Under The Radar Soon To Be Senior Guards To Offer

These five rising senior guards may be flying under the radar, but they have what it takes to compete at the next level and would be valuable additions to a college program.    Moore had a season to remember under first-year Head Coach David Meadows, finishing with a 20-5 record and [player_tooltip player_id='647295' first='Natalya' last='Pitts'] was one of the main reasons why. She led the team in scoring, averaging 14 points along with 5.4 rebounds per game. A lead guard with an athletic frame, Natalya impacts the game in a variety of ways. She can score, rebound, create for others, and impose her will on the defensive end. She's a well-rounded player who will no doubt benefit a college program. (Photo Above)     Lilly only appeared in five games during her junior season at Central Hardin but competed at a high level throughout the AAU season with [program_tooltip program_id='712782' first='Richmond' last='Heat']. I've always been impressed with her ability to shoot the three-ball, but in my most recent viewing, she served as the primary ball handler and showed she can facilitate as well, finding teammates for quality looks while also creating opportunities for herself off the dribble. She's a great teammate who clearly loves the game and is dedicated to getting better.     Maddy had a strong junior campaign in her first season with the Mercy Jaguars after transferring from Assumption. She was the team's second-leading scorer, averaging 8 points per game while shooting nearly 40% from three. Maddy played a key role in helping Mercy capture the 24th District title, win the 6th Region, and make a Sweet 16 appearance. She's effective both on and off the ball, a deadeye shooter, a good passer, a steady ball handler, and can hold her own defensively.     Akiyah is a player I've watched closely over the years, and she's always been a joy to see on the court. She led Bryan Station with 15.5 points per game last season and earned All-City Second Team honors. Akiyah plays with passion and energy, she's a streaky shooter from deep but truly excels at getting to the rim. She makes strong, aggressive takes and has a knack for drawing contact, often finishing through it or earning trips to the free-throw line. A big senior season looks to be on the horizon for her.     Kaylee is a good-sized guard with impressive length. She has a quick, repeatable release and can heat up quickly from deep. Kaylee is a high-IQ player, handles the ball well, and has great court vision, delivering crisp passes to set up her teammates. On defense she displays really good lateral quickness and keeps the ball in front of her. She averaged 8.3 points and 3.1 rebounds per game last season, and from what I saw this summer, she's primed for a big senior campaign.

These five rising senior guards may be flying under the radar, but they have what it takes to compete at the next level and would be valuable additions to a college program.
