlshoops.com/texas/rankings/2022-rankings/
