6-0 SF (Jersey Village)
(Up from No. 6)
Vincent took her game to yet another level this season in high school, I’m looking forward to seeing her with her new club team, Texas Phenoms this weekend at the Heart Of Texas which fits because she plays with so much HEART that it just amazes me. She can handle the ball, face the basket, and score and her timing on blocks is pretty darn good

(Up from No. 7)
Sneed made the transition to high school instantaneously and she was big part of her school team playing in the UIL State Championship game in their classification, they were runner-up, yet she dropped runners, floaters, created her shot for the mid to long-range, and played the passing lane so what’s next, I’ll catch up with her soon to give another update

6-0 SF (Spring Branch Memorial)
(Up from No. 12)
Polocheck is a player that has two words I love in her name, POLO, for obvious reasons, and check because mate, you better guard her as she has taken it to another dimension. She was double-double waiting to happen, in fact after a volleyball game, she actually one the same day, who does that, yet she scores with either hand and she goes after the ball off the rim like they used to “back in the day”

5-8 CG (Huffman)
(Up from No. 26)
Williams had a lot of videos floating around to keep me abreast of what she is becoming, yet I told yall in middle school she was going to create some problems. No, I didn’t tag her #D1Lock yet she is on the verge as she understands what she needs to work on and she does it, she also plays within herself, and seeing her accelerate off the dribble to score is just a bonus

5-9 SF (Madisonville)
(Up from No. 20)
Wheaton is one of those players I often say “doesn’t realize how good she is” and with the ability to play almost every position at the next level, I guess that got your attention yet she does things instinctively, some are just unreal and her body control definitely defies gravity but she’s also a very good passer, rebounder, and defender and no, she still doesn’t realize how good she is but I see it coming

(Up from No. 26)
Oliphant’s name rhymes with the actors and sometimes when I watched Justified I thought about her because she amazed me at a very young age with her skill-set and poise on the court. She can go off and drop 20 in the flow and you look at the score sheet and scratch your head yet she also makes those around her better running the 1. She’s explosive off the dribble and can dazzle you in the open court and those passes, OMG

5-6 PG (Hockaday)
(Up from No. 38)
Tambe was seen by accident at a PBR event and she left a lasting impression that got her on The Watchlist. She understands how to run a team, how to control tempo yet she can also score multiple ways, she had several double-doubles during high school, a few triples, and flirted with some quadruple-doubles yet this is going to be a breakout season as she joins a new club team and I’m ready for the action
