2023 Top Performers #I35HSShowdown

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These are the TOP PERFORMERS who have committed or are on the verge of committing. Austin High has 3 D1 commits meaning they are going to make a run for not only district champion but a possible Region 4 championship, meaning they'll be heading to state in 6A but I'll revisit that after seeing more of the region</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='65926' first='Sammie' last='Wagner']-6'0 G/F (Reagan) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wagner is ranked #1 in Texas and after recently decomitting from Texas, she still has BCS offers on the table. Initially committing to Baylor prior to entering high school, a coaching change had her open things up, as she does on the court. Wagner could drop 30 a game in high school, she's just that good, and when you factor in her size and skill-set, yeah mid to long-range but she continues to show she's a complete player by rebounding as well as seeing the floor and setting teammates up for easy looks</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jade Clack-6'1 SF (Austin) TCU Commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Clack will be added to the Top 100 with a strong debut and I hadn't seen her since going into her freshman season yet I saw enough to know she's Top 20 easily. Long and athletic, she scored off the dribble almost effortlessly, yes after contact but she also created her shot under pressure and knocked the midrange. Her DESIRE on the boards did not go unnoticed as she rebounded on both ends, plus her defense, both on the interior as well as outside the paint was solid</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='204175' first='Shanel' last='Reid']-5'10 SG (Austin) SMU commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reid drops it from, well anywhere she wants and with her range coupled with her quick release, she is a mismatch waiting to happen, and here's why. She can post up and (or) elevate over smaller guards to score, the midrange is nice and she can take taller players off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='204174' first='Aubrey' last='Reid']-5'10 SG/SF (Austin) UTA commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reid is also a fierce rebounder, on both ends of the court and scored numerous ways around the basket including putbacks. She scores facing the basket as well as off the dribble yet her strength wears the offensive player she's guarding as she defends strongly </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='96133' first='Aysia' last='Proctor']-5'8 CG (Clemens) UTSA commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Proctor is still one you don't want to Gamble against, yeah I'm not got be using that "play on words" much longer as she's heading up the road after this season but one thing I must say is that she kept elevating her game. I remember her former club coach bragging about her when I first caught his squad and how good she was, she was out with an injury. Low and behold, he was right, she doesn't force shots yet she knocks them down mid to long and off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='96134' first='Layla' last='Conley']-5'8 SG (Harlan) Rice commit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Conley also was on the same squad with Proctor and left a lasting first impression, 6 NBA-range three-pointers in a row, in the 8th grade playing an older team is something I don't forget. What I love is that she has become more than just a long ball threat, she scores from midrange and attacks with either hand to finish after contact </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
