2024 Rankings Update: New Names Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's part 2 of the <strong>NEW FACES</strong> to enter the Top 100 and always remember the best way to be recognized is to be in<strong> FRONT OF ME. </strong>I see players posting offers online and I'm sure most of them are real, social media has been a game changer with self-promoters taking advantage of situations and manipulating the system so with that being said, <strong>I HAVE TO SEE YOU FOR MYSELF</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='674626' first='Momina' last='Kasim']-5'10 SG (CE King)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">#78</mark></strong> Kasim is a long and athletic guard, that also falls into the base category but watching her on the court progression over the years has been special as she has gone from basically being a role player early to a legitimate scoring threat. She attacks the basket strongly and finishes after contact yet she uses her athleticism on the defensive end by not only playing the passing lane but "on the ball" heat. What JUST DID IT for me was watching her elevate on her jumper, mid to long-range, while being defended </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='581035' first='Rylyn' last='Gilmore']-5'8 CG (Red Oak)</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">#82</mark></strong> Gilmore left a lasting impression when I caught her at the <strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2023/01/sandra-meadows-classic-2024-day-1-standouts/">Sandra Meadows Classic </a></strong>and her poise under pressure was enough for me to know she would be on my short list of players to be added at some point. Speaking of point, she did a good job running the 1 yet handling the pressure that was sent to her without flinching had me smiling. She controlled the tempo, was vocal on the court, and even directed traffic yet her court vision also stood out. She dropped the jumper and also attacked the basket to score and played solid defense</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='675503' first='Paris' last='Nixon']-5'6 PG (Beaumont Westbrook)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">#90</mark></strong> Nixon is a player I always tell others "I cannot tell a lie" about her ability and although most of you are clueless on how that tied in, understand this, she's one of the best-kept secrets in Texas. She's heady and understands how to set the defender up smoothly and watching her not only take the defender off the dribbler to score after contact, but she's also a player that understands how to CREATE contact. Her court vision starts at the other end of the floor, I've seen several 40-foot passes in traffic "on the money" yet her jumper from mid to long-range is also money</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='674630' first='Khloe' last='Vaughn']05'9 PG (Klein Oak)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">#97</mark></strong> Vaughn grabbed my attention over a decade ago, I coached her aunt and caught her dribbling at one of our games and even then her ballhandling was impressive yet I'm a REAL EVALUATOR and I just know things like her improvement every year to go with her "mental toughness" has been special. She falls into that "prototype point guard" group that understands the importance of getting her teammates involved and her ability to run a team is second to none. She sees the floor in the set as well as in transition yet she also can take over a game offensively when needed by dropping the mid to long-range as well as scoring off the dribble</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='674685' first='Mya' last='Wesley']-5'7 CG (Stephenville)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">#99</mark></strong> Wesley caught my eye a couple of seasons ago yet I hadn't seen her until she attended an Individual Showcase I put on every year with [program_tooltip program_id='712407' first='Austin' last='Elite'],<strong><a href="https://girlzprepreport.com/24-all-eyez-on-me-2024-standouts/"> All Eyez On Me</a></strong>. Let me cut to the chase one more time, I have to <strong>SEE IT FOR MYSELF,</strong> I don't copy what anyone else says yet she came in with the <strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">"whatever you heard about me is true"</mark></strong> mindset as she immediately stood out by not only going hard on both ends, her "on the ball" pressure and diving for loose balls was one thing, she scored however she wanted, mid to long range and off the dribble. Her unselfishness also stood out as she looked for the best shot when she ran the 1 and hit her teammates for gimmes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='509654' first='Aaliyah' last='Scott']-5'6 PG (Lewisville)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><mark class="has-inline-color has-primary-color">#100</mark></strong> Scott had people yelling GREAT SCOTT on the PGH Circuit and several college coaches commented on her demeanor and not being flustered no matter what and I agree. Not only does she handle the heat, but she also relishes whatever is thrown at her. Being "heady" and showing she's a "coach on the court" has always stood out to me but her jumper has gotten better, and so has her range. She scores off the dribble, the deceptive first step plays a part in that yet she can also dish while attacking. She understands when to slow it down as well as when to push it and her defensive pressure is also solid </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/texas/rankings/2024-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em>Click here to view the updated 2024 Texas Rankings!</em></strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
