AAU SZN In Review: Respectable On The Road

This article contains five prospects from the states of either Iowa or Nebraska, that put together respectable individual campaigns for their AAU programs the past six months.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    [player_tooltip player_id='865482' first='Alijah' last='Stabler'] showed out these past six months on the road with her [program_tooltip program_id='712709' first='Nebraska' last='Attack'] UAA team. Stabler is your definition of a good PG. She does the simple things really well and she understands how to control a contest through pace of play. She isn't afraid to push the ball down the floor for some quick action or she can back it out and run her team's system. Either way, it looks legit when observing from an outside perspective. Stabler should be proud of the AAU season she just put together. She received some D2 offers throughout because of her play on the road and that speaks volumes more than anything else.     42-0. That's the record that the AIA 15U EYBL team has had the past two years. Yeah, you saw that correctly. 42-0. Their closest game came this year at Summer Jam when they were only up 6 at halftime against another top circuit opponent. In the end, they won the contest by 15+ so you get the point. A vital factor for this team the past two years has been SG - [player_tooltip player_id='880913' first='Kelli' last='Kalb']. Kalb has natural length, quick first steps, a flawless shooting stroke from all distances from the bucket, and because of her size - she is pretty versatile defensively. She can switch onto smaller or bigger, depending on what is needed in that possession. With it being Fall now, Kalb has more time to get into the lab after another success year of travel ball with the best 15U team in the Country.     [player_tooltip player_id='884847' first='Olivia' last='Baker'] changed AAU team this Spring season to compete with [program_tooltip program_id='779942' first='ETG' last='Midwest [program_tooltip program_id='713325' first='Elite' last=''] 3SSB'] out of Nebraska and she did fairly well at holding her own on the road. Baker, a 5'9 CG, seems like a natural scorer. I haven't seen it enough yet in her early career but there is a ton of promise here. Other than scoring, Baker has a great feel for how to play and win basketball games. She is really intelligent on both sides of the ball and that shines through in meaningful situations. I'm not sure if Baker is going to have a Varsity chance this upcoming Winter at Des Moines but I could see it. They will need to replace a ton of production so we will see but for Baker individually, she just needs to keep working. If she stays motivated, she will be college committed somewhere before you know it.     I would categorize [player_tooltip player_id='777559' first='Haydin' last='Jackson'] as a shooter. Someone that wants to let it fly whenever she touches it from the outside within reason and when she is on, she is ON. She can go off in the blink of an eye. She is one of those that just needs to see one go in and then you could be in trouble for the rest of the game. As Jackson continues to grow with her game, consistency on offense will determine where she will be able to compete in college. She is soldi defensively so I'm not worried about that side of things. She just needs to lock in this Fall into making X amount of shots a day. If she does that, she might be a main reason whey Bennington high school makes it back to the State Tournament this upcoming Spring.     212 Academy has some notable players. Every year they have a few individuals that stand out, this season it was [player_tooltip player_id='1154191' first='Brynn' last='Clarahan'] of Sigourney High School. Clarahan is a guard that stands out for her team each contest in some sort of way. Offensively, she can get to the basket and finish through contact off the dribble, she can facilitate for others, or she can run her team's system to a T. Defensively, she puts in a good effort. She has active hands and that leads to tips/defections throughout a ball-game. Overall, a season to be proud of by Clarahan.
