LaTerra Satcher-5’9 SF (Beaumont Westbrook) SETX Elite |2023|
Satcher caught me by surprise, sort of, but she was long and athletic, I call that the base but she was overly athletic and read the passing lane very well. She also did a good job defending “in the ball” baseline to baseline yet her timing to block shots was also good. She scored around the basket, her UPS were nice, so were her putbacks over taller players and she did a good job rebounding, on both ends and running the floor
Mallory Denson-5’5 CG (Beaumont Westbrook) Cy Fair SETX |2025|
Denson is smooth and understands the game quite well. Well her thinking the game is going to be key as far as playing at the next level because she has a gift to read plays before they happen and observing her observe what’s about to transpire told me a lot, I’m not a novice at this, so she defends, creates her shot under pressure and attacked strongly off the dribble
Laila Manuel-5’7 G(Beaumont United) Cy Fair SETX |2025|
Manuel is going to have defenders needing a manual to try and defend her. She’s strong and powerful and can post up guards defending her or drop the jumper with a hand in her face. She goes hard on both ends, baseline to baseline, dives for loose balls as well as out rebounds taller players. I love her finishes after contact, also enjoyed her playing the passing lane
Keyiona McDaniel-5’8 G (Kountze) Cy Fair SETX |2025|
McDaniel is a cross between Wahoo and Xavier, the first because of her mental toughness, the latter because of her ability to play multiple, positions, well and she was one of the best at doing what I love to see and that’s playing the passing lane. She also attacked the basket from countless angles and used her next-level frame to finish after contact. She defended and dropped the jumper
MaRiyah Alfred-5’7 CG (Silsbee MS) Cy Fair SETX |2027|
Alfred doesn’t answer the phone for the Caped Crusader, she is doing the dialing and whether it’s rotary or not, her being called a #D1Lock should give you a glimpse. Her first step can be devastating, she has that explosiveness in the open court while handling the ball yet she’s already finishing acrobatically, yes after contact, and that jumper in the set or stop and pop in transition is looking good. Huge upside, her ceiling has no roof
