<strong><em>A number of Florida’s top 2021 girls prospects have made early decisions on where they will be attending college. It started with [player_tooltip player_id="91500" first="Samara" last="Spencer"] to Arkansas back and ever since then the 2021 Florida prospects have been flying off the board! </em></strong>
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91496" first="Kayla" last="Blackshear"] (Lake Highland Prep / Central Florida Elite) - ALABAMA</strong>
Blackshear’s recruiting really spiked last summer for Central Florida Elite on the EYBL circuit where she finished the season as one of the nations top rebounders. She has an extremely high motor, is very active on both ends of the floor, and is constantly around the basketball. Her athleticism and length combined with how hard she plays every possession will translate well in the SEC at Alabama.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91489" first="Kendal" last="Cheesman"] (HB Plant HS / Tampa Bay Thunder) – Vanderbilt </strong>
Cheesman early commitment to Vanderbilt came as a bit of a surprise as details of her recruitment were not very public. The six-foot-two wing/forward is a versatile player that can play inside out on the offensive end. She can score both on the low block and high post with fifteen-foot range and run the floor well. She averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds per game at HB Plant in her junior year. She has a ton of potential and has a chance to be special with her intense competitiveness and length as a wing player.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91481" first="Chaniya" last="Clark"] (Fort Myers HS / Team Knight) – North Carolina A&T </strong>
At 6’4, Clark aka “Baby Shaq” is a major force on the court. Her size is obvious and catches your eye immediately but there is more to her game than her size as she has great hands, deceptive athleticism for her size and excellent foot work. She has been a prospect that college coaches have been following for several years and was on the national radar as young as 8<sup>th</sup> grade. She made the early decision to verbally commit to NC A&T this spring and her rare combination of size, mass, skill, athleticism, and versatility will allow her to be a major force for the NC&T Lady Aggies and Head Coach Tarrell Robinson.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91525" first="K’Nisha" last="Godfrey"] (Tampa Bay Tech / Essence) - MISSISSIPPI STATE </strong>
Godfrey recently made her commitment to Mississippi State and new Head Coach Nikki McCray through a social media video this May. The 5’9 guard is considered one of the top players in the state of Florida and a top 100 prospect nationally. She is an extremely athletic, strong guard that can score in bunches. Prior to committing to Mississippi State, she was also considering Ole Miss, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91483" first="Eno" last="Inyang"] (St. Cloud HS / East Coast United) – CLEMSON</strong>
Eno is big 6’4, strong, young post. She has a unique combination of strength and athleticism that will give her the opportunity to be an impact player in the ACC. She is a dominant rebounder who has a solid skill set and is a force 5 feet and in around the rim.
<strong>[player_tooltip player_id="146975" first="Emily" last="Jimenez"] (Cardinal Gibbons / Team Knight) - MONMOUTH</strong>
The junior guard picked up an offer from Monmouth University and wasted no time accepting it this spring. The 5’10 guard was instrumental in Cardinal Gibbons success averaging 11.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game. She is an aggressive on ball defender who can knock it down from deep and has excellent handles and court vision.
