I was able to see a few teams from the Volunteer State this weekend play. I was going to share my thoughts on these players right here in this article.
Avery Treadwell Avery Treadwell 6'2" | C Bearden | 2023 State TN (2023) – ETA Thunder 2023 Campos – Bearden HS (pictured on front)
Treadwell really does a great job of keeping the ball up high after rebounding it. Avery was able to connect on some turnaround jumpers today. She really does a good job challenging and altering shots down in the paint. Avery is ranked #2 here in Tennessee in her class. She can face-up to the basket to play inside-out on the floor. Avery is a very skilled and polished post player.
Karli Haworth Karli Haworth 5'6" | PG Alcoa | 2023 State TN (2023) – ETA Thunder 2023 Campos – Alcoa HS
Karli was really fun to watch, and she just constantly brings ball pressure. Haworth is a bit of a nuisance on the defensive end of the floor. Karli was extremely active in the passing lanes and really takes a lot of pride in playing defense. She is a good ball-handler and rarely turns the ball over. Karli pushes the ball up the floor at times and plays the game fast from end to end. I will be curious to see where her recruitment heads going into the NCAA Live Period.
Josie Horner Josie Horner 6'2" | C Northview Academy | 2024 State TN (2024) – ETA Thunder 2024 Campos – Northview Academy (Kodak)
Josie plays center for this squad. Horner was wearing a nose guard this weekend while playing. She does a really good job of finishing down low with her soft hands and body around the cup. Josie filled the lane in transition and was able to catch everything thrown her way. She finished through traffic really did a good job of posting up down on the block and carving out space.
Alonna Poole Alonna Poole 5'11" | SF Oakland | 2024 State TN – FBC Nashville 17U – Stewart’s Creek HS (Smyrna)
Poole did a good job of slashing to the rack and really looking to get downhill at times. Alonna brings good versatility to the floor and a nice touch from the foul line. She plays active on both ends of the floor and was able to connect on some short mid-range jumpers today.
Zoe Best Zoe Best 5'10" | SF Incarnate Word Academy | 2024 State MO – FBC Nashville 17U – Minnehaha Academy (Minneapolis, MN)
Aliyah a left-handed combo guard is very crafty with the ball in her hands. Al-Hameed was able to penetrate into the gaps and touch the paint when she wanted today. She finished at the rim on several occasions today to sure a basket. Aliyah plays the game with a good basketball feel and savviness.
