All I need is a NON ERRONEOUS roster and I can go from there yet watching Oh My-Guards Explode on Day 2 #HeartOfTexas Oh My-Guards Explode on Day 2 #HeartOfTexas ‘ last=’Lovett’] (THS), I just added her to the next Top 100 update for the 2026 class and she’ll be on the NEW FACES article so, special S/O to @PlayerRIMedies and here ya go
Jennerson is a player I caught in middle school, no roster was available and I was given the wrong spelling by a parent so for those who don’t think NON ERRONEOUS roster ahead of time, lose my number because I lost her in the shuffle. When she stepped on the court with her new club team, I was scratching my head on how I missed her because she understands how to find ways to put the ball into the basket. Mid to long-range, check, acrobatic finishes after contact, check, make those around her better, check. Bottom line, expect a major UPGRADE before she heads to BROWN
Allen is one of those players that I mentioned in the PREVIEW and also one that I have personally seen drop double digit three pointers in games, multiple times yet she gave me a totally different look on Saturday. Yeah, the catch and shoot, the step back, the coming off the screen and draining it all were still there yet she’s attacking more aggressively and finishing stronger after contact. Her court vision was also on display
Cook had the kitchen going as she not only did a good job running the team and getting her teammates involved, she also showed how smoothly she can set the defender up and drain the jumper. I enjoy seeing her show the stop and pop in transition but her maneuvering off the dribble with a variety of moves to attack and finish was on display
Price grabbed my attention from afar as I was thinking”did I really see that” so I adjusted my seating and posted. up on her court to watch her show what it means to simple take a game over. Her acrobatic finishes after contact was special, so was her pull-up jumper on the baseline as she dropped it with a hand in her face. Her “on the ball” pressure was smothering and her ability to see the floor, the length of the floor, floored me

Weston left me speechless with her All Tournament performance at the Dynasty Region Kick-Off and her energy is contagious as it trickles over to her teammates. She is one of the most explosive guards I have seen in her class and watching her “change of pace” as well as “crossover” going full speed is a treat. She sets her teammates up for “gimmes” yet her acrobatic finishes are exciting, so is the pressure she applies defensively
Woodard continues to show her versatility, yeah I know she can score attacking the basket as well as dropping the mid to long-range yet her”poise under pressure” going against other next level players is huge as she not only handles the ball while being tightly defended, she also makes plays in clutch situations. Speaking of clutch, she wants the ball down the stretch and delivers

Birdsong was “singing a different tune” as she “flew” by players with ease to start the Saturday session at 8am. There’s nothing like getting my adrenaline going off the top and her understanding how to use her athleticism on both ends had me smiling. Her “on the ball” pressure was among the best I have seen in the event as her quick hands and playing the passing lane got her numerous steals yet her first step, coupled with nice body control got her baskets after contact. She also showed good court vision
