<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The Mardis Gras All-Tourney 2nd-Team from #BasketballOnTheBayou23 has been released, and here are my thoughts on the well-deserving ladies…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":731483,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/PGH-Vivian-Iwuchukwu-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-731483" width="256" height="256" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Vivian Iwuchukwu</strong> (6'4/PF/'24/Essence Purple EYBL) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: thevivianiwuchukwu</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @vivi_hoops</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The first thing you notice about Vivian is that she has good positional size. The second thing you notice is that she is extremely versatile on both ends of the floor. Offensively she is a match-up nightmare and is always aggressively looking for her shot. The frequency in which Viv gets to the rim is mind-blowing, and her length and wingspan make shooting over defenders very easy. She is a play-finisher either when she is finishing off her drives or off her back-to-basket game off the low block. She also is a play-finisher with her activity on the offensive glass and putbacks. She is a very talented athlete and a gifted scorer whom teams are paying close attention to as she enters her senior campaign. Vivian listed that she has the following offers:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">&nbsp;Arizona</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Georgia</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Florida</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Texas A&amp;M</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">University of Southern California</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":731484,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/PGH-Andrea-Elise-Sturdivant-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-731484" width="256" height="256" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Andrea Elise Sturdivant</strong>  (5'7/PG/'25/CyFair Premier 2025 National) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @AndreaSturdiva2</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">The first game that I saw Andrea, I just kept saying to myself that she needed to settle into the game as she was pressing early. When she finally settled in, she was a steady force at the lead guard spot. She has a good balance between scoring and facilitating but make no mistake, Andrea can score the rock, and she gets it done at multiple levels. It is hard to slow her down when she gets going, and she can hurt you from behind the arc and off the bounce. She has a knack for drawing fouls and getting to the line. She is a prototypical point guard that has all the quickness, agility, and athleticism you could want at the lead guard spot in today's game. Here is some game film on Andrea:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2KUfDy">http://www.hudl.com/v/2KUfDy</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":731485,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/PGH-Jayla-Jackson-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-731485" width="256" height="256" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Jayla Jackson</strong> (6'1/SG/'26/Team Takeover 17U EYBL) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Jayla has an all-around game and impacts the game across the stat sheet. She has good positional size and was an excellent complementary back-court mate to Madison McDaniel. Jayla is a reliable ball-handler that can be a secondary playmaker and initiator of the offense. She is a two-way player that gives both ends of the floor a lot of energy and effort. She is an active on-ball defender who is disruptive with her quick and active hands. Jayla is a '26 kid playing up on one of the biggest stages of the summer season, but she showed enough athleticism to hold her own and garner attention from the eyes of those at the next level. Her production was consistent and impactful throughout the entire tourney.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":731487,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/PGH-Kerbie-Cash-C-1.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-731487" width="256" height="256" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Kerbie Cash </strong>(6'0/G|F/'24/SA Finest 17u Gold) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Twitter: @CashKerbie</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">I have already put ink on Kerbie, but I will say that she is a talented wing player that showed a high IQ. I would not say she is the quickest or most athletic, but she is one of the most skilled players with a bag full of tools. She plays to her strengths, and she plays physical. She's a good ball handler who can get to her spots, and she creates good separation in order to get her shot off. Kerbie is a player that can play on and off the ball but is also a player that can be trusted to steward possessions as both a scorer and a playmaker. Kerbie listed that she has the following offers:&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Midwestern State University</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Texas A&amp;M Kingsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">East Texas Baptist University</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"left","id":731488,"width":256,"height":256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/07/PGH-Taylor-Barner-C.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-731488" width="256" height="256" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Taylor Barner </strong>(5'8/PG/'24/BWSL 17U EYBL) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Instagram: taylorbarner.24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Taylor is a really intriguing point guard prospect who showed her ability to create off the bounce. She does all the things you would expect from a true lead guard, but she does it with lightning speed and a quick burst when going from slow to fast. She showed her ability to be a multi-level scorer, but she likes to get to the cup off the bounce. She has a mature game, and she makes others around her better. As good as she was on the offensive end of the floor, she was just as good on the defensive end. She can orchestrate and provide scoring and is highly productive at both. She plays at a nice cadence, and she keeps her team fluid.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
