All United traveled from Louisiana so they will get their own evaluation
Carrine Bouie Carrine Bouie 5'10" | SF TX
Carrine Bouie Carrine Bouie 5'10" | SF TX
Bouie is “long and athletic” with catlike instincts which help enable her to not only score off the dribble but attack from multiple spots with either hand. Her body control is nice and helps her finish strongly after contact but I also liked her ballhandling under pressure in transition along with her court vision. Her timing is also nice as she blocked shots as well as played the passing lane, she hit the boards on both ends and handled the ball afterward and her upside is scary
Sofia Bowie
Sofia Bowie
Bowie is a heady point guard that understands something very important at a young age and that would be “how to run a team and control the tempo” but she also makes good decisions under pressure. Her court vision in the set was solid, she also saw the floor well in transition and seeing her thread the needle going full speed had me smiling at her “on the court” progression. When you factor in she also scored off the dribble as well as from outside, and did a good job defensively, her upside is nice
Airyanna Robertson
Airyanna Robertson
Robertson grabbed my attention a couple of seasons ago and as I think about how time flies, I also think about how she can fly by defenders with ease. Her first step in the set is very nice, yet she can turn on the turbo in transition and watching her score off balance off the dribble is always a plus. She can score from outside, her court vision and ballhandling are solid yet she’s an athletic guard that understands how to use her athleticism on both ends and her “on the ball” pressure as well as diving on the floor for loose balls were solid
Ashley Flores
Ashley Flores
Flores is doing many things ahead of her years right now and she is also showing why the game starts at the 1. Her potential to go from good to very good is high because she makes those around her better and when you can set teammates up for gimmes, direct traffic in the set as well as in the open court, that is HUGE, especially at this stage. Her HEZ coupled with a deceptive first step leaves the defender cemented at times, plus she can finish off the dribble with either hand. Her pull-up jumper from mid to long-range was also a problem
Kylie Mohammed
Kylie Mohammed
Mohammed made me change the title after finding out she was only a 7th grader and the more I see her play, the more I know something special is coming, special S/O to her grandfather for telling me about her awhile back. It helps that she has talented twin sisters who are freshmen and I can tell she’s been paying attention because she simply goes hard on both ends of the court, her on the ball pressure is smothering, in fact it had me sweating but she scores powerfully off the dribble after contact. Her court vision was nice, so was her dropping the jumper from outside
Samya Sampson
Samya Sampson
Sampson went off on opening day and I posted on Twitter “I don’t need a roster to know she’s no imposter” and when you factor in her “change of pace” coupled with her “crossover” at this stage, that in itself is going to create some issues for defenders as she gets to the basket to score however she wants. Her first step is also nice, so is her court vision plus she dies a good job defending both in the set as well as baseline to baseline
Kaycie Hanks
Kaycie Hanks
Hanks is playing up and doing some damage but let me back it up with she’s a “long and athletic” guard, which is also the base and watching her create her shot under pressure to drop the short jumper, as well as attack off the dribble was nice. Then it happened, she dropped one from NBA range, then another and still another and watching her “catch and shoot” with a hand in her face was impressive yet finding out she was still in middle school JUST DID IT for me. I asked her” so you’re a baby” her response was “no, I’m in middle school” #PRICELESS
