Day 2 New Faces #PBRTXFinale

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I speak about not having the right information, in fact, I even contacted some to find out who certain players were yet no response since I get irritated, I have some players that should be on here but are not which brings in another question. Why are you doing this, especially during the viewing period yet since I've been involved, I've always been about the kids so here are some players from Day 2 I knew little or nothing about</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Madison Harris-5'10 SF (Sam Houston) Southern Metroplex Athletics [2023]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris was one of many standouts I caught from the organization during the viewing period and she just went hard on both ends falling into that "never takes a play-off" category. She scored off the dribble and BATTLED for everything off the rim. She had help as 2023 teammate <strong>Sophia Cortez-5'7 SF (Sam Houston) </strong>gets the #THRO[program_tooltip program_id='715726' first='WBA' last='']CK for outrebounding taller players and scoring around the basket</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Aaliyah Rose-5'5 PG (Lincoln) </strong>and <strong>Makiya Claiborne-5'3 PG (Del City)</strong> added fire and depth to the <strong>Southern Metroplex Athletics</strong> backcourt because not only are they both athletic, they understand how to play defense. The seniors "on the ball" pressure created turnovers galore. Rose attacked from anywhere she wanted to finish while Claiborne dropped the jumper and saw the floor</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hunt United 16U National</strong> had a couple of <strong>2025</strong> players that stood out. <strong>Christina Webb-5'5 PG (Centennial)</strong> and <strong>Malaiyah Foster-5'6 PG (Central) </strong>left a lasting impression. Webb handled the ball and saw the floor under pressure while managing to use a deceptive first step to attack and finish or attack and dish. Foster used her athleticism on both ends, scoring off the dribble and finishing after the lick, and dropping the short jumper as well as the DEEP one. She also applied pressure defensively </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kirbi Simpson-5'8 SG (Amarillo) [program_tooltip program_id='712536' first='Hoop' last='10'] Premier [2024]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Simpson is "long and athletic" and one more time, that is the base. I watched her create her shot over and over under pressure and she did a good job attacking and finishing after contact as well as showing the pull-up jumper. She saw the floor and played within herself which means she didn't force shots and understood how to get hers "in the flow" </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zoi McClennan-6'0 C (Timberview) [program_tooltip program_id='713138' first='Lady' last='Razorbacks Elite'] [2024]</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McClennan understands how to use her "next-level frame" around the basket. She showed good hands and footwork while finishing around the rim, as well as dropping the short jumper. I also enjoyed her running the floor after rebounding, sometimes igniting the break, and finishing on the other end. <strong>Tamaiya Mims-5'8 SG</strong> and <strong>Chrishawn Coleman-5'7 SF </strong>are also McClennan's high school teammates as well as from the <strong>2024</strong> class. Mims brought plenty of pressure "on the ball" and helped create turnovers but she used her athleticism wisely and thinks the game. Coleman showed a solid first step and attacked the basket from multiple angles to either score or dish. She also played the passing lane</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[program_tooltip program_id='712928' first='Team' last='Fusion'] Elect </strong>gave me a variety of players that <strong>JUST DID IT </strong>for me, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='468911' first='Aniya' last='Joseph']</strong> was added to the <strong>2024 Top 100</strong> and <strong>Jasmin Holt </strong>will be added to the<strong> 2023 </strong>list. <strong>Fatime Seck-5'11 (Franklin</strong>) and <strong>Maya Contreras-6'2 (San Elizario) </strong>are both long and athletic forwards. Seck showed the jumper as well as good timing to block, alter and (or) deflect shots. Contreras hit the boards on both ends, finished around the basket, and did a good job defending, both in and outside the paint. <strong>Leslie Mojica-5'8 PG (Address)</strong> was tenacious on defense and dropped the jumper in the set and in the transition while <strong>Priscilla Diaz-5'1 PG (Burgess)</strong> showed one more time that size doesn't matter and not only did she do a good job controlling the tempo, she joined teammate <strong>Sophiya Bustillos</strong>, who made a previous article, in dropping it from DEEP</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
