Colorado Live Showcase: Notable Forwards from Friday

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morgen Delap - Rocky Mountain - 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Delap was an efficient finisher around the rim, proving physical going through contact. Standing right around 6' tall, the power forward was a valuable frontcourt scoring threat, typically getting quality looks following bounce passes through traffic. Delap utilized her physicality on the defensive glass, seeking box outs and proving to be all too strong to be moved off her spots.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='720186' first='Glorielle' last='Mukeba'] - Eaglecrest - 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mukeba was a pleasant surprise on the defensive end, proving quick at rotations and contesting shots without fouling. At roughly 6' tall, the big held her own in the post, proving sturdy against opposing post scorers. On top of the defensive skill set has been her rebounding intensity, maneuvering around to crash the glass at all times. Mukeba will be incredibly valuable for Eaglecrest's frontcourt defense, given her size and intuitive defensive positioning. Her potential growth on the offensive end will be very worth tracking, given her positional size.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='374160' first='Mason' last='Borcherding'] - Legend - 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Borcherding was highly impactful in the paint, both on the glass and in the low post. Standing right around 6' tall, the power forward was very active getting to shot attempts at the basket, getting to her pivot foot to get to drop steps for ambidextrous finishes around the rim. The incoming junior has a quick second jump going for putbacks and rebounding opportunities, proving to have soft touch with either hand around the rim.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='216675' first='Elizabeth' last='Gentry'] - Arapahoe - 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior power forward was easily one of the most impactful frontcourt prospects in attendance. Getting to tough shot attempts in the mid-post, Gentry showcased fadeaways over immediate closeouts. Alongside her mid-post game, the forward was stretching out the floor beyond the arc, hitting a few jumpers off the catch. Her dominance was inside the paint, proving too strong in the post, going both ways. She sought post ups against opposing forwards, backing them down with ease and creating opportunities for strong hand finishes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='329351' first='Brihanna' last='Crittendon'] - Riverdale Ridge - 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Crittendon was nothing short of dominant at this event, scoring efficiently at the rim and showing upside through her off the dribble shotmaking. Standing right around 6 '4, the forward did a little bit of everything at this event, playmaking, scoring, and defensive notability. Her scoring off the bounce was an interesting wrinkle for her, getting to step back jumpers and stepping into pull-ups in the mid-range. As her shooting ability continues to progress, there are fewer opportunities to slow her down, given her three level scoring potential. Crittendon's outlet passing was on full display, slinging multiple well timed 3 ⁄ 4 court passes for easy layups at the rim.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='322869' first='Grace' last='Roscoe'] - Mountain Vista - 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roscoe showed efficiency around the rim as a play finisher out of the pick and roll. The center was a strong screen setter, creating plenty of space for perimeter playmakers and shotmakers. While diving towards the rim, she showed soft touch around the basket, finishing especially strong through contact with her right hand.&nbsp;Mountain Vista brings a mix of incoming underclassmen and returning upperclassmen, certainly an intriguing group down the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
