A Weekend In Review

This past few weeks has been a whirlwind of AAU action happening across the Nation with it being a Live Viewing Period for College programs. I have been stationed in Chicago for EYBL Nike Nationals but it looks like the state of Nebraska is really putting on at their particular events.   Here are a few players that have been making waves on the road the past couple of days.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [program_tooltip program_id='715717' first='Nebraska' last='Supreme'] made it pretty far in the Select 24 Bracket Play and a big reason for that was the play of SF - Avah Underwood. Underwood has controlled the paint each contest on both ends. Offensively she is making her easy opportunities by the bucket on both blocks, while limiting her dribbles and time of possession. Defensively, Underwood has been someone opponents have to worry about. If not, it's a blocked or alter attempts by the defense. Wayne State secured a good prospect in Underwood for their future. If she continues to stay motivated in this game, she is going produce at the next level before you know it.     We mentioned [player_tooltip player_id='759026' first='Charlee' last='Richter'] last week because of her recent collegiate offers to compete at the next level. Well Richter has followed up this impressive week by putting together a memorable weekend to finish off her high school AAU journey. Richter was lighting it up from all over the floor off the catch with her shooting ability. She was hitting shots on rotation at a high rate, while also being someone that would try to rebound, defend, and assist like her life depended on it. I'm not sure if college basketball is going to be Richter's choice but she will have some options at the end of the day. She produces as a steady rate and that helps her standout whenever she is on the road. That's why she has these offers so I can't wait to see where she chooses when things get closer to that time.     I think it's safe to say that [player_tooltip player_id='884234' first='Da'Nyla' last='Tatum'] of ETG Midwest [program_tooltip program_id='713325' first='Elite' last=''] 3SSB has proven this AAU season that she is legit. Her feel for the game, the way she moves down the floor, and her ability to understand situational awareness on the court helps her thrive. It doesn't matter what state she is on or what team she is on, when Tatum is playing with the ball in her hands, everyone else is better. That fact gets lost on some individuals. It's very tough to be the #1 rated player out of your Class when you don't make others around you better so it's important that she checks off that box for college coaches. At the 3SSB finals, Tatum has been doing what she can. She is playing respectable ball and her team is winning. Two things that mean a lot at this point in the process.     [player_tooltip player_id='1045014' first='Landri' last='Gates'] was a standout these past few days in Des Moines with her [program_tooltip program_id='712711' first='Nebraska' last='Lasers'] program. Gates is a 5'7 CG, that is extremely active on and off of the ball. She is someone that likes to possess it coming down the floor but with her athletic ability, she is pretty solid when she cuts into space around her defenders. Gates was a constant this weekend time and time again. She put together a memorable weekend to end her AAU season on, giving her some momentum moving into this Winer at Norris High School.     [player_tooltip player_id='884638' first='Stevie' last='Harley'] just put together an AAU season to remember with her Team Durant EYBL program. Harley, the dominant 5'11 SF, was a killer during high school ball but I needed to see her offensive game round out a little bit more to stick near the Top 5 for the 2028 Class. It seems like Harley heard this remark as this Summer has been a complete 180. Harley is killing it on the EYBL Circuit with her length, quick first step, and her willingness to mix it up with anyone else physically on offense. She is showing her dominant-self and her true potential, which you love to see. It's also been stated that Harley will NOT return to Nebraska for high school ball following all of this. She will be headed out of state to be closer to family. A switch up that is sure to get her some more eyes from the next level as time continues on.
