There’s not a player in this class that can go shot for shot with Walton, and that’s been proven over the past couple of years. With being the first high school player in Illinois history to receive and secure a NIL deal.. it puts a stamp on my statement seeing that the deal is with “Shoot-A-Way”. Northwestern has a ton of versatile guards, but they do not have a sniper like Walton. If her posititon is off the ball, she could break some records in her first year.
A top 5 shooter in this class, Bergstrom has racked up 140 threes on the year, at 33%. From right at the line to 2-4 feet back, Mia is not one to be left open. Heading to SLU this fall, her beyond the arc skillset is needed and can translate immediately. The Bilikins are only shooting about 5-6 threes a game, that should see a significant increase once Mia gets on campus.
One of the smoothest ball handlers in the state, Lexi has a many gears to her game. Shes shifty, quick, fast and aggressive.. but i think her ability and confidence behind the line will be the first to translate to NIU next season. The form is fluid, quick and has a consistency to it as well. Off the dribble, off the catch or a simple spot up shot.. Lexi has the ability to be a sharp shooter in the MAC.
Highlights
Washington has one of the most textbook forms in the state, and though she hasn’t found a home for college yet, wherever she lands will be getting a player that can knock down the ball at a high rate behind the arc. She plays and moves with pace, and knows how to be aggressive even without the ball in her hand.
Heading to a program that isn’t known for their high scoring ability, Laub 3 level skillset matched with her size should be able to provide another spark for the Black Knights offense. Throughout the year and even at the State Tournament, Hannah has shown the ability to create and make a three as well as be a spot off corner shooter. She’s just as effective off the ball as she is with it, and that can translate quickly.
