We are up to 94 rising seniors ranked and with a big list, there is bound to be some sleepers that not many are aware of.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Here are some of the senior sleepers I viewed:</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='674281' first='Cass' last='Coolidge'] Sahuaro   A true inside and out versatile forward was one of my favorites I viewed at Section-7. She can rebound inside and defend. Then play out on the perimeter to defend and shoot it from the three. She plays smartly off the pick and roll game and a good brand of ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='556578' first='AJ' last='Lual'] Salpointe Catholic   One of the tallest players in the class and definitely in Tucson. She runs the floor, scores it inside but is a defensive player first. She rebounds and block shots at a good rate and will occasionally step out and shoot it.   [player_tooltip player_id='582422' first='Kimi' last='Cahoon'] Pheonix Country Day   The junior standouts get a lot of the attention but Cahoon is very important to the teams success. She runs the team but also defends at a high level bothering her opponents up the length of the court. She will dime her teammates, shoot the three and burst to the basket.   [player_tooltip player_id='674279' first='Ny'Anza' last='Brown'] Sahuaro   One of the stronger downhill guards in Tucson. She seems to get downhill at will. She takes contact well with her frame and will defend on the ball, rebound and be a pest on the ball defensively. She can shoot it from mid to the three point line plus facilitate.   [player_tooltip player_id='655613' first='Gosi' last='Alilonu'] Xavier College Prep   A physical power forward who hasn't played heavy minutes yet on varsity with all their size but she is tough to handle. She uses her long arms, strength and motor to rebound and will score the ball in the paint. She is very physical to box out and grab every ball near her and will sprint the court.   [player_tooltip player_id='608254' first='Morningrain' last='Honani'] Flagstaff   A highly competitive defensive lead guard. She is tough and will defend the length of the court with quick feet and hands. She has a tight handle to get past the defense to the paint and will score it or pass to an open teammate. She leaves it all on the line every game she plays.   [player_tooltip player_id='205684' first='Kristen' last='Valdez'] Sahuaro   A scoring lead guard takes a lot of pressure off of her teammates as she handles pressure, scores the ball, space the floor and will make plays. She has a polished floater game and shoots the ball at a good clip from the stripe.   [player_tooltip player_id='530981' first='Ariella' last='Goren'] Dream City   An almost old school pure point guard is always looking to make plays and get her teammates involved. She can catch and shoot from the arc with a pretty stroke but will often get in the lane and find the cutter or the open shooter. She has a nice runner and plays the game from the neck up.   [player_tooltip player_id='605082' first='Lea' last='Llamas'] Pima (Pictured)   A scoring guard can handle the ball but she is looking to put the ball in the basket for the Roughriders. She has good speed in the open court with the ball and can create her own offense. She can pull-up off the dribble from mid to the three and will be one of the seniors they will lean on this year. She is always upbeat on the court.
