Continue ReadingIt’s the Holiday season and there are a lot of classic traditions that go with it. Presents under the tree are one of those yearly rituals. There’s a lot of next level talent around the state of Michigan. These skilled players could be seen as presents under the tree for a college coach. Let’s look at a few players that will be great gifts to a program.
Wells deserves more ink on a statewide level than she gets. She’s one of the smoothest athletes in the state, having the ability to glide down the floor and change direction with ease. Wells has a pure jumper that’s solid from mid range as well as from deep. Wells is an elite prospect and a national recruiting target.
Abney is a terror on the offensive end for her opponents and will be a huge addition for a coach at the next level. She can score from anywhere on the floor. Abney can attack the rim and turn the corner on her defender as well as shoot off the catch or the bounce. She was outstanding at the Prep Girls Hoops Michigan Top 250.
Highlights
There is a college coach out there right now that is going to get an absolute STEAL. Freshcorn is one of the best leaders a coach could ever want in their program. She leads both verbally and with her game. Freshcorn has shown on the PGH Circuit that she can be counted on to carry the load as both a scorer and distributor.
Highlights
LaPrairie might sneak under the radar sometimes, but not anymore for me. She nailed home her point at the David Barns Showcase in the fall. She knew she was better than what she was ranked, and she went out and proved it. LaPrairie showed solid ball skills and the ability to manufacture buckets.
Jackson has really made a statement with her play this season. It’s not about numbers with her game, it’s about the little things. Jackson plays tough on ball defense, is very efficient with the ball, and gets it to where it needs to be to start the offense. I really like her game and her upside and really see her being very successful at the next level.
Highlights
Nolan is a perfect example of what playing well on the PGH Circuit can do for an athlete. After seeing her last grassroots season, I know I’ve had some real nice things to say to college coaches. She brings consistent energy and effort to both ends of the floor. Nolan has a good feel for the game offensively and is a very opportunistic scorer.
