Teuton helped lead her squad to the second round yet what’s even more impressive is that I had no idea that their post, Jordan Mays Jordan Mays 6’3″ | C Travis | 2024 State TX , was out for the season, another special S/O to Coach Trey for that info. Teuton has always shown a knack for being able to “run a team” and when you’re heady, skilled and under control, that’s a solid foundation for a point guard because the game has and always will start at the 1
Highlights
Green has been on the scene for more than a minute yet watching her handle pressure in round 3 had me smiling. She scored both off the dribble and with the midrange yet “it’s how she did it” which was even more impressive. She’s fearless so pressure is irrelevant yet she’s also a “long and athletic” guard which is going to place her in the “nightmare to defend” category.

Cramer continues to find ways to impress me and her “poise under pressure” has remained constant each time I caught her. She handles the ball and shows good court vision while being defended, she also does a good job creating her shot to attack the basket or drop the jumper yet her “on the ball” defense was solid when I caught her on Livestream last week

Burrow has given me a glimpse on what’s coming and her UPSIDE is intriguing because she stands just under “the magic number” yet is showing signs of playing over it. Solid positioning helps because she uses that to outrebound taller players, her interior defense will also be a plus yet I have seen her not only score around the basket but put it on the floor and attack

Hobbin is another player that is just under “the magic number” yet plays above it, and some. Watching her dive for loose balls gets her the #THROWBACK hashtag but she also showed timing to throwback a shot attempt. Her interior defense was solid, she also rebounded on both ends of the floor and showed she could score aroud the basket
