Recruitment Update: Recent Offers & Commitments

Here are a few athletes that have either recently committed to compete at the next level or they have recently been offered to compete at the next level. Either way, these players have shown off their skill-set over the years and that has demonstrated that they have what it takes to suit up on the court following high school.    Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='336029' first='Pierre-Noelle' last='Tcheuhchoua'] of Omaha Central High School recently received her first Division-1 offer from Jackson State, a highly rated HBCU. Tcheuhchoua is a 5'11 Center/Power Forward, that does a great job of doing her work early on in a possession. She is the type that beats her opponent down the floor in transition for easy buckets, she gets back defensively to stop the opposing team from getting into the lane too easily, and she knows to create her contact early on to help her in situations near or far from the hoop. With her size, balanced coordination, physicality, and situational awareness - Tcheuhchoua is a viable option at the varsity level and she will also be a viable option at the next level within the right system.     CR - Prairie High School has been on the rise this season as they look to make a big push into the Post-season. One of the reasons for their success has been their skilled prospects at every position and their coaching to follow. One of those prospects being PF - [player_tooltip player_id='502092' first='Brynlie' last='Hadenfeldt']. Hadenfeldt is a PF with a great spin move in the lane, she possesses a calm demeanor, and she has some knowledge of what to do when in key situations of a contest. Over the years this is someone that has been a rising prospect in a lot of aspects. She has always been someone with superior talent for her age and she is really growing into her own as of late. As of most recent, U of Arkansas - Fort Smith has stepped up to offer Hadenfeldt. With a season of AAU ball left, I don't think she will be committing just yet but this is another great opportunity for her future, if she were to go this route.     We have heard about [player_tooltip player_id='788573' first='Jaylyn' last='Beran'] of Riceville the past few season because of her production on the varsity floor. Beran would be categorized as a CG with her ability to play on or off of the basketball at the guard position. For her Riceville varsity program, this is someone who does a little bit of everything. She is a main producer in the PPG, RPG, APG, and SPG numbers - demonstrating that she can really do each night. At the next level, Beran will be competing at DMACC to continue on with her basketball journey. This is going to be a great tool for her to grow before taking her talents somewhere else after her stint there. She will be able to lock into her weaknesses and work on them with other like minded players. Something that is priceless as it pertains to experience out of the floor.     A week or two ago, [player_tooltip player_id='794878' first='Asia' last='Beale'] of CR - Prairie was offered from Blackhawk CC out of the Quad Cities area. This isn't Beale's first offer and I'm sure it won't be the last - unless she ends up committing soon by some chance. For her Prairie Hawks team, Beale is someone that plays the PF/Center position at 5'8. That might sound a little crazy but with her speed and strength, it actually makes a lot of sense. This is someone that isn't afraid to mix it up with bigger players and she is very versatile in her role, wherever it may be. I've had the chance to see what Beale can do when she is asked to be the leading scorer on a team and she can take over in heart beat. If she is asked to play more of a "role" player role, she can do that very well too, never seeming to be upset about it. All in all, to have an adaptable player like this a commodity and more coaches are starting to see that, as they have watched Beale perform this Winter.     Wartburg got a little bit better last week when [player_tooltip player_id='671464' first='Katelyn' last='Aden'] of Carroll High School committed to their program for next season. If you understand the D3 level and how good some of the teams are, then you know that Wartburg always brings a seasoned product to the floor with a lot of talent at every position. Aden happens to be a player with better than average size for a CG at 6'0. At the next level, she will most likely move between the 3 and the 4 spot but who knows. Maybe she moves to the 2 spot at times depending on who is around her. At the 1A level right now, she can obviously do it all so it'll be nice to see how she fairs at the collegiate ranks, once she does get there in a few months.     Rylee McLucas may be ending her high school career at Link Academy in Missouri but growing up she was located in Nebraska so it's only right that we cover her most recent commitment. Last week McLucas committed to Hutchinson CC out of Hutchinson, Kansas. This was a school that McLucas had high on her list prior to her commitment and once she was offered, the decision was a no-brainer. This relationship should be beneficial for both parties. McLucas being a SF/CG at 6'0, that can score at all three offensive levels, as well as being a sound defender in the half court is going to be a Pro for the Dragons. On the flip side, from an individual standpoint I think this is a place that is going to help grow their prospects for the next level and McLucas will be a by-product of that over-time.
