Comfort On The Road This Spring

Playing on the road can be tough for some and simple for others. Some player just seem to hoop really well when they have to travel and that could be for a number of different reasons.   In this article we discuss five players that have been showing out on the road this AAU season so far for their program. They have all done some impressive things up to this point and they are looking to continue with that domination moving into the future.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    This AAU season has been a notable one for [player_tooltip player_id='880909' first='Kami' last='Clark'] of the [program_tooltip program_id='714272' first='Iowa' last='Battlers'] 15U program. Clark has been killing the game in transition, making coast-to-coast takes look simple. She is competing with great pace-of-play. All while being someone that can also eat on the defensive end. She does fairly well at the 2 spot, playing off the ball as her team's SG, depending on the given situation as well. I'm expecting a big season ahead this Winter for Clark at Carlisle High School. If she continues to stay aggressive, she should put up some eye-opening numbers for her Sophomore campaign.     [player_tooltip player_id='865482' first='Alijah' last='Stabler'] of NE Attack UAA has picked up right where she left off from this past Winter's High School season and that is playing some awesome basketball. Stabler, a 5'7 PG, is you definition of a go-getter. This is a hooper with a ton of talent and future potential. She can kill you off the dribble and turn that into a clean assists or easy look for herself. She can score off the catch with her jumper from all offensive levels and she never seems to make the "wrong" play. She makes great choices when things boil down and it's noteworthy. Stabler just received one of her first collegiate offers to compete after high school with many more to come in the near future. She has been killing it on the road these past few months and I expect that continue moving forward.     I was not expecting [player_tooltip player_id='884235' first='Shayla' last='Rautenberg'] to dunk in her warmup's on Sunday Morning but that's what we saw coming from the right wing off of one-foot. Rautenberg, a 6'1 PF, is starting to shape into a D1 prospect on the Volleyball court and that just speaks to her athletic ability. When you take this ability and pair it with natural size + coordination, you get a baller in this field. Someone who is a force underneath the bucket on both ends. Rautenberg showed that this past season on the Varsity floor. That she will continuously be someone that others have to deal with in the middle over the next three years. She has the reach and aggressive prowess to disrupt anyone trying to attack the middle on a consistent basis. I'm not sure where Rautenberg is going to go from here but I'm sure that she will have a lot of collegiate interest in both sports depending on what she wants to do.     The [program_tooltip program_id='712617' first='Lady' last='Pure Prep'] 17U program is loaded up with some college level talent across the board. Someone that is a very interesting prospect at this point is [player_tooltip player_id='667440' first='Dylan' last='Peterson']. Peterson can really hoop when she is motivated and she has the confidence of her coaching staff behind her. I saw it first hand to start off this AAU season and that's kept on pace throughout the Spring so far. She competes at the PG spot and has been doing a thorough job of making the others around her better, as she plays respectable ball in her own right. She is hitting cutters, finding open teammates with ease, and making sure that everyone gets involved. Three things you love to see out of your PG. I hope that Peterson gets a chance to continue to shine. Like we said, if she has the confidence of her staff behind her and the ball in her possession a good amount, she could make somethings happen.     Where does [player_tooltip player_id='753080' first='Mollie' last='Probasco'] go from here? Probasco has had some notable contest this AAU season on the road with her [program_tooltip program_id='779942' first='ETG' last='Midwest [program_tooltip program_id='713325' first='Elite' last=''] 3SSB'] team. This group is loaded with some talent that will play at the next level one day so to shine above all definitely says something and that's what Probasco does in some contests. There are times where she is unconscious from the field on offense, while being a sound prospect on defense. She doesn't make too many mistakes and usually does a good job of holding her own. At this point her game is becoming more well-rounded by each second she competes out on the floor. As long as she continues to stay mentally locked in, she should continue to be someone we hear about.
