Continue ReadingThe best thing about 7th graders is that they become 8th graders is about as dumb as the best thing about whatever that old saying is in high school so cluelessness has been around forever, social media just has it on a larger scale so here’s the deal and I stay this over and over, “it’s not what you do, it’s who you do it against” and these 8 young ladies went against LEGITIMATE future #D1Playes as well as next-level players and they competed so let me help you with the algorithm, this is good for them, and it should boost their confidence e because they showed they could compete, I’m not a novice at this
Bailey Burns
Burns continues to show she can compete against the older players, she battles for loose balls and rebounds and is understanding how to use her variety of offensive skills other than the long ball because with her size, she can definitely create some match-up problems, good upside
Eryn Roberts
Roberts showed the EURO a few times in transition and did it effortlessly and instinctively yet she also showed the step back and as I stood back to capture more, she used her athleticism nicely to attack and finish or elevate and shoot the jumper but watching her apply pressure defensively definitely did it for me
Elizabeth Hamilton
Hamilton uses her body weel around the basket, finishes after contact, and did a good job rebounding on both ends, yeah she scored on putbacks but her rebounding was very strong and with authority. She also did a good job defending inside the paint as well as running the floor on both ends
Kourtney Wright
Wright lit it up from outside and when you have range like she has at this stage, uh-oh yet she’s athletic and can handle the ball, does a good job setting the defender up to attack the basket plus she sees the court very well and makes crisp passes on the money, very good upside
Sanaa Khawaja
Khawaja was acrobatic with a jumper the first time I caught her a couple of seasons ago and has fine-tuned other aspects of her game so the mid to long-range is something to be reckoned with, so is defending her in the open court because she handles the ball well while being defended and with court vision, she can definitely get the ball to an open teammate
Naddilee French
French showed the crossover in transition a few times but she’s athletic so guess what else, she can rebound and go coast to coast also but she creates her shot in the set, scores off the dribble and finishes strongly after contact. I also enjoyed her defending the older players
Carmen Evans
Evans was one of many athletic guards that could score off the dribble yet she also was one of the best who stayed under control and finished after contact. She also did a good job of creating her shot under pressure and knocking it down and speaking of pressure, on the flip she applied it on the defensive end
A’niyah Harmon
Harmon left me somewhat speechless at her club team’s practice I attended yet peep what I said the next time I saw her. I stress I am not a novice at this and she joins another Harmon, Rori (Texas) that I called a #D1Lock in the 5th grade as well so certain things I watch in younger players that just let me know, yeah she can drop the jumper and blow by defenders but her “poise under pressure” her mannerisms, the way she reacts and her doing things instinctively had already sold me
