’23 Class Leaving Their Mark

The'23 class hands down has been one of the better ones we have seen top to bottom across the state. We have young ladies who have gone way above and beyond just playing high school ball. We have girls representing their countries in international games, playing at Rucker Park, featured in Slam Magazine, playing on some major circuits, and so much more. These girls have been the standard, leaving a legacy and a trail for those behind them to follow. These girls are also outstanding student athletes in the classroom, which even makes their stock rise even higher.   The jury is still out as far as final numbers go. We have some major girls who can hoop that will be going to Power 5 conferences. We also have girls that can hold their own at the other levels as well. Just because you don't go Power 5, doesn't mean you aren't a great player. First and foremost, your education is paid for. You are a student-athlete. At the end of the day, you were the foundational block that university needed and you are the impact player. That's the type of girls we have in this state. Cornerstones for schools to build around.   With that being said, the Top 200 rankings for the class of ‘23 is out! Big shout out to the girls who performed in front of our scouts throughout the course of the year. Here we highlight some of the big dogs of the class. Let me introduce to you some of our real deal girls from the class of ‘23.   [player_tooltip player_id='134643' first='Aalyah' last='Del Rosario'] (6'5/C/Webb- Bell-Buckle)- From NY, made her way down to TN and brought her game along with her. Big anchor in the middle who is a beast on both ends of the floor. A key clog that will be  staple for a program to build around. Great footwork, amazing work ethic. Will be announcing where she will be going to school soon.   [player_tooltip player_id='134646' first='Angelica' last='Velez'] (5'6/PG/ Webb-Bell- Buckle)- Also from NY and goes to Webb, game is loud. She's raw. Ol' junkyard dog who plays the game like her life depended on it. Oozes confidence. This girl has the swagger and game to compete at the next level. Hasn't announced her top 5, but this girl wants to dominate. Game reminds me of Dawn Staley.   [player_tooltip player_id='195902' first='Mallory' last='Collier'] (6'5/C/ Bartlett)- The NC State commit had a tremendous summer. Played in the ELite 40 league, competed at the USA trials, I mean she was grinding. Another big who impacts the paint on both ends. Not a finished product and will continue to grow. She's gonna be a monster in the ACC.   [player_tooltip player_id='245287' first='Jada' last='Harrison'] (5'8/PG/ Westview)- MTSU got a steal in this kid. She's hungry to compete. Possess great work ethic and exodus passion of the game when she is on the floor. Chose the Blue Raiders over multiple Power 5 schools. Look for her to finish her HS career strong and the set her sights on break MTSU records throughout her tenure wearing the big blue.   [player_tooltip player_id='245293' first='Avery' last='Treadwell'] (6'2/C/ Bearden)- Taking her game down to Tallahassee after her senior year. The Lady Seminoles are getting a versatile big who can contribute in many ways. By no means is this girl a finished product. Excited to see her game at the collegiate level.   [player_tooltip player_id='245292' first='Jailyn' last='Banks'] (5'7/CG/ MTCS)- A star in the making. A solid grinder who is a two way player. Will be attending Belmont, where she will make a impact for the Lady Bruins with her athleticism and versatility. She may not be big in stature, but she's going in competing for playing time on Day 1. [player_tooltip player_id='245320' first='Raven' last='Sims'] (5'9/PG/Bartlett)- Super tough kid who is staying home to play for her hometown squad the Memphis Tigers. She's reps the city and plays the game with passion. Two way player who creates havoc on both ends of the floor. Has the handles, the quickness, and length, this girl is going to impact the Lady Tigers program for years to come.
