Chase showed me progression the last time I caught her at the Heart of Texas yet her progression from the few times I had seen her really grabbed me. I guess her “poise under pressure” and handling the ball while being guarded tightly to make the correct decisions played a part on my adding her yet being “heady and under control” no matter what are good signs. Her court vision in the set as well as in transition are solid and she can score both off the dribble as well as from outside
Lewis showed me quite a few things in a span of 4 months this season starting in September at a Pass Tha Ball event and the last time at the Peggy Whitley Classic sealed her being added. I love her energy, she’s an athletic guard that understands how to use her athleticism on both ends of the court but she’s solid enough to run a team and when you understand how to control the tempo, that’s huge but in a blink of an eye, she shifts gears to take over offensively. Her first step is explosive, so is her pull-up jumper which she can drop with a hand in her face yet her “on the ball” pressure baseline to baseline helps to create turnovers
Brannon also had a great Peggy Whitley Classic and showed me she had turned several corners. She caught my attention at a camp prior to entering high school and I said I was going to add her a year ago after her initial Peggy Whitley Classic yet I didn’t and I have my reasoning but what she brings to the table is something that can’t be taught and watching her dive on the floor for loose balls gets her the #THROWBACK hashtag. She a tough defender with quick hands, that helps her come away with steals, she also gets steals another way, by playing the passing lane. Her decision making while running the 1 has been more than solid as she’s setting her teammates up nicely for good looks yet she’s also taking the defender off the dribble, with either hand to score as well as dropping it from outside
Highlights
Kelly had me open the vault to when I saw her in middle school and her improvement over the past couple of seasons has not gone overlooked. Recently, I talked about her team at the Sandra Meadows Classic and I mentioned something very important many will never comprehend and that was she understands how to get hers “in the flow”. She is a key component on whatever team she plays on and does so many things that may not show up on a score or stat sheet however watching her be more offensive minded and draining the 3, wait, stop the presses. Here’s what I said on my initial sighting , nothing like using the search bar
