College coaches, this article is for you. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="178868" first="Asia" last="Cochran"] </strong>is a senior to be that hasn’t had the looks from next level coaches that her game probably warrants. I have seen this girl play plenty over the years, both live and in person, and she’s a college basketball player through and through. Here’s a breakdown of her and her game: <h2>NAME</h2> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="178868" first="Asia" last="Cochran"]</strong> <h2><strong>GRADUATION YEAR</strong></h2> 2022 <h2>SCHOOL</h2> Westfield Prep <h2>GRASSROOTS PROGRAM</h2> Hype Athletics <h2>HEIGHT</h2> mathematics and statics 5’7 <h2>POSITION</h2> Shooting Guard <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-283868" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/pgh/uploads/2021/05/Asia-Cochran2-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /> <h2>STRENGTHS OF HER GAME</h2> - Ball handling: <strong>Cochran </strong>is probably underrated in this aspect of her game. She's an excellent secondary ball handler when facing a pressure defense. - Driving to the rim: If a defender starts stepping out on her jumper, she can put the ball on the floor and attack the basket. - 3 point shooting: <strong>Cochran</strong> is always a threat from behind the arc. She can connect on a triple even with a hand in her face. - Shooting off the dribble: She can pull up on a dime and bury a deep jumper. She's a dangerous shooter in transition. - High basketball IQ: <strong>Cochran</strong> plays a high percentage game and has a good feel for the action. - Defense: Like most Doc Cornell coached players, she understands how and when to pressure the ball. <span style="color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 2rem;">AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT</span> - Free throw percentage - Mid range jumper <h2>ULTIMATE BASKETBALL GOALS</h2> "Making it to the WNBA." - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="178868" first="Asia" last="Cochran"]</strong> <h2>WHAT SHE’S LOOKING FOR FROM A SCHOOL AT THE NEXT LEVEL</h2> <b>"</b>I want more experience of how the game is played on the high level stage." - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="178868" first="Asia" last="Cochran"] </strong> <h2>RECRUITING NEWS</h2> Her recruitment should be picking up steam. While there are no visits or offers to report, honestly, there should be. <strong>Cochran's </strong>ability to play both ends of the floor at a high speed and with a high level of intensity should make her incredibly intriguing for coaches at the next level.
