What Their Highlight Tape Says About Them

Now that we have moved into Winter break we have several prospects across the state posting their highlight tapes from the beginning of the season on different platforms on social media. Here are a few of those players and this is what their highlight tape says so far.   Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    The truth is that [player_tooltip player_id='832211' first='Cora' last='Sauer'] is not doing anything crazy to find success to begin her Junior season. Offensively, Sauer is making open shots off of screening action, she is taking it to the rack off the dribble with simple picks up once she is deep within the defense for easy finishes, and she is hitting others that are open around her at a steady rate. Defensively, she is staying annoying and glued to her matchup whenever instructed. Overall there is a lot to like about Sauer. She is definitely a college level player someday in the near future.     [player_tooltip player_id='1108474' first='Tatum' last='Sauer'] might only be a Freshman this season but she is playing like an upperclassman so far for Lake Millers. Sauer comes in as a 5'9 Guard and she is primarily a scoring threat right now for her team. She can do a little bit of it all on both ends but she is really standing out as a high-class shooter and finisher at the basket. It doesn't matter if Sauer is shooting off the catch or dribble, as long as she is stepping into her shot from deep, it usually always looks like a good attempt coming off of her hand. There is a lot of skill her for a prospect of this age. If she keeps working over her years, I'm sure the best is still yet to come.     [player_tooltip player_id='833954' first='Claire' last='Storhoff'] is just a straight up gamer. Anyway that she can help her team, she will on either side of the basketball, no questions asked and that stands out to people watching from the next level. Storhoff has only been back two games from injury and she is slowly putting things together but she has looked productive so far. She has been assisting as her team's attacker from the outside, she is rebounding and pushing tempo down the floor for easy looks in transition, and she even posting up whenever she can for simple buckets over smaller defenders that get in her way. It's going to be a journey for Storhoff until she graduates to get back to her old form but nevertheless, she looks to be back in action with a solid base to build on and that's all that matters.     The move of [player_tooltip player_id='764451' first='Macey' last='O'Brien'] to Hudson High School has been a respectable one this Winter. O'Brien comes into the program and brings skill on and off of the basketball. She is mainly a PG with great size, that is at her best when the rock is in her hands but she can also play off the ball and be a threat from the Wing or Corner as well. O'Brien has brought a balanced attacking style with her this Winter for her program. She has made them more dynamic as a whole and she has definitely made them tougher to stop overall. We have Macey as a future D1 prospect. The skill, size, and determination is all there - it's really just going to be up to whoever gives her the opportunity in the end and whatever place feels more like home to her.     Brooklyn Rutledge has been a bright light this Winter as an addition at St. Albert out of Council Bluffs, Iowa. Rutledge has size at 6'0 with some freak athletic ability to pair. She is someone that flies high at the rim and she seems to make tough, athletically challenging plays every contest. She is also. a hooper that is very active around the rim defensively as someone that can alter shots when opponents get into the middle of things. St. Albert has a high chance of running it back this Winter for back2back State Titles. This addition of Rutledge is going to play crucial down the stretch. Something I can't wait to see first hand.
