2024 Rankings July Update Newcomers

I added 10 to the list, some just made a big splash and shot up quite a bit based on numerous powerful performances yet I’ll revisit this list in about 8 weeks after I get a chance to see many I haven’t seen in a year but here are the additions <strong>#41 [player_tooltip player_id="309646" first="Kennedy" last="Alexander"]-6’0 SF-Channelview HS</strong> Alexander makes her debut at #41 and based on what I saw. I'm thinking Top 20 at least before it's all said and done because she's, here we go, long and athletic, excellent timing has a nice pull-up jumper that she gets off whenever she wants and she finishes strongly <strong>#42 [player_tooltip player_id="309647" first="Vernell" last="Atamah"] 5’11 PF-Mesquite Horn HS</strong> Atamah sold me in Arkansas, Border War 2021, I actually thought she was someone else yet her ability to perform in the highest divisions and consistently is one of the top players yet her DESIRE and ability to BATTLE are, one more time, something you can't teach <strong>#56 [player_tooltip player_id="309648" first="Taylor" last="Ross"]-6’0 PF</strong> Ross also falls into that "long and athletic" category I speak about college coaches loving yet I'm loving her progression as she's nowhere near the finished product which s scary because she has no "roof over her ceiling" and the ball is definitely in her court <strong>#57 [player_tooltip player_id="309649" first="Joemoriah" last="Bob"]-5’6 PG-Houston Sterling HS</strong> Ben made my Tip Sheet when  caught her in an MS tournament, I spoke about her upside to go along with her poise yet over the club season, her skillset is why I'm adding her because she has been playing 17U and has taken her game to a new level showing she can run a squad <strong>#58 [player_tooltip player_id="309650" first="Abigail" last="Smith"]-5’11 SG-Boerne HS</strong> Smith gave me a Lesson about not reading the rosters thoroughly because she's the lone 2024 on her 2023Gold squad so quite naturally... Nevertheless, at that same Arkansas tournament, she went completely off scoring at Will and showing know Grace so as I play on words, she's doing it on the floor and one more time "college coaches LOVE big guards that can shoot <strong>#59 [player_tooltip player_id="309651" first="Noelle" last="Raggio"]-5’11 SG-Cedar Ridge HS</strong> Raggio plays on Fire, they named the team because of her red hair, okay I'm lying yet I ain't lying about her being what college coaches love, here we go, a big guard that can shoot, and the more I watched her, the deeper she was shooting and when you watch her in the rhythm, even a novice evaluator should get it and with that "catch and shoot" looking better and better, watch out <strong>#60 [player_tooltip player_id="309652" first="Noelani" last="Ajel"]-5’5 SG-Steele HS</strong> Ajel has one of the best first steps in her class, I love watching her set the defender up and attack because she defies gravity at times with her body control, and her ability to finish after contact just grabs me but what pulls me is her jumper, the pull-up in half-court or the "stop and pop" in transition, mid to long, she just scores how she wants <strong>#61 [player_tooltip player_id="309653" first="Alyssa" last="Batton"]-5’6 SG-Hutto HS</strong> Batton can shoot the ball, mid to long-range was already solidified however if the game is on the line, she's definitely one of the players I'm drawing up something for. Who am I kidding, I'd just"shoot it" like my kinfolks on Swamp People but she creates her shot, mid to long-range, and drops it with a hand in her face, over and over so the eerie part is her UPSIDE <strong>#62 [player_tooltip player_id="309654" first="Kileah" last="Parr"]-5’5 CG-LaVega HS</strong> Glad to catch her on a roster with the right number finally, I should have added her to the initial Watch List yet when adults don't take care of business, that's what happens yer still in all, she takes care of business and she should have been added, that's on me yet I will be observing her even more closely and she will be JEFFERSONIZED "Movin On Up" GOOGLE IT! <strong>#63 [player_tooltip player_id="309655" first="Cierra" last="Miles"]-5’10 SF-Rockdale HS</strong> Miles traveled many to make her 2nd Tip Sheet in as many sightings yet Frances King (Midwestern State) is a former Rockdale star and she gave me the heads up on Miles and King is definitely Queen because she was right. I didn't even remember Miles from TJ Showcase yet I took notes and went back to the roster and said OMG and one more time, this should show you I have no agenda whatsoever, I look, I observe and I write because I'm THAT GOOD and with her upside, plus being long and athletic... &nbsp; &nbsp;
