2022
Sha’Miya Butler-6’2 C (West Monroe HS) Mavs Elite Strong-Thompson AR
Butler definitely was a force around the basket on the offensive end, with great hands, and footwork, she scored almost at will, with either hand and her turnaround jumper was a bonus, so was her rebounding strongly on both ends which were highlighted by the numerous putbacks she came up with
Allie Buchanan Allie Buchanan 6'1" | PF Lake Dallas | 2022 State TX -6’0 SF/PF (Texas Platinum 17U Bates) Lake Dallas HS
Buchanan has the heart of a lion and I ain’t lying because she played injured, not hurt, injured because she wanted to go out with a bang and not let her team down in her last July yet that’s the type of player she is, team-oriented and she could easily score around 20 just about every time she stepped on the court however she’s unselfish and works to complete her game. Mid to long-range, off the dribble, all good yet her BATTLING in the paint against bigger and taller players just did it for me, so yes, she went out with a bang
Dyamon Griggs-6’2 SF/PF (Texas Super Girls 17U Gold) Waco University
Griggs impressed me when she was in the 6th grade I believe with the Waco Lady Panthers and I said she had #D1 potential back then however as her now club coach once told me “you don’t if these kids will keep playing basketball or do something else” and to the simple-minded, that makes sense yet my mind is complicated and when I say something is going to happen, it always does, at least on my evals but her POWER in the paint was overwhelming at times, on both ends as she scored and rebounded very well
2023
Faith Acker-6’2 C (Winnsboro HS) Mavs Elite Strong-Thompson AR
Acker uses her body to get positioning and when she does, you probably can forget about it because she’s heady and maneuver well, but her hands and footwork are also nice, she scored with either hand, after contact and what I really liked was her putting on the floor from 7 or 8 feet and attacking the rim. Her finishes were nice, so was her rebounding but I can’t leave out the job she did defensively, in and outside the paint
2024
Arianna Roberson-6’4 PF/C (Tom C. Clark HS) Player First 17U National
Roberson is long and athletic, has made great strides throughout the season, and will be on the PGH Texas 2024 update in a few weeks but here we go, her timing has gotten so much better that she blocks shots with regularity and does it clean yet think about a 6’4 player with a 6’7 wingspan coming at you, that will change plenty of attempts as she blocks and alters as well yet her offense got better each time I caught her, so did her defense, huge upside
Vivian Iwuchukwu-6’3 PF (Robert G Nole HS) Player First 17U National
Iwuchukwu was JEFFERSONIZED on the last upgrade for PGH Texas Top 100 and if you’re clueless on what that means, Google the Jeffersons and their theme song, Movin On Up, yet that song will playing again as I see her potentially make Top 5 run, yes she’s that good and nowhere near the finished product because her DESIRE shows me what’s coming, she battles for everything off the rim and with her ability to elevate over defenders for baskets, trust me, it’s coming
