Kenidi Glover Kenidi Glover 6'0" | PF Duncanville | 2025 State TX -6’1 PF
Glover’s name is spelled multiple ways on my website, this is why I keep stressing “non-erroneous rosters are important” yet I have her game right which is important as well, and watching her progress from basically a back to the basket player that scored on putbacks and rebounded I guess in the 5th grade to a dominant force inside has been nice, even though I catch her every now and then yet I don’t have to see players a hunnid times to know what I’m looking at and her ability to attack from the wing as well as shoot the jumper, not leave out defend gives her a solid efficiency rating
Joy Egbuna Joy Egbuna 6'2" | C Mansfield Lakeridge | 2025 State TX -6’2 C (Team Jordan)
Egbuna was good the first time I saw her yet that good became great in the blink of an eye. She’s athletic, she ignites the break with the outlet and can finish on the other end but she rebounds with authority, on both ends of the floor and her finishes with players literally hanging on her speaks volumes about her strength and speaking of strengths, I really like her timing to block, alter or even deflect shots and her defense, in or outside the paint is solid as well
Kinsea Logan Kinsea Logan 6'1" | C Mansfield Lakeridge | 2025 State TX -6’1 C (Team Jordan)
Logan is a name that really grabbed me because it’s my first grandchild’s name yet Kinsea’s game as well as upside grabbed me as well. She’s long and athletic, reacts well on defense as she reads the switch and steps out to block shots but she also showed she could score around the basket, and with her UPS to elevate over defenders, she is going to be hard to handle before it’s all said and done
Nmesoma Okola Nmesoma Okola 6'1" | C Glenn | 2025 State TX -6’1 C (Phoenix)
Okola was sighted because her club coach exact words were “Simmie I have an 8th grader guest playing on my 17U team that’s 6’1” as I was about to leave yet I’m glad I stayed and yeah, I saw her being long and athletic, rebounding and blocking shots with ease, it was something about her on-court presence that I realized her club coach had given me a present. Fast forward to her playing with her talented 2025 squad and watching her dominate on both ends told me a lot, she scores effortlessly in the paint, which includes facing the basket and even handled the ball the length of the court so her ceiling has no roof
